 Great Adventure Puzzle Game August 5, 2008
I'm not much of a shoot 'em up and slash and burn type of gamer so this game really clicked well with me. I always print out the walkthrough and use it as a guide, but you really don't need any help because if you're stumped, there is a help button that you can click to get lots of help with the puzzles. The graphics are great and the storyline believable. The ending was a bit anti-climactic, but I enjoyed it overall.

Keepsake has a vivid storyline that draws you in, and the acting to match. The result? A completely immersive experience. Soon enough you'll find yourself empathizing with the characters. Add to this brilliant scenery and an intuitive interface, and you have one of the most brilliant games of the past few years.

This game is beautiful and the puzzles are great, both in length and complexity. However, halfway through the game I grew very tired of the distance Lydia had to go from point A to point B to get anything done.
The more I played, the longer the journey became. This game is gorgeous. But you can't do anything! Up the stairs, down the hall, through the door, over the balcony, through another door, up some more steps, down some more steps....on and on! B-O-R-I-N-G! It doesn't matter how great a game looks, if it's all useless window dressing it's simply a waste of time.
For one puzzle I went straight to the solution because I did not want to spend half an hour or more moving Lydia back and forth between the two areas it required to get the puzzle completed. By the time the ending came I didn't really care anymore, I simply wanted the game to be over.
If you like watching your little game person run, run, run, and run some more than you will love this game.

This is a very long involved game with alot of puzzles and fun. It was delightfuly fun. She is a very modern girl and yet she is caught up in the magical fanticy. The artwork and the story line are unbelieveable. It feels like you are really in that castle. I kept wishing I had a room there so I could go to the acadamy too. I would recommend this game to anyone over the age of 14. It takes a lot of concentration and thinking to get through the puzzles, however, the game doew supply some help. Hope everyone likes it as much as I do. I have played it several times and I am sure I will play it again.
I loved it! January 7, 2008
I'm going to try not to repeat too much of what's already been said. I am an avid fan of adventure games. I've played all of the games which have been praised in these reviews. I would probably consider Syberia to be my favorite of all time.
Nonetheless, I loved this game! It had its annoyances (just like almost every other game I have played): the acting was sometimes pretty awful; the riddle puzzles were annoyingly nebulous; sometimes tedious moving back and forth.
The graphics blew me away. Not as photographically realistic as some other games. I was spellbound by the fairy-tale, dreamlike quality of the images. Hauntingly beautiful music that I never grew tired of. I actually found myself going back to places just so I could gawk at the scenery and/or enjoy the soundtrack.
The storyline fascinated me. I was intrigued and stayed interested until the end. I enjoyed the puzzles. Some were pretty easy and some were deviously difficult (at least for me).
I enjoyed the playful interaction with my accomplice. Warmth and humanity were added via other interactions that I appreciated.
This game entertained me for many hours and I looked forward to playing it whenever I could. Although it employed some hackneyed concepts, it never bored me or disappointed me (not even the bittersweet ending). In my opinion, it was well worth the money spent!
