It mixes crafting, farming and RPG with very intelligent humor. There are many easter eggs like the names of the DLC or the vampire hunter (aka Geralt de Rivia). The history is long and you have to be ready for repetitive tasks - like the other games of the same gender.… Expand

There is a littleThe game does take quite a bit of getting used to and at times it can be a little overwhelming with how much you have to do. There is a little too much grinding included in the game and this can make things become a little tedious.Does Graveyard Keeper do enough to get a recommendation from me: Have you ever wanted to build and manage your very own graveyard? Well now you can with the very fun and in some ways unique Graveyard Keeper. This game is a management sim at heart, but it also features some unique mechanics which have been done really well and are charming to say the least. In terms of content you’ll easily be able to sink tons of hours into it, in fact there’s that much content that at times you can be a little overwhelmed. The content also features quite a bit of grinding as well so things will become tedious a little bit, but thankfully when you get past the grinding what you get is a game that’s full of life and variety. This variety then makes recommending Graveyard Keeper quite easy and if you have any interest in game’s of this ilk then you will thoroughly enjoy your time with this game.… Expand

   I had fun at first and I really liked the aesthetic and idea of this game, but after pouring 15 hours into this game it felt like II had fun at first and I really liked the aesthetic and idea of this game, but after pouring 15 hours into this game it felt like I accomplished nothing. Every character you meet, every station you build, all progression you have is trivialized by making the next steps exponentially more complicated.
   
   I've met ~20 NPCs and the majority of them have some quest for you to complete. Once you complete a quest you are rewarded with their gratitude (which is almost worthless) and unlock 3 more quests that are more difficult to accomplish than the last one. This mechanic of ever branching tasks is implemented into every part of the game. I was hoping the further I upgraded my technologies the better my efficiency would get, but it only made grinding for resources that much harder.
   
   Another progress hindering issue is resource management. It's a never ending juggle of what you can carry vs what you have to store in the multiple storage bins scattered throughout your land. You can never carry enough and there isn't a way to increase your carry storage, so a lot of your time is be spent just walking back and forth storing and retrieving items from said storage bins.
   
   TL;DR - This game is more complicated than managing your real life and is based on grinding just for the sake of more grinding.… Expand

From the crafting stations and their crafted objects to the energy burned 'incompleting' a task; each element presents itself as a hindrance to your progress. You can never just accomplish anything, you have to manage an overly complex mess of interacting dependencies just to advance the world the tiniest bit.
   
   The bulk of my experience consisted of walking home to sleep, watching my character sleep and then trying to remember what I was doing before I ran out of energy. Food was practically useless, it provided such little sustenance. I failed to find seeds to jumpstart the garden plot I bought and began to prepare. The sensation of empowerment by accomplishing goals and achieving means was absent entirely.
   
   It's monotonous and unrewarding, and for me well outside the realm of entertainment. Very nice graphics and a really great concept do not overcome terrible execution. The development studio behind this title might consider hiring someone with RPG experience, as it seems the plot was at one time a priority for the team. I can't speculate as to what happened during development such that the game shipped in the state it did.
   
   On release, Graveyard Keeper felt like a crash course in cumbersome, user-hostile design.… Expand

   I've already spent waaayyy too much time in this game, so in high contrast. I'll keep this short. The grind in this game is beyondI've already spent waaayyy too much time in this game, so in high contrast. I'll keep this short. The grind in this game is beyond aggrevating. it's obnoxious. This is a game for masochists. I want to like it as it is surely enjoyable at first and it would stay so if the grinding would be at acceptable levels. Spoiler: it isn"t. GK desperately needs an overhaul and quality of life cheats. On PC there are extensive trainer programs - which are a necessity = but on console you're buggered.... Stay clear… Expand

   DONT BUY THIS GAME! Its an ok game in itself, but there is good chance your are never going to be able to finish the story/game at all. TheDONT BUY THIS GAME! Its an ok game in itself, but there is good chance your are never going to be able to finish the story/game at all. The devs know about several game breaking bugs, that is already fixed on pc over 6 months ago, but they just abandoned every console release. This kind of game, more than any other, just feels really bad, when you find out that you will never see the end. Buy Stardew valley instead… Expand

   L'étron indé du jour vous met dans la peau d'un gardien de cimetière... à la fois croque-mort et dealer de cadavres, vous devez les mettreL'étron indé du jour vous met dans la peau d'un gardien de cimetière... à la fois croque-mort et dealer de cadavres, vous devez les mettre dans le trou et accessoirement en faire des lasagnes, puis les livrer à la taverne du coin. Il faudra aussi gérer et améliorer le cimetière pour qu'il soit plus joli et que les ouailles viennent ensuite à l'église (que vous aurez rénovée) pour filer des thunes.
   
   Car entretenir un cimetière, ça coûte du pognon et c'est du boulot... il faut fabriquer des bidules et des trucs, utuliser les outils adéquats et là, dans le genre relou, Graveyard prout est bien gravos et pénible via une interface déplorable et hideuse. Il est gravos également en ce qui concerne son humour (?) de fond de poubelle avec cet âne communiste réactionnaire (il lui manque juste le gilet jaune). Sans compter les bruits, les borborygmes qui servent de "voix" (?) dès que vous parlez à la brochette des trous de balle de ce village miteux.
   
   C'est donc d'un goût douteux, très douteux à la manière des "graphismes" (?) tout droit sortis d'une vieille Megadrive fatiguenaze qu'on vient de déterrer : du 256 couleurs (et encore) pixélisé exprès à outrance. Pour faire genre "jeu Télérama" et "pixel lard" comme on dit de nos jours.
   
   Un indé foireux bien gravos donc qu'il faut enterrer... ou plutôt non, balancer à la fosse commune sans cérémonie et sans ménagement.… Expand
