I feel like that poll should have excluded games less than two years old. Or even a rule like..."No fucking meme games"

Undertale winning "best game ever" is about as legitimate as Draven or L-Block winning the best character polls.

Yeah, sure, why not? Amazing story, amazing characters, great characters with probably the best use of leitmotif in any video game whatsoever. Has a good moral theme and presentation that speaks to the player in a direct way that few other games can accomplish.

It's up there. Love how it still makes GameFAQs seethe. I don't think a single JRPG beats it in gameplay, it's artstyle while minimalistic is absolutely iconic, it has one of the best soundtracks in videogame history, the writing is endlessly charming, good character writing, it's genuinely hard to find a complaint.

Undertale is a completely different league from those lol.

Nah. L-Block made it just in time before T-Block would've kicked his ass all over the place.

It's well put-together, but it's not head-and-shoulders above other well-made indie games. The writing is good, but a lot of it boils down to memes and sight gags. The story is cool and the concept of "determination" is good, especially for how it works in previous save files and reloads...but it's not in the same league as games like LttP, OOT, MGS1-4, Final Fantasy 6/7/8/9, Pokemon (any version), RDR2, GTA:SA/IV/V, DMC 1/3/5, etc.

Undertale is impressive for a small development team. It was fun for a while and had some nice memes. The soundtrack is top-tier--I actually bought the officially-sanctioned cover CD made by a bunch of YouTube musicians. But...it's not even close to the best game ever.

I take some solace in knowing that when the "game of the decade" poll came out a while back, Undertale got dark-smashed by Octopath Traveler in the poll. Its meme popularity wore out. It can't undo the sham we got back then, but at least the natural order returned, albeit too late.

LttP/OoT/Pokmon do not have great stories. Some great set pieces and iconic character designs, sure, but their stories are pretty plain. Personally I'd also say that about FF and DMC.

Undertale's sight gags are more concentrated near the early/mid game, it takes things much more seriously when you begin real progression towards one of the non-neutral endings.

Octopath has some of the most offensive storylines I've seen in a videogame including a positive depiction of Stockholm syndrome for Therion's arc. If you root for that game over Undertale it really just shows how much the Best Game Ever poll got under your skin for having 'outsiders' vote in it.

Undertale is an excellent game, but it isn't as good as many of the games it riffs on, and depends heavily on nostalgia for them.

That said, I totally get why someone could think it's the best game ever.

Considering it was most popular with zoomers I don't think this is true at all.

You can have nostalgia for a time you never experienced.

I've never actually played it and haven't seen much of it. All I know is that is has a perception of being a "SJW game". Can anyone explain why that is? Asking genuinely.

Never heard it called that, but I heard their fanbase were absolutely rabid. To the point if you don't play it *their* way, then nuts to you.

There is a gay character and if you explore a lot you find a trans allegory backstory to one of the bosses. Unfortunately that is enough for some people to hate on.

No. The soundtrack was great, but I could not get into the gameplay/combat. Its a somewhat charming game but greatly over-rated.
