PC Critic Reviews

As an individual release, Chapter 5 is a new peak for Deltarune. As a follow-up to Chapters 3+4, it offers more in a way that maintains overwhelming expectations for what’s to come. And that’s all this chapter had to do. Once again, Toby Fox has spent more time opening worm-loaded cans than closing them. If there are indeed only two chapters remaining, they have a fascinating yet intimidating onus. Though, again, what reason have we to doubt Fox and his team’s capability?

Deltarune Chapter 5 offers more questions than answers in terms of the saga's mysterious lore. Fortunately, though, the gameplay, writing, and overall design make for a thoroughly engaging detour into a flower-filled Dark World.
