01.24.16 | twas pretty good. I appreciated the creativity and writing more than I actually enjoyed the gameplay. The soundtrack is very sweet though. |
Calc
01.24.16 | soundtrack is best part. can't be bothered to play through it again though. |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | game of the decade |
torts
01.24.16 | proper shite |
LotusFlower
01.24.16 | Soundtrack is one of my all time favorites. I also really enjoy the game but I wouldn't go as far as to say "one of the bestest games ever." Though I do think it would be in my all time favorites list of I had one. |
Sinternet
01.24.16 | for all the hype it got i thought it was pretty boring and not as funny as I was made to believe |
WeepingBanana
01.24.16 | started playing this recently but haven't played in a while cause of business/forgetfulness |
Supercoolguy64
01.24.16 | good game i rate it a 4/5 |
Mystletainn
01.24.16 | It looks pretty boring, I value gameplay over anything else in games, doubt it's for me. |
Supercoolguy64
01.24.16 | someone needs to review the OST already so i can have a proper place to gush over "your favorite nightmare" |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | pretty sure it's 'your best nightmare' but yeah best song |
Rhyme
01.24.16 | one of the best games i've played in a while. very earthbound-esque but definitely stands on its own |
Satellite
01.24.16 | sounds interesting based on what i've read. do you imagine it would appeal to someone who's not typically a huge rpg fan? |

01.24.16 | "sounds interesting based on what i've read. do you imagine it would appeal to someone who's not typically a huge rpg fan?"
it's got some interesting quirks in there. like you can beat a lotta battles (or parts of battles) but not necessarily hurting the foe, but distracting them in some cases, or even "flirting" with them. also when the opponent attacks you, you play a little bullet hell minigame which is actually pretty cool. a lot of humor and personality across the characters and story too. it's also a pretty short game, so you won't have to worry too much about grinding (not an easy game tho). |
rufinthefury
01.24.16 | game is fucking awesome. and fuck the god damn final three boss battles theyre so hard |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | There's no grinding unless you play a specific way |
Satellite
01.24.16 | cool, i'm sold |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | game is an experience so you'd be doing yourself a favour in avoiding any spoilers whatsoever |
Calc
01.24.16 | it's also not hard in anyway, but yeah don't look shit up you'll ruin it for yourself |
LotusFlower
01.24.16 | @supercoolguy, i've been adding bits and pieces to a review for a while. though i am finding it hard to figure out how to cover the bases for a soundtrack with over 70 tracks (with the vast majority of them all being amazingly good) but you're right, Your Best Nightmare is gush worthy music. |
LotusFlower
01.24.16 | The game can get hard in certain boss battles, but it's not all that difficult overall. This game relies heavily on having as little info as possible walking in, and the fanbase has pretty much hyped it to the point where a lot of people are going to be let down. Sadly. |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | can't help but love 'hopes and dreams'. It sounds like such a cliche final boss theme but it fits the character so well |
Parallels
01.24.16 | asgore, heartache, fallen down reprise, save the world... they're really beautiful songs for a video game
Thats two games in the last year i've teared up playing, the other being LiS |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | there are like two bosses that you'd classify as "hard". Another that's pretty much trial and error, like that one super meat boy boss |
Calc
01.24.16 | oh you're so emotional.....
I think the most emotive game from last year was easily The Beginner's Guide. Now that's good writing |
Parallels
01.24.16 | B-but the pacifist ending ;_; |
Calc
01.24.16 | just watch a playthrough of the beginner's guide and if you're tearing up at undertale this should make you cry like a baby. especially if the person playing it is connecting with it too. the dude I was watching cried like 3 times I was like fuck dude i get it... |
LotusFlower
01.24.16 | The Beginner's Guide is that one walking simulator, right? I also hear That Dragon, Cancer is heart breaking. |
TheWrenKing
01.24.16 | Beginner's guide is truly something else |
Calc
01.24.16 | "The Beginner's Guide is that one walking simulator, right? I also hear That Dragon, Cancer is heart breaking."
yes it is, and the my friend showed me that cancer game and I rolled my eyes. who exactly are they targeting that towards? I guess some people enjoy feeling like shit but I'm not one of them |
Supercoolguy64
01.24.16 | hopes and dreams, another medium, asgore's theme, and your best nightmare are the top 4 best tracks from the ost hands down |
CrazyDiamond7
01.25.16 | Yeah the soundtrack is fantastic. Has anyone heard the Richaad// Ace Waters remix album? 'Tis pretty sweet. I just added it to the database:

Currently I'm debating between another neutral or a genocide run. After seeing the true pacifist ending though, I don't know if I have the heart to do the latter. :( |
SharkTooth
01.25.16 | Great game, but the fanbase is awful |
LotusFlower
01.25.16 | as are most fanbases. |
Supercoolguy64
01.25.16 | fanbase sucks no doubt
on an unrelated note i felt that the genocide run was really dumb tbh |
DirEnRefused
01.25.16 | played all the endings. people seem to hate the game now because of the five nights at freddy's esque tumblr deviantart ship following shit but if you strip all of that away then it's just a fantastic and original rpg in a genre which direly needed it.
soundtrack's best tunes are spider dance, megalovania and hopes and dreams. |
LotusFlower
01.25.16 | this game has so many good songs it would be easier to just name the ones you don't like. |
SharkTooth
01.25.16 | Agreed Genocide Run is a waste of time |
anarchistfish
01.25.16 | i was gonna get it during the steam sale but it looked kinda boring |
Calc
01.25.16 | I only got it cuz of the sale. it's not exactly original gameplay but it's novel in its presentation. worth the 5 bucks or whatever I spent on it. |
rufinthefury
01.25.16 | be the man that Papyrus wants you to be |
gryndstone
01.25.16 | Overhyped as fuck, but still worth a play through because its the good kind of unique and quirky |
