Finished Deltarune, it was kino.
Me when Toby Fox references a meme: cringeMe when he makes an entire boss themed around YTPs: clapping like a seal
Really though it was good. Chapter 3 was eh on its own but Chapter 4 was excellent. The two of them releasing at once makes it feel like one big chapter, and viewing it through that lens, I liked it a lot.
Surely now I won't get distracted playing Umineko
OK but hear me out, chapter 3 has Tenna doing crusty CGI dances
I was also a bit eh in Chapter 3, it's not what I expected or wanted after chapter 2, but having given it some time I'm glad it exists. It's a very self-contained story mostly about Kris's family falling apart, and it sets up a lot for Ralsei and Susie in chapter 4. Also the mini games are fun, the guitar hero kicks ass. Tenna was a bit underwhelming, I like his backstory and motivations but he felt very much like a rerun of spamton. The whole "mad entertainer has a very visible breakdown while trying to present as in control" was very similar, and him and Spamton share lots of little lines (big shot, cungadero etc). Maybe if I hadn't just spent the past three years obsessing over Spamton it would feel a bit fresher.
But as a third chapter in a seven part story I think it works. We get lots of silly stuff and character setup, then the stakes spike at the end.
I have zero criticisms of chapter 4 though, that was everything I wanted and more. The map, the music, and my god the characters. Kris was already my favorite but they get even more fascinating in chapter 4. They're such a little gremlin and also clearly hate being controlled by the player and have their own goals.

Also Gerson? Hello? Immediately became my second favourite, I love him so much. The SECOND I saw him and heard his music I knew I loved him. Incredible, what a guy. Ralsei also jumped in my ratings after being sidelined in chapter 2. Him having zero self worth and being completely self-sacrificing for Susie and Kris, at the price of his own identity and happiness, is so tragic. I love that little goat. And Susie was amazing too, the way she becomes kinder to herself and learns to believe in herself, and dares to try healing even though it will be hard. In chapter 4 Ralsei keeps mentioning how kind she is, and it's incredible to me how much I believe her character progression, from outcasted tough bully to kind renegade.Aaah I love Deltarune so much
They're similar because they're kinda supposed to be, it seems.

Yeah chapter 3 is fine with the context that chapter 4 comes right after. 4 still has jokes but it might have come off a little too serious on its own.I was half expecting Gerson to suddenly become evil or something but nah he's just cool like that. Susie stocks skyrocketing even higher.
