The most inaccurate medieval cemetery sim is back! Restore The Town, manage the graveyard, automate production, lead your undead army into battle and turn the zombie problem into a thriving business! Graveyard Keeper 2 is the grotesque sequel that's deeper than six feet, and more unhinged than ever!

The Real Review

Graveyard Keeper II is a pretty solid, if divisive, sequel from Lazy Bear Games that most people digging into its macabre cemetery management are enjoying. The core gameplay loop is decent, with strong voice acting and good graphics that fit the grotesque tone, and it's a decent Steam Deck experience. The big problems are performance and difficulty, which are dragging the score down hard, with many reporting crashes and a punishing grind. The new factory and automation systems, especially involving zombies, are getting slammed for being tedious and unfun, overshadowing the fun of building your undead empire.
