Ceville

General Thoughts/Overview: This game is well worth playing, but I warn you before we even begin that it has serious, SERIOUS issues you should go in prepared for, or it’ll drive you halfway to madness. Ceville is a modernish 3D point and click adventure. Clearly inspired by the old days in terms of humour, it puts you in the boots of the titular deposed tyrant as you puzzle your way to revenge. In terms of the art,...

You will spend 50% of the time watching loading screens and the game will crash every 20 min, but it's worth it, the story is stupid and funny enough to keep you engaged, characters are nice and original, the voice acting it's great, the graphics are decent for it's age and the best thing it's the price

This game is a buggy mess with ridiculously shallow humour and downright idiotic puzzles. I experienced about 15 crashes in 3 hours of gameplay, which would not even be fine, if the loading times were not as obnoxiously long. That, again, wouldn't be as frustrating without the game softlocking from being stuck in an animation. To top it off, the interaction feels extremely sluggish - animations are very slow, you...

In Ceville, you play a former tyrant trying to get his throne back. This point-and-click adventure flips the usual hero story completely.

I found myself laughing at Ceville's conversations with characters like the stuck-up paladin Ambrosius and the clever orphan Lilly. The game...

I have no idea how this ended up in my library, but I assume it was a freebie. This is a fun little fantasy point and click; where you switch between 3 characters. It followed the Monkey Island "No dead ends / no death" formula as most games today, and seemed inspired by Book of Unwritten Tales. The main twist is that the primary character is an evil tyrant trying to get back his kingdom instead of a Hero. The...

Well, at most of the part, this is an Adventure game done right. Up to a point that it gives the feel of the old Monkey Island itself, well, not that great but something close. BUT! There's quite a lot of game breaking bugs that require the players to solve themselves before they can continue playing. That's the main reason for the thumbs down here. If you are tech savvy and knows your way around game bugs, this is...
