FTL: Faster Than Light came out ten years ago, but this is the first time I have played it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was very surprised by how much fun it was! I would recommend this to anyone who likes roguelikes or strategy games. This Faster Than Light review was a …
While there are a lot of indie subgenres that demand their moment in the spotlight, such as the breakout craze of Roguelites, or the wonderous world of walking sims, there are a few that have been a mainstay in the gaming zeitgeist since day one, and one of those is the RPG genre. An RPG …
Souls play a considerable part in the narrative of Undertale. It’s explained that your human soul is what makes you unique. Your soul is stronger than the monster’s souls, and human souls are needed to break the Barrier separating the Underground from the surface. In every route you can take in Undertale, the soul plays …
Chara was the first human to fall into the Underworld. Like Frisk, Chara’s name can be different depending on your game. If you don’t want to meet Chara, you don’t have to. If you want to talk to Chara, you have to go for the Genocide ending. It plays into the evil nature of the …

You meet Mettaton after you talk with Dr. Alphus. According to the good doctor, Mettaton was built to be an entertainment robot. This gave me flashbacks to a South Park episode where the German government created a robot to tell jokes. Unfortunately, Dr. Alphus gave Mettaton some anti-human combat features. I’m not sure how they …
I wasn’t expecting to find something like this in Undertale. The first time I played the game, I didn’t get what I was supposed to do. I just shrugged and moved past the Piano Puzzle. I missed out on one of the game’s many jokes. This was a very annoying puzzle for me. Even when …
There are a lot of intriguing characters in Undertale. Each of them seems to have a unique personality and motivations that are a nice change of pace from other role-playing games (RPGs). Papyrus is one of those characters. The way Papyrus talks and acts reminds me of some people I’ve met. I felt that he …
