Undertale - Analytical Review (Reupload)

As the disclaimer says, this is a reupload (Original Posted May 30th 2016) from my other channel. I don't really want to exist on two channels at the moment, and even though this video is old, I put a lot of work into it and I am (relatively) proud of this. I don't agree with EVERYTHING that I said here in hindsight, and this was obviously made way before the release of Deltarune Chapter 1 or even the Switch version of the game. I figured I'd give this video a second place to die on this channel so that the body of my work can at least be found in one place.

Here is the original video description:

"What is it in particular is it that makes Undertale such a good game? In this long-form (essay-ish) review, I attempt to break down the different elements that make up Undertale, and take a look at what it is it does differently (or even better) than other comparable games."

"This is my first attempt at making a video like this, so please, any criticism is welcomed, I know there are some parts where the pacing, as well as the audio get a little funky, the original file and me had a bit of a disagreement at one point and it made editing the older sections kind of sort of impossible."

"Although I do end up giving this game a 10/10, this review is actually less about what I think personally about the game, and more about what it is that Toby Fox did to create what some people call a masterpiece. This is, instead, an analytical review made to help give people a better understanding of what did to be considered a masterpiece, as well as give you some insight on how it is I rate and review games. The review breaks down the graphics, the writing, the music and the gameplay, the things I consider to be the essential elements that make up (most) videogames, and show you some super neat examples inside of Undertale that use those elements to constantly surprise the players. By the end of the review, hopefully you will see how all four of those elements work together to create one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have ever had, and one I probably won’t ever forget."

"This video took me way to long to make, holy shit." - Sean, 2016

The rest is being removed for brevity.
