Did you enjoy Double Fine’s new atmospheric puzzle adventure?
One of the most intriguing Xbox releases in October was Double Fine’s new indie puzzle adventure known as Keeper, which ultimately had little advertising in the lead-up to release and for good reason – it has a couple of surprises in it!
We’ve tried to avoid talking about those surprises and will continue to do so, but this still seems like a good time to gather some review scores from the Pure Xbox community in the hope you’ve had a chance to reach its conclusion.
For what it’s worth, I personally gave Keeper a “Great” 8/10 in our Pure Xbox review and had the following to say:
“Keeper 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.”
I definitely had the feeling that some people would bounce off Keeper very quickly, whereas others would find it to be a really charming and memorable adventure, and it seems that’s been the case – there are plenty of mixed impressions out there across social media and the Xbox Store.
But what about here at Pure Xbox? We’re going to throw a poll down below so you can give us your review score (regardless of how much you’ve played), and please do feel free to elaborate in the comments but without spoilers.
What did you pick for the poll? Let us know down in the comments section below.
