i didn't really like the game. i'm not going to ask for a refund or anything but it's definitely not my cup of tea. in my opinion the uniquneness of it's tone doesn't make up for the fact that it's mechanics are tired and antiquated. however, i suppose gamers younger than me will find it's retro chic engaging, but i'm so old the style doesn't really appeal to me on that level even though it was well done. that being said i haven't really felt that there was an unfair backlash against the game. perhaps the fact that a lot of the people championing undertale in the press have been so untrustworthy in recomendations they've made in the past there's a little bit of the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome that accounts for it.
