Graveyard Keeper Reviews
This is an excellent farm simulator. It stands out for its wide crafty system and skill tree, with a scandalous graphic section and an eye-catching soundtrack. Certain decisions in the playable section take away some points, but even so it is an excellent purchase for lovers of the genre.

Graveyard Keeper makes a lot of bold choices, replacing the friendly, relaxing atmosphere of typical life sims with a more goal-directed structure in a more cynical setting. While I found its pace tedious at times and would have preferred more focus on the grave-tending mechanics, more patient players will find a lot to like in its wealth of well-developed diversions, fantastic art and music, and pitch-black comedic aesthetic.
Graveyard Keeper is an engaging sim that's a little too cheap with giving out information.
'Graveyard Keeper' puts you in the shoes of the Gravekeeper. You are responsible for maintaining the graveyard, building relationships with the townspeople, and making money by any means necessary - morally or not. With it's interpretive playstyle, pixelated graphics, and myriad of things to do, 'Graveyard Keeper' will keep you entertained for a long time.
This game appeals to all who find they have an inclination for existential and pessimistic morbidity, though they want to keep it lighthearted. In addition to being a fun play on death and what that entails, this game also begins to describe issues involving faith, trust, community, ethics, and politics. We highly suggest everyone to play this game and see if it sticks with you as much as it did for us.
Graveyard Keeper is a black comedy disguised as a management sim. Though entertaining, it's plagued by cumbersome upgrade systems and taxing tech trees.
A macabre and fun resource management game that will only be overshadowed by its instability of fps and other mechanical issues.

As long as you can stomach the slow opening stretch and that the game doesn't quite live up to its title, you'll enjoy this gruesome spin on the farming genre.
It's cute to look at, which is a big plus when you're chopping up dead, rotting-by-the-minute bodies. It's colourful, the different parts of the map are distinct, the animations are totally in line and with all this--it makes it a joy to walk around and explore. I never felt lost (even with the map on standby) and I never felt bored of what I was looking at on screen.
Some gamers may appreciate Graveyard Keeper's grindfest of a campaign but those who are looking for something more immediately gratifying will likely become frustrated beyond repair with its convoluted systems and tedious tasks.
Arcane busywork leaves little room for genuine pleasure in this fascinating and frustrating genre oddity.
I don't want to make it seem like I absolutely abhorred my time with Graveyard Keeper. However, I feel I only didn't absolutely hate it because I'm already a massive fan of the genre. I can't in good conscience recommend it to you if you're only looking for a new game.
If reaching the anti-climatic ending is all you want from this title then you’ll be sorely disappointed. Its brilliance shines in the everyday mastery and management of its systems, in a fleeting but fulfilling experience of a productive and successful existence.
A nice relaxed, and horribly inaccurate, management sim. Live your dream of becoming the owner of your very own graveyard! Really fun and addictive game. I was blown away by the sheer amount of stuff to do. As someone who doesn't typically enjoy this genre, this game managed to keep me addicted well into the night. If you enjoy talking donkeys and morally questionable decisions, this is the game for you.
Graveyard Keeper is an engaging and rewarding farming sim weighed down by pacing and performance issues.
If you don't mind doing extensive web research in order to understand the ins and outs of Graveyard Keeper's gameplay progression, you'll be able to enjoy the best of what the game has to offer. However, if you would rather not deal with the hassle, I recommend passing on this one and checking out Stardew Valley instead.
If you're an absolute sucker for life simulation games based on crafting and building, Graveyard Keeper will certainly be to your liking. Even if you're a genre tourist like myself, you'll find it hard to deny the game's ability to make you keep coming back for more. Whether you'll stick with it or not depends on how much you're able to tolerate busywork and planning without much of a narrative return.
Graveyard Keeper is a management sim like Stardew Valley with a graveyard theme. The gameplay mechanics are vast and well-built but there are flaws and sophisticated systems that can make the game extremely boring for the first hours of play. However, If you bare the first hours of game, then it will become fun and you can enjoy it. The game has very good story potential but unfortunately it doesn’t use this potential and story is forgotten after the first hour. At all, If you like Stardrew Valley, you’ll probably enjoy Graveyard Keeper but my suggestion is waiting for about two months for balancing updates and then consider buying this game.

Graveyard Keeper has a high quality to it with a ton to do, the starting segment is however quite boring to work through.
A game trying to be deeper than its inspirations, but ends up digging a little too deep.
