Graveyard Keeper is an engaging and rewarding farming sim weighed down by pacing and performance issues. The GBA-style visuals compliment its contained open world, and influences from old-school Zelda games that shine through just as much as that of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. The PC and Xbox versions play almost exactly the same, which is unfortunate considering the game’s performance, but if you can look past all the spots and blotches, you’ll likely enjoy the challenging gathering-crafting grind, and the game’s macabre humor when it actually lands.
Graveyard Keeper is often seen as a 'macabre' Stardew Valley, which kind of fits as a description. Unfortunately, Stardew Valey remains the Graveyard Keeper is often seen as a 'macabre' Stardew Valley, which kind of fits as a description.
Unfortunately, Stardew Valey remains the superior game in almost every way. Don't get me wrong, Graveyard Keeper (GK) is a pretty cool and interesting game. It has a lot more depth to it than Stardew Valley has.
Every character in the game has tasks for you, so you can always use those tasks as a kind of 'to-do list' that keeps you occupied. The resource and crafting system, including the available update paths is huge, but that's also the biggest problem of the game. GK has almost no quality of life features. Quick travel?
No, you need to walk everywhere, all the time. Quest markers? No, you better remember when and where to find an item, resource, or even NPC. Pin-able crafting recipes? No, better keep some pen & paper at your side if you don't have a photographic memory.
Auto-crafting of parts needed in higher-level blueprints? Nope, manual crafting all the way. Often times I can't shake the feeling that the devs try to waste as much of my time as possible, by not giving me a single task that can be 'just completed' throughout the entire game.
Everything is like an old adventure game: To accomplish A, you need to do B, which needs you to craft C, which needs parts D, E & F, D needs you to collect G and craft H, H needs you to collect I, J & K, and you can only get K on some days at night. And only if you have already finished task L. And GK does not help you with an QoL on the way. GK could be an absolutely amazing game, if it only had some QoL improvements. Right now, it's an insanely tedious game, yet still fun if you love to grind in games. Unfinished Game and what's in is not properly done.
Whoever gives this Game more than 5 in the current state should consult their local Unfinished Game and what's in is not properly done. Whoever gives this Game more than 5 in the current state should consult their local psychologist because there is obviously something wrong in your brain.
Game gives you not much Tutorials, the Time you run from A to B is pretty much the whole Game. Every new NPC loads you with 50 million Quests to do.
Not to speak of several Bugs which sometimes can cause you to start the Game over because the Savegame is broken. A complete letdown. This game is quite obviously a rushed unfinished attempt to capitalize on stardew valley's success.
Sadly it lacks the polish Stardew had on This game is quite obviously a rushed unfinished attempt to capitalize on stardew valley's success. Sadly it lacks the polish Stardew had on release. Instead of SV's amazing soundtrack with some 30 different and well crafted songs you get. That's right just one song on loop the entire game. Completely rips off stardew valley farming bit for bit. You will be doing way more farming than graveyard keeping in this game. The graveyard is a complete afterthought here.
Gone are the meaningful relationships with the townsfolk as well. The dialogue written for them is very short and in most cases story lines are STILL unfinished after selling 2 DLC releases at 35$ for the full (unfinished) game now on steam. Latest DLC finally adds dialogue to a few characters so they can give you tedious fetch quests. The tavern in this game is totally pointless unless you just like to make more money for no particular reason whatsoever while you watch your tavern guests aimlessly walk around saying 'get out of my way' lol seriously lazy programming just getting this out the door as fast a possible to get rich on that SV nostalgia.
Seriously a shameless cash grab. Take a pass on this one unless you want to endlessly grind things for no reward at the end.
Still completely unfinished concept and not very well though out.
Graveyard Keeper is the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management simulator of the year. Build & manage your own graveyard while finding shortcuts to cut costs, expand into entertainment with witch-burning festivals, and scare nearby villagers into attending church.
