Graveyard Keeper

Game has zero direction. Just spent hours trying to make a clay bowl only to find out that i need a dlc that i don't own to proceed. Can't even plant carrots for the donkey and i don't know why.

A very satisfying game if you like working towards progress. Real definition of busy simulator, it will keep your brain thinking of what to do next. I was hesitant to play at first because some reviews say the game is grindy. But after playing it myself, i find that the grind is acceptable, collecting materials is actually pretty fun and when you have unlocked zombies you pretty much have automation. The world and story is full of humor and satire and very interesting. Art style is very BEAUTIFUL. There is no guide so you have to learn everything yourself. Read carefully description of every item, workbench, and technologies in order to know what to do next. Early quests might not be solvable until later because the quest item might need 5+ steps on the tech tree before you can actually craft it. So early game can feel a bit confusing but you'll understand the flow of the game the more you play. Totally thumbing this up, looking forward to GYK 2!

This is a great game! This game will inevitably be compared a lot to Stardew Valley, but it's actually quite different and better in many ways. Pros: 1. The pixel art is incredibly well done. The dynamic lighting and weather effects are amazing! SDV on the other hand, while charming in its own way, definitely feels more like "programmer art". 2. This game actually has a quite interesting storyline (more content there if you get the DLCs), with intertwined quests from different NPCs. 3. [i]Actual[/i] chill and cozy vibes, because there is no time pressure at all! The events happen on a weekly rotation, so if you missed anything, or can't finish something on a certain day, all you need to do is wait one week (about half an hour in real time). No quests are time-locked, so you can do them at any time of your leisure. When the NPCs tell you to "come back tomorrow" in a quest, that means you can go back tomorrow, or 50 days later, it doesn't matter. Even the main graveyard management mechanic can be paused (so that you stop getting a new corpse every day), if you want to focus on other stuff in the game. 4. I really enjoyed the characters and humor in this game. The mumbling skull companion is an instant favorite - "Holy sard! I'm a skull!" Neutrals: 1. The quests in this game are highly intertwined. So there will be a lot of "talk to A, who tells you to talk to B, who asks for item C which is sold by D, but only if you improve your relation with him first by getting item E..." going on. The fact that key NPCs only show up on their special day of the week makes this a little annoying. 2. There are a lot of different things to do in this game, which is awesome. But it could feel a bit overwhelming at times. Both of these points could be negatives, but not so much since there's no time pressure at all. Just do whatever you want at your own pace. Cons: 1. The game is very grindy. The DLCs introduce some mechanics that could improve the QoL and/or speed up some of the grind, but still. I highly recommend installing some mods, and that should really help improve the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed it. You should definitely get it if you like farming/crafting sims, cozy and chill gameplay, nice pixel graphics, and dark humors.

Daora o stardew valley da deep web. Gostosin por não ter tanta limitação, da pra jogar sem pensar tanto.

миллион квестов, миллион вопросов, миллион ответов, непонятно как многие вещи сделать, зачем делать, иди туда, иди сюда, иди к звездочёту, на гору, к церкви, в деревню, время непонятно как определяется. 3 / 10

This game is pretty much tedious and overwhelming. In the beginning you are being bombarded with tutorials, mechanics and characters. The tutorials only answer half of the mechanics and you pretty much have to look up online what the remaining things mean. I even had to look up how one uses a sword. One of the tutorials mentions that repair kits can be crafted, but apparently it's hidden deep in one of the six tech tree tabs. Why not pace the mechanics gradually? The game throws items at you in the beginning, but provides you with no ways of actually using them. You can't even sell them because most items are unsellable. A different thing is the time spent just traveling. I swear I spend most of my time just looking at my character walk. It's just not fun.

A wiki game full of grind and backtracking. Bugged items left unfixed, also UI tooltips show off-screen for some techs. Nice graphics and some story and progression, good for one playthrough at most.

At first, the game was kinda fun. But as I kept playing, every tasks felt tedious and unrewarding. It wasn't fun for me and it felt like a chore to play. Interacting with the world would sometimes bug out, stopping me from what I was doing, as I need to be in the right place to keep up with the activity. Like collecting sand. The items spawning on the ground would push me out of the interactable object and stop me from shoveling sand. I was also prone to getting in places. There are some in-game mechanics, or overall information of the game that was glossed over and not explained at all. The tutorial in the game was not enough as I needed to look up online for the ones that I needed to know. A lot of the mechanics also felt undercooked. Overall, this is a mediocre game for me. So I'm gonna have to give it a thumbs down.
