A brand-new game called Graveyard Keeper 2, which has frequently been compared to Stardew Valley, has finally launched on multiple platforms, earning incredibly positive reviews across most of them. Stardew Valley fans are no strangers to games being described as a "replacement" for ConcernedApe's popular farming sim. But Graveyard Keeper 2 might be the closest any indie game has come to deserving that title in recent months, with its user reviews being phenomenal.

Graveyard Keeper puts a dark twist on Stardew Valley's bubbly gameplay by making cemetery management its core mechanic. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic town riddled with zombies, where the protagonist is tasked with clearing dead bodies and restoring the city. But one reason its sequel has received so much attention is that the game goes beyond that premise, essentially becoming one of those games in which players need to manage an entire life.

Gamers who have craved a new indie that is like Stardew Valley with a touch of defense strategy will want to check out this Steam gem.

On September 24, roughly 48 hours after Graveyard Keeper 2 's release , the game had an average user score of 4 out of 5 on consoles and a "Very Positive" rating on Steam. Things are not much different when it comes to critics' reviews, with the latest data from review aggregator OpenCritic showing that Graveyard Keeper 2 has an average top critic score of 83 out of 100. Additionally, the game has reached an impressive milestone in terms of player count, with SteamDB data showing that it reached nearly 55,000 concurrent players shortly after launch , and that's only on one platform.
