I'm having withdrawal from Graveyard Keeper. It's the kind of game that gets under your skin and has you thinking about game logic when doing day-to-day things. The grocery store is a nightmare: "No, I don't need apples, I have about 50 of those in my trunk. Wait... that's not real life, Travis." According to Steam, it took 45 hours for me to beat the game but I could have happily gone another 45. I didn't intend to wait until I beat it to write this review, it's just that I couldn't stop playing it.
If you've played a farming sim, Graveyard Keeper will feel...
Yeah, this game looks really cool.
One thing I’ve heard from a few other that have played Graveyard Keeper is that they like it more than Stardew Valley because of the style and gameplay. Apparently the game is pretty funny too which is why some seem to prefer it.
What do you think?
It really is funny. And just bizarre. I loved the tone.
I am well aware that the gameplay loops are very similar but I just can't get into Stardew Valley even though I put hours upon hours into Graveyard Keeper. The tone is definitely part of it, but there's some undefinable quality about it. I wish I knew what it was, because I want to enjoy Stardew Valley as well!
