Undertale has a lot of heart. Every section, every character, every dialogue is oozing with its own charm and quirk.
Yet, it never vibed with me.
Perhaps its the age difference? No, I was born in the same generation with the people who have enjoyed it. Perhaps I got turned off by its fanbase? Not really, I pay no attention to social media's reception anyway.
Then perhaps, Undertale didn't vibe with me because I've played dozens of games that predated Undertale, all of which already gave me the quirk, weirdness, and humor that Undertale possessed.
Its clear cut inspiration like Earthbound has done this. Perhaps a game that embraces its quirkiness in tone and gameplay like Katamari Damacy, and even an incomparable game like Lufia has already strung this particular beat in my heart, the similar string that Undertale embraces.
Undertale might be a great game, but I only found it to be enjoyable enough to finish it once. This is not to say that Undertale is bad, it just never managed to strike that chord in me.
