Undertale more of a must-play and a cultural phenomenon. One of my favorite indie games of all time.

If you think you'll like it, you'll probably love it. Even if you don't think you'll like it, you'll probably like it. Don't watch any playthroughs before playing. Watching anything Undertale related will ruin the experience immensely.

Humor is subjective. And the humor in Undertale is very silly but divisive. Some people don't like it and many liken it to cheap "lol meme" humor. I don't agree with that assessment but that sentiment is shared commonly enough that I think it's worth mentioning here, if that's something that might turn you off from the game. My personal thoughts are that even if the humor doesn't resonate with you, the serious parts should still make up for it but on the flipside, not everyone agrees with that assessment.

The music in this game is an absolute gem! I absolutely love and it is better than it deserves to be if it's in this game. Toby Fox knows his way around composition, mood, and rhythm! The chiptune-instrumented songs get in your head and the loop does not wear out. Bravo!

Even with all my ranting, I can see why people call it overhyped/overrated. There is a free demo on their website. You can try it before purchasing it.
