ALL OF MY FEELINGS AHHH \;A;/

Play Undertale. Everyone, if you can, pick up Undertale and play it. This is the most I've felt from a video game since Earthbound and Mother 3. The game is clearly bringing inspiration from those games as well, if you loved Earthbound you'll probably love this game. It's cute, charming and whimsical but also emotional and unsettling.

The main thing that makes this game so great is it's core mechanic. You can get though the whole game peacefully, without having to kill a single soul. You can observe the behaviors of your enemies and figure out what action to take to settle this dispute peacefully. If it was just a non-violent game it would be impressive, but you can indeed fight in normal video game fashion, it's the fact that it's an option rather then the only choice that makes it so powerful. You, the player, can choose to not hurt anyone. it's your choice and not just the only way to make the game progress.

And the story and writing and characters are all amazing as well. Everyone play this game it's so good.
