When I first played Deltarune Chapter 1 I had a blast with it, but I've since come to realize it was mostly just because of the excitement of playing another Toby Fox game, and the mystery of how it was released. After finishing it, I tried to return to it multiple times but it never held my interest for long, and I think that's because the characters really lacked that Undertale-magic. So it took me a long time to play Deltarune 2.
But MAN, this is SUCH a step-up!! This is exactly what I wanted, the characters here are soo lovable and funny and really make me want to find out more about them!! The gameplay was generally simplified so it's basically a visual novel with some puzzle and light-bullet-hell elements, which I really didn't mind since it made the playthrough really relaxing. The world is really really interesting and the mystery aspect has me super engaged!!
It also has Spamton. i love Spamtom. didn't think i'd love them so much but i love spamton
