Oct 23, 2025The adventure of an anthropomorphic lighthouse and transmogrifying bird left me happily unmoored, struggling at times to digest what I saw happening onscreen: the bizarre creatures, botanical puzzles, whimsical painterly shapes and riotous colors.

Oct 17, 2025Keeper is one of those rare birds that the less you know about it, the better. It's a stunning, bizarre, and totally unanticipated game that isn't afraid to subvert your expectations at every turn. It's so good I wish I could wipe my memory and play it again.

Nov 3, 2025A touching tale of friendship and the power of light over dark that is as spellbinding as it is jaw dropping.

Oct 17, 2025Keeper is a tough game to score, and I think certain aspects deserve a 7/10 and others deserve an 8/10. I'm going with the latter because, taken as a whole, Keeper is a very charming, well-designed and memorable game with stunning visuals, and it's clearly had a lot of love poured into it by the development team. Some people will inevitibly be turned off by its slow and subtle story, as well as its overall lack of challenge and a first half that isn't as good as the second half, but I still think it deserves to be classed as a "Great" game, and it's well worth a download on Xbox Game Pass for sure.

Oct 17, 2025Keeper is a gentle, contemplative journey that may start slow but soon unfolds into something deeply moving. It’s a game that embraces simplicity, weaving emotion through its world, puzzles, and breathtaking artistry. While a few aspects could shine brighter, what it delivers is far more lasting: a meditative experience that rewards curiosity, reflection, and heart. It’s a strange, beautiful adventure about connection and metamorphosis.

Nov 10, 2025While the puzzles in Keeper never properly challenge, you’re won over by the easy pace and the sheer oddity of the visuals and story.

Oct 17, 2025Keeper speaks clearest through its tremendous images, while billing itself as a “story told without words”. But the latter isn’t quite right. At various points, button prompts flash up on screen: for example, press X to “peck”. In spelling out exactly what the player should be doing, the world’s ambiguity is diminished.
