    The premise of Graveyard Keeper is of the most unique of just about any sim game out there, and this no-frills Switch port makes it portable for the first time. There really isn’t much that needs to be added impressively robust graveyard management game, but it would have been nice if the game took advantage of the Joy-Con rumble feature.

The attempt mostly succeeds, but is let down by making the game an obtuse grind through a tech tree with lots of dead ends and useless options.

    Quite often, the writing saves it; the dialogue is clever and well put together. It gives it a satirical edge that does a lot to make the slower and more boring parts a bit more tolerable. There are also some good ideas and interesting mechanics on display.

    At the core, however, its a good idea massively let down by execution. It can be fun in spite of the flaws, but I can understand why that doesn't save it for many people. Also, the ending is one of the most anticlimactic endings I have ever seen. It's not quite "Conglatulations!!" NES era bad,but it gets close.    … Full Review »

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.… Full Review »

They are shocking. Loading times on tapes and floppy discs were quicker. Skyrim loads quicker...thats shameful.

    2) 30 fps at best...what engine are you running this 2d game on? Unreal slow 5 ? Would fair better on a commodore amiga, its the same graphics and thats 30 years ago!

    Deep shame as the game Is rather good.    … Full Review »
