I've never been more disappointed in not liking a game. My full thoughts are on the Use Your Items podcast:

I tried playing this game 3 times, and only finished it on the 3rd play through. It wasn't due to being bored mind you, I was somehow just not captured and it kind of fell to the way side.

Third time though, I was filled with determination and finished it. I wasn't going for any specific ending, but I had the following mantra, if you asked for mercy after bringing me to low health, I would not acquiesce. This was my way for role-playing a character who would forgive anyone, but wouldn't be dumb enough to forgive a villain that brought me low.

Unfortunately, Papyrus brought be down to low health. We were both at around 4 HP before he asked for mercy and I did not give him reprieve. I feel fine spoiling this as a warning: killing Papyrus makes the game incredibly boring. In my previous two playthroughs I had gotten to around the last Undyne battle, so I knew about how the story usually plays out early on. If you kill Papyrus there are no other cutscenes or story beats, its all quiet and boring.

I feel bad giving a 2.5 star rating for a game that I feel like I would've enjoyed more if I had played it differently, but this play through is all I got and it's too easy to kill Papyrus, so can't really forgive this glaring issue.
