Roll up, roll up, Sony has once again blessed us with a plethora of free games, adding to a list of hundreds of titles that none of us could ever hope to get through in our lifetimes.
As of 18 July, there’sover 460 games to playviaPlayStation Plus’ Extra and Premium tier game libraries, which is wild considering that a huge amount of them are genuinely excellent. We’ve had some truly top-notch offerings since Sony’s subscription service was given its big overhaul last year, includingDragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Horizon Forbidden West,andNEO: The World Ends with You.

While the choice-based aspect ofUndertaleis brilliant, and makes the game very replayable, where it really shines is in its dialogue and sense of humour. A truly one-of-a-kind blend of weird, chaotic and wholesome (not to mention with a plentiful helping of puns), it boasts quite easily my favourite video game writing of all time. Each character is so distinct and memorable - I still remember the names and personalities of random NPCs almost eight years on from the game’s release, and that’s no mean feat. Love you, Burgerpants.

Ultimately, I’m not sure if it’s the loveable characters, touching story, emotive soundtrack or the combination of all the above, butUndertalehas an astonishing ability to truly connect with the player and resonate with them forever. Again, without spoiling anything, it’s very difficult to play through this indie darling and notfeel something. Despite its relatively concise runtime, it’s a game that can make you laugh as hard as it can make you cry, and believe me, you will - on both counts.
If you’ve not already playedUndertale, please do. Heck, even if you already have, why not do it again? It’s a game that needs to be experienced first-hand, and preferably unspoiled, but even if you know each and every line of dialogue like the back of your hand, it never loses its charm. Seriously, it’s something very special, so don’t miss out.
