I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

    I think Undertale is such an easy 10/10 if you even kinda like JRPGs. The artstyle clearly has retro inspirations which I usually find insufferable, but the character and environmental design behind it rules. The soundtrack is consistently great, the jokes land, the combat is inventive and learning how to deal with the mechanics of each fight is wonderful. It also has the "murdering everything over and over is bad actually" message which, while done better in MOON, was done well. The worst part of it is the genocide route, and even that feels like a purposeful punishment for being a dick.

      "Completionism" is a fuck and Undertale teaches that. Look at how creepy the sigma grindset hustlers of real life are, and how badly they tend to crave superficial goal attainment over non-superficial and non-transactional friendships or romances with other people.
