Undertale
Undertale doesn’t adopt the same episodic style of Telltale’s series, but what it does do fantastically is test your moral compass through the decisions you make. It doesn’t just do so in simple conversational decision-making, either, with its combat system simply giving you a variety of different approaches to choose from. Will you try and talk to that misunderstood dog across from you? Throw a bone for it? Or just kill it because why not?
And that’s Undertale’s biggest pull. It never tells you how to play the game, nor advise you on what may be the best way to approach a situation. Though its gameplay is largely basic, its story carries a strong message, one that rings loud and clear by the end of your playthrough – have tolerance and respect for those different from you.
If you’re looking for a game that will make you laugh, make you cry, and stay with you for quite some time, Undertale should be toward the top of your list.
