Graveyard Keeper 2 launched on 22 September across PC and consoles. You are the Grand Inquisitor now, and the undead are your workforce.
Right, if you lost a few hundred hours to the first one (and a lot of people did), you already know the pitch. Run a medieval graveyard, cut corners, turn a profit. Morally questionable, very satisfying.
The sequel from Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild goes bigger. According to the Steam page, you rebuild a whole town, automate production with zombie labour, and lead your undead army into battle against a full-blown zombie apocalypse. Farming, fishing, livestock and trading are all still in there too.
Good news if you played the updated demo: tinyBuild says your progress carries over into the full game. People clearly want this one, with more than 500,000 wishlists before launch.
PC players, it is not a heavy ask. Minimum is a GTX 1650 and 6 GB of RAM, and it only needs 4 GB of storage.
