Ceville

Ceville was one of the games that helped bring back the point and click adventure genre. Its a really fun game, with lots of dark humor. There is also lots of references to other games and fairy tales and such throughout the game. Like at the beginning of the game where Ceville has to judge whether to punish the wolf or the three piglets, because they are suing each other. I remember this game had problems running a bit slowly after Windows XP. Might have just been Vista that had a problem, but whether it was updated or patched, it runs with no problems in Windows 10 on my computer. This might not be one of the top adventure games of all times, but I would certainly rate it above mediocre. It has a lot in Common with Simon the Sorcerer 4 I would say, and I think I prefer Ceville. With the wave of new adventure games we see now, I could mention many that are not very good compared to this game. I feel it has a nice mix of good puzzles and good humor. If it was a 10 point rating system it would probably get 9 instead of 10, so in this case 4½ instead of 5, but I would say it has earned its 4 stars and then some.

Twisted fairy tales, good Puzzle design and very humorous throughout the Game...the cynical Mainprotagonist always reminded me of playing Malcolm in Kyrandia 3...anyway, here´s a Link to a (german) Review that nails this Game: http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/ceville/test/ceville,44443,1953728.html

In regards to the German version: Story: 4/5 Worldbuilding: 3/5 Art Design: 4/5 Graphics: 4/5 Sound: 3/5 Gameplay: 3/5

The game itself is not a bad adventure, characters are decent and the story is kinda quirky, However the experience stops there as the game is highly unstable, it may actually very well be the most unstable game I have ever played. It crashes ALOT, like 1/3 times you enter a new area (and there is always a loading screen when entering a new area on the map where is where it does freeze). The game either crashes, or freezes causing you a full restart as you cannot reach task manager or right-click the game in the taskbar to close it, it just stays frozen fullscreen. The game is not playable at all in its current condition.
