Video Game Reviews of Keepsake
Customer Review: I want my money back.
Summary: 3 Stars
I haven't even finished playing the game and I felt compelled to write a review. Pretty much everything everybody else has said about the game is true. Good graphics during static scenes, horrible during cuts. Insanely bad acting, it reminds me a little of Scooby Doo (the cartoon). Fairly interesting puzzles, but way too tedious for my liking.
Here are two things that I can't believe nobody's brought up. The camera angles are crazy and sometimes you can't figure out where you are or which way you came from. But at least they're consistent from scene to scene. The worse part for me is there's no way to jump from one place to another. And this academy is HUGE. It doesn't encourage exploration when you spend five minutes getting from one place to another, only to find out there's nothing there (or that you went to the wrong place). I'm spending more time moving from location to location and listening to Lydia and Zak talk than I am solving puzzles and that's just not fun. The last puzzle I came across (which prompted me to exit the game and write the review) requires me to go keep running back and forth between two points in the academy that are furthest from each other about six times until I complete the puzzle. It's just not worth it for me.
I'm really disappointed in this game. If I hadn't gotten it as a gift, I'd ask for my money back.
Customer Review: Surprisingly good game!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to try this game because it was listed as a similar game that customers purchased with other games that I really like. I am a fan of Longest Journey, Syberia, Gabriel Knight, Broken Sword, etc. etc. I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I started Keepsake, but I was looking to kill time because I love PC games. From the very start, I was swept into the story, the setting, the characters (I LOVE it when there is a fun mascot sharing your adventures!). The voice-overs and some graphics really are pretty unrefined, but that also makes the game more endearing. These factors could be the reasons this game is not listed way up there with some of the other titles I mention. I have added it to my list of favorite games, and I play games ALOT!Customer Review: Not worth the money.
Summary: 2 Stars
For this day and age, this game has extremely cheesey graphics and voiceovers. I can't believe how goofy the voiceovers sound. They sure didn't spend a lot on the actors.
Gameplay is fairly easy, which is a plus, but if you aren't enjoying what you see, who cares?
Customer Review: Keepsake
Summary: 4 Stars
Great game lasts a long time , challanging puzzles some easy some hard. A lot of running around if you don't pay attention and save, save,save it also helps to take some notes.
Overall the best game I've played recently.
Customer Review: The good and the bad, mostly bad.
Summary: 2 Stars
It's got some occasionally interesting puzzles, but the lame story and irritating characters kill whatever appeal Keepsake might have had.
The Good: Unique and challenging puzzles; handy hint system helps keep the game moving.
The Bad: Some of the worst voice acting you will ever hear; blurry, low-res backgrounds; dull characters and an uninteresting story.
