Undertale

At first, it tricks you. Cute little pixel game, right? Just some kid who yeets themselves into Monster Underground, classic RPG shenanigans. But, plot twist: that simplicity is a total lie. Underneath, it’s got layers. Like, emotionally dense lasagna. The game is sharp, hilarious, and honestly? Sometimes it’ll hit you right in the feels when you least expect it. So, what makes this game different? It’s not just “don’t kill the monsters.” It’s that Undertale actually cares about your choices. Every single decision, every mercy, every little moment of bloodlust or hesitation, it clocks it. Remembers it. Doesn’t let you forget, either. It’s not just story fluff; it’s baked into the game’s DNA. Even past playthroughs haunt you. Dragon's Dogma 2 features: Killing is unnecessary: negotiate out of danger using the unique battle system. Time your attacks for extra damage, then dodge enemy attacks in a style reminiscent of top-down shooters. Original art and soundtrack brimming with personality. Soulful, character-rich story with an emphasis on humor. Created mostly by one person. Become friends with all of the bosses! At least 5 dogs. You can date a skeleton. Hmmm... now there are 6 dogs...? Maybe you won't want to date the skeleton. I thought I found a 7th dog, but it was actually just the 3rd dog. If you play this game, can you count the dogs for me...? I'm not good at it.
