Graveyard Keeper - Stranger Sins For Mac

When I first reviewed Graveyard Keeper last year, I was a big fan of the unique Stardew Valley meets Project Highrise style of the game. Since then, updates, a free DLC adding farm and alchemy automation, and a regular stream of tweaks and bug fixes has kept me coming back to it regularly. The binding of isaac download for mac. The recently released Stranger Sins DLC is another string to the bow of a game that has come on nicely since its original release.

2. Graveyard Keeper - Stranger Sins On Steam

The main bulk of the content here is a new quest-line that takes you around the village learning a bit more about the inhabitants. There's especially a lot more to learn about Gerry, which is nice as he was largely just comic relief initially, so it's good to see him become more of a character. There's also a fair few new roles for characters that previously had little to no involvement in the game. There were a few NPCs previously who just stood there like stuffed lemons with no real purpose, most of those characters now actually have something to do.

Graveyard Keeper is the most inaccurate medieval graveyard management game, out now PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch and Mobile. Nov 10, 2019 Tavern Guide - Graveyard Keeper Last updated: November 10, 2019 With the addition of the Stranger Sins DLC, you get to own a tavern and operate it with your favorite ghost Yorick, who takes the role of the bartender. Booze, beer, and wine will flow.

And it's not just NPCs, as you'll have something new to do now. Not content with being graveyard keeper, farmer, and local pastor all at the same time, our protagonist can now add barkeep to the list of his talents. It's unclear what the existing tavern owner thinks about this, especially as he was the one keeping you in coin in the early game, but nonetheless, you'll need him much less as you work your way through the DLC content.

Running a bar amounts to selling all the beer and wine that you are probably already making with the autonomous zombie farms that we got in the last expansion. If you're not already doing that, then it's worth investing in, especially as that DLC was free. If you are struggling for money, it's a great source. There are events that you can host (kind of like Stardew Valley's festivals) which allow even more sales to be made. It adds a really good source of income, although if you were already rolling in the cash after a silly amount of playtime like I was, then it's more likely it'll just be fun to get all the villagers drunk.

As before, there's a reasonable amount of grinding needed, but that's to be expected in what is essentially a crafting game. With a quirky story unravelling as you go, it's relatively pleasant as grinds go. This isn't one of those games that artificially lengthens itself with grind in lieu of content.

I was hoping that maybe we'd be able to visit the town finally with this add-on, but sadly it's still out of bounds. It is mentioned a bit in the new content so maybe it's the potential source of a future DLC? Who knows, but it's a shame there's still hinting at an area we may never actually see over a year after release.

With about eight hours of extra content, the seven pounds this content retails for is pretty good value I feel. It's not going to make anybody who didn't already like the game go out and buy it, but it adds to what was already a pretty addictive game. In short, it's the kind of thing that you'll like if you like this kind of thing.

Graveyard Keeper - Stranger Sins(Reviewed on Windows)

This game is great, with minimal or no negatives.

Building The Tavern

It's not going to make anybody who didn't already like the game go out and buy it, but it adds to what was already a pretty addictive game. In short, it's the kind of thing that you'll like if you like this kind of thing.

Run your own tavern and learn more about the history of The Village and its residents in Graveyard Keeper's first DLC.

Overview

Graveyard Keeper has a special place in my heart as the ethically-challenged and morally bankrupt sibling of Stardew Valley. Instead of escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life to start a farm, you arrive in a mysterious medieval village that quickly brings you into its community as the graveyard keeper. You're responsible for laying the dead to rest as well as preaching to the masses as you expand your business to include a number of ventures within it. Throughout your time you'll meet a number of memorable characters and add many assets to your estate, including but not limited to vineyards, farms, and alchemical laboratories. You'll travel deep into the dungeon in search of rare ingredients and may even sell some 'mystery meat' of dubious origin to the locals. Even the corpses themselves can aid in your labors if you've got an understanding of the proper method to enlist them…

A tavern to call your own… complete with advertising zombie.

The first DLC for Graveyard Keeper, Stranger Sins, is my favorite kind of DLC. It adds new content right into the body of the game itself that can be enjoyed by both veterans and new players alike. It gives you access to a new story-focused quest line as well as the ability to add a tavern, complete with its own unique features, to your list of ventures. When you top this all off with a few quality of life improvements that everyone will enjoy, you've got a solid DLC that's worth it's asking price.

A Glimpse Of The Past

The new line of quests begins when your demanding acquaintance, Gerry the Talking Skull, once again recruits you to aid him in an endeavor. This time he's seeking some cognac as the booze that you've previously provided him just isn't doing the trick anymore. One thing leads to another as your quest to acquire cognac quickly evolves into the discovery of an old archaeological machine left behind by a previous graveyard keeper. The Village has strict laws regarding the digging up of public property and, as such, there's only one obvious way to maneuver around this seemingly insurmountable obstacle: buy the land in an old, poor resident's name (to maximize benefits and discounts) and build a tavern there!

The quests that follow tend to continue the trend set by the base game. You'll be expected to chat with the villagers and perform tasks for them, usually bringing them some kind of an item, and you'll be rewarded with an artifact. These items can be used on the archaeological machine to view the past and there's quite a few of them to recover. For the most part, these are fetch quests but they offer a significant amount of character development and add depth to the lore of The Village which I enjoyed. The writing and humor were excellent in the original content and it is successfully carried over into the new quests.

There are a number of profitable ventures that you can dip your fingers into.

Getting Down To Business

Your opportunities to fine-tune your business ventures and shady dealings also get a nice boost with Stranger Sins. Your tavern makes it so that the production of food and drink is now very much worth it and may provide you with a significant income. Several features that coincide with this new business are welcome additions to the game including vineyards that can be automated (similar to the zombie farms of the base game) to grow grapes and hops as well as having the benefit to assign a zombie porter there. This porter will transport your grapes and hops to your cellar where they go straight into processing in your newly built zombie brewery and zombie winery. Once produced, the new porter station available there will transport it once more to your tavern where it will be sold for significant profits. It takes you some time to set up this production line but the rewards are worth it. My only real complaint here is that it would have been convenient to have a few more porter stations to bring in the other resources needed to create some alcoholic beverages, particularly at the apiary (honey for mead) and the farm (wheat and water for beer). All things considered, the pros far outweigh the cons, though.

Verdict

Graveyard Keeper - Stranger Sins On Steam

I very much enjoyed Graveyard Keeper and spent just under sixty hours playing the base game. This DLC was not only a great excuse to dive back in and visit my estate once more but it brought new content that improved several aspects on the business side as well as bringing in a fun, but straightforward, tavern to run. The tavern fits in seamlessly with the other systems of the game and the added features and story made this an exciting, well-rounded addition to the game. If you enjoy Graveyard Keeper already or if you're just getting into it, this DLC makes the game even better and I definitely recommend getting your hands on it. However, if you aren't a fan of Graveyard Keeper, Stranger Sins is not going to save the game for you as the gameplay and theme still feel very much the same overall.
