After reporting a few quite positive reviews for Keepsake, this one bounces the other way with Worthplaying only scoring 5.5/10:There used to be a time when all adventure games were more or less like this: set in far off fantasy worlds with themes of wizardry, dragons, mages guilds, and an ever-lingering sense of journey. It seems that as we grew up, the genre did too, adopting darker themes of crime and murder, mystery and history. Keepsake would appear to aim for our nostalgic sweet spot, re-invoking those heady days of yesteryear and relying on our imaginations to be just as good as they were at filling in the gaps. While it may inspire children and young teenagers, Keepsake's return to tradition is not likely to succeed in bringing back memories for a generation of gamers who have long since moved on. |
