recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
As far as Undertale goes at least even if maybe the design kind of looks like it’s designed to tap into 80’s nostalgia I really don’t get the impression that’s the main appeal for most people. The fandom thing is definitely true though, I’m glad I was young and chronically offline enough not to see any of that before I’d played the game through in its entirety
