I can't remember laughing so much during a game in such short a time frame. Amazing game, 10/10.
The negatives first, there's only one point and it's very humor subjective: - The humor can be pretty vulgar and edgy at times, and there are occasional gory moments that might not be for everyone. The meh: - The game doesn't always communicate objectives clearly. Most puzzles and progression points make sense, but there were one two moments where I wandered around aimlessly trying to figure out what the game wanted from me. The positives: - The Procession to Calvary fully embraces being ridiculous, and that's a huge part of its charm. It's a very unserious game that clearly knows exactly what it wants to be. - The visual presentation is incredibly unique. The use of classical artwork for the game's graphics gives it an identity. - The soundtrack is excellent. The musical pieces fit the scenes surprisingly well and add a lot to the overall atmosphere. - Puzzle solutions are usually logical enough that progression feels satisfying once you figure things out. - The short runtime works in the game's favor. It delivers its jokes and ideas without overstaying its welcome. It could be because I played multiple long games lately, but a short game really helps its favor here for me. As a whole, I very much enjoyed my time with The Procession to Calvary. It's a small, weird, and genuinely funny (but of course, niche humor) adventure game with one of the most distinctive art styles. If you're into Monty Python-style humor, point-and-click adventures, and games that aren't afraid to be completely ridiculous, it's well worth a look.
Definitely a unique art style with a banging soundtrack and on top of that plenty of laughs. It’s worth every penny.
