The thing that impresses me the most about Undertale isn't the game itself, nor the fact that it was made on a rubbish game engine by one guy with minimal gamedev experience doing almost everything by himself (Toby Fox was able to build this in a cave! ...with a box of scraps!), nor the fact that it somehow managed to obtain virtually universal acclaim. Not that those aren't pretty impressive in and of themselves!

But I'd say the very most impressive thing about it is that despite every song on the soundtrack being beset by multitudes of remarkably talented musicians, there are terrifyingly few pieces of fan-music that can directly compete with the original tracks, which seems an absolutely preposterous notion considering that nothing should withstand creative power of that magnitude.

When the Internet bears such an impossible volume of raw energy down on anything, things generally splinter like a cheap toy. This is akin to watching a massive barrage ricochet harmlessly off of a tiny, dog-shaped tank. Needless to say, Toby Fox is a seriously good musician.


TL;DR: it's good play it. Even if you don't care for the game, you'll probably like the music. I don't even like music and I like the music
