Is it still worth playing?

Toby Fox's 2015 role playing game, for which he wrote the script and the music, with most of the art by Temmie Chang. You play a child who falls into the Underground, a realm of monsters sealed beneath the surface. Combat mixes turn based actions with bullet hell dodging, in which you steer a small heart, and you can spare monsters instead of killing them, so that the dialogue and the story respond. The game remembers your choices across reloads and new playthroughs, and a playthrough takes about six to ten hours. It was inspired by EarthBound, Mario and Luigi, Touhou Project and Shin Megami Tensei. Choice is the reason to play it now: it remembers who you spared and who you killed, and it answers to both.
