Christopher Byrd, The New York Times

☆☆☆☆☆‍ ‍“A truly magical jaunt through one of the most beautiful video game worlds ever made”

Matt Wales, Eurogamer

9/10 “Blending a kaleidoscopic art style with nostalgic adventure game mechanics, Keeper hides an emotional story underneath all of its visual pizzazz, delivering a brain-tickling odyssey that’s stuck with me far beyond the credits.”

Sarah Thwaites, IGN

9/10 “Keeper is Double Fine at its most confident: a visual feast, a tone poem, an exploration of movement mechanics, a fable about the world and what we owe to it.”

Steve Watts, Gamespot

☆☆☆☆☆ “Keeper is like taking all the best psychedelics in the world all at once, and it's pure artistry”

Zachary Boddy, Windows Central

☆☆☆☆☆ “With Keeper, Double Fine has created a masterpiece. A game that seeks not to shine through performance, but through poetry. It cannot be explained: it must be lived, felt, and treasured. It is a bizarre, moving, and profoundly human experience despite its total lack of words. And above all, it is a reminder that even lighthouses sometimes need guidance.”

Auk, Gamatomic

“It really feels like a Double Fine dark ride in the most complimentary way”

Wesley LeBlanc, Game Informer

“In an industry obsessed with sequels, remakes, and 'proven formulas', DoubleFine is out here saying - What if we made something completely bonkers instead?”

Harmony Daniels, Yard Barker

“One of the most wonderfully bizarre games I've ever played – a stunning slice of magic”

Same Loveridge, Gamesradar

90 “...an entire experience that feels like exploring a surrealist painting: a trip through a hazy alien-looking planet that glows with pinks and greens and oranges, starring a sentient lighthouse with spider legs. Keeper is an adventure nobody else could make, and one of Double Fine's best.”

Tyler Colp, PC Gamer

☆☆☆☆☆ “Keeper is an amazing puzzle-fuelled adventure with a simple yet heartfelt story to tell, and it pulls out all the stops doing so. In every sense, Keeper is an artistic achievement.”

Aaron Potter, The Daily Mirror

☆☆☆☆☆ “Keeper is Double Fine at its absolute best; a breathtaking, wordless journey that proves emotion and artistry can speak louder than dialogue.”

James Clarkson, The Outer Haven

100 “Whether intentionally or not, Keeper feels like a quiet rebuke to the current games industry and its devaluing of human craft. A towering testament to the joyous, creative and novel search for meaning that games can elicit with a subtle focus on the hands that craft such worlds.”

Cass Barkman, Checkpoint Gaming

☆☆☆☆☆ “Keeper plays like a dream come true. The scenario, featuring a walking lighthouse that embarks on a fantastic journey with a bird, is wonderfully fresh. Add to that a pinch of friendship and melancholy, and you have a feast that will keep me satisfied for a long time to come.”

Philipp Rüegg, Digitec Magazine

10/10 “Keeper from Double Fine is a visually stunning and deeply atmospheric journey about companionship and renewal in a ruined world. Its ever-changing puzzles, intuitive design, and heartfelt tone create a unique experience that's as touching as it is imaginative.”

Matúš Štrba, Sector.sk

9/10 “Keeper takes a straightforward puzzle-based walking sim and elevates it tenfold with an unbelievable level of interactive storytelling.”

Jordan Biordi, CGM

9/10 “Keeper is a wonder, a work that speaks to us of permanence and mutability, of the need to be with loved ones and to commit ourselves to their well-being; a sequence of moments that reach the soul and that shows itself as a balm for the scars and wounds of day to day in the real world.”

Rafa Del Río, IGN Spain

9/10 “a fantastic wordless journey accompanied by a beautiful art style that delivers a short, yet excellent narrative that will stick around in your mind for a very long time.”

Julio La Pine, The Nerd Stash

Keeper is a small yet grand work of video game poetry. Double Fine once again manages to surprise with an intensely emotional artistic vision that speaks through light, gestures, and silence. It’s a journey that leaves a deep mark, capable of making you reflect without ever raising its voice
