A well crafted game with a good sense of humor, excellent (German) voice acting and nifty puzzle design. Despite its weak presentation and insignificant story Ceville stands out as one of the better traditional adventure games in years.

Despite a few awkward moments and the scarcity of thigh-slapping comedy, Ceville is nevertheless one of the better recent comic adventures, with excellent cartoony graphics and delightful music combining with the irreverent humor to add much to the whimsical nature of the game.

Ceville is an adventure which had high goals and for the most part, it achieved them.

It is truly a masterpiece. The nostalgic graphics, the plot and the characters... It is very worth it.

Ehhh, this was alright. The graphics, characters, much of the dialogue, click to skip, and spacebar to show everything were certainly highlights. Unfortunately the pacing of the story was terrible. Some areas were just plain boring while others dragged on forever. When the game got things right though it really was a joy and act 1 was my favorite by far. As for the puzzles, some were simple while others made no sense at all. I also had an issue with act 2 randomly crashing all the time.

Ceville is a fun, high-quality PC adventure with the additional advantage of being well-acted, well-localized and hilarious. Fans of the point-and-click shouldn't miss it.

Ceville isn't a masterpiece, but worth a recommendation for genre fans - despite technical flaws and too simple puzzles.

Despite initial reservations, Ceville charmed me more than I usually like to admit. It is the obvious result of a team who truly love what they are doing and who are determined to make new and interesting gaming content for us. The witty and eloquent writing style and the consistently top-notch humour turn this little title into a gaming gem.

The best part of this adventure is the characters, with Ceville, Ambrosius, the undead pirate and the lisping demon all possessing the potential for further development. I would welcome them back in a slightly more humourus and random comedic sequel.

It's not a game to rush out right now and buy, but you can definitely do worse. [July 2009, p.79]

A very entertaining adventure à la Monkey Island is approaching you. Because of the nice graphics and lots of good humor this game makes a lot of fun.

There is a shortage of good and original adventure games on the market. Unfortunately, Ceville will not make it to the first league – it is overall average in jokes, graphics and lifespan. [Apr 2009]
