Beating out Half-Life 2 and BioShock
A couple of weeks back Destructoid’s very own Ben Davis reviewedUndertale, a veryEarthBound-inspired JRPG that melded a unique battle system, non-combat progression options, and a charming narrative to create an incredibly memorable experience. The game not only got a perfect score on Destructoid, but also our Editor’s Choice award.
You can read Ben’s reviewhere. It’s a very good video game indeed.
Apparently, we here at Destructoid were not the only people to really loveUndertale, as right now it is thehighest rated PC game on Metacritic, beating outHalf-Life 2, GTA V, The Orange Box, Half-LifeandBioShockby a single point.
While Metacritic’s methods of aggregation are flawed at best, it’s still reassuring to see a quirky, minimalist JRPG see such widespread critical reception.
So, have you triedUndertaleyet? I’m currently on my second playthrough and it’s filling theEarthBound-shaped hole in my gaming soul quite nicely.
