A visual feast that never lets go: 93 positive mentions out of 96 for the graphics. Yet the engine stumbles under the weight, with 20 negative mentions out of 21 for performance.
What it's about: Créé par Lee Petty et Double Fine Productions, Keeper présente le récit silencieux d'un phare laissé à l'abandon qui s'éveille de son long sommeil. Après avoir fait la rencontre d'un oiseau marin mystique, le phare se lance dans un voyage inattendu à travers des mondes qui dépassent l'entendement.

« Easily one of the most impressive visual experiences in all of videogames. Ever. If you think the trailer goes places... just wait till you see the second half of the game. This is so special. »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played211« Great little short experience, definitely more on the artsy side. BOY OH BOY WOULD I LOVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAMERA DIRECTLY, THOUGH. »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played1111« This could be a horror, stealth and survivor game. But a drunken lighthouse who is trying to be sober and is suffering from withdrawals, along with a telepathic relationship with a prehistoric birb, in an apocalyptic world is waaaay better. »👍 anonymous review · 8 h played2« Un jeu absolument MAGNIFIQUE , j'ai énormément aimé ce jeu! Quelle belle surprise!!!!!! Très beau, très touchant , visuellement renversant et un gameplay qui sait se renouveler rapidement sans être garoché! Non vraiment , une pépite! »👍 anonymous review · 6 h played« Absolument sublime et touchant.

« The art work and the Doubel Fine name cought my attention. However, didn't expect it to be a childrens game. If you're looking for a relaxing walking sim, there are plenty of options that tick the box with the fraction of the price. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played1« File this one under 'not for me' - the art direction is gorgeous, but this walking simulator is light on both interaction and storytelling, and I found myself wanting to rush past its beautiful vistas to hunt for something more engaging. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Don't waste your money, walking simulator, trash »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« A game with no story, no puzzles, and not even a goal. »👎 anonymous review · 7 h played« Walking simulator. Boring. Refunded. The artistic flourish is appreciated, but if the player can't stay awake while 'playing' the game, then what's the point? Also somewhat poor UE5 performance. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Belle balade avec une DA sublime, du gameplay qui se réinvente au fil de l'aventure. Encore une belle proposition de Double Fine! A noter peut convenir à de jeunes enfants. »👍 anonymous review · 5 h played
