“You can either play the game correctly or just kill everyone and finish the game in a couple minutes. Love that. And the Monty Python humor? Amazing. 10/10”

“Absolutely hilarious. A [i]must[/i] play if you're a fan of point-n-click adventure, art history, and absurdist humour. No friction, just all fun, and the perfect length (or only as long as you want it to be). This game…”

“The Procession to Calvary has one of a kind, touching and beautiful story. Game has been heavily influenced by Monty Python. So, characters have edge and passion accordingly. Game is made in style of 80's point and…”

“It's a cute gimmick for the first few scenes, then it gets boring fast, sorry. Really wanted to like this, as a fellow Terry Gilliam fan, but gameplay just extremely basic and there's not enough to keep me interested…”

“The comedy is either going to stick the landing rather immediately for you, or it won't. It did not for me.”

“A bit short and 1 or 2 puzzles where not that well designed. Missing a nice hint system. but overall i like the humor and art direction. Worth it if you like dark humor and p&c.”

“Funny little historical points and click game. You'll love it or hate it.”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“It was fun, but, tbh, I liked first one better. Yes, more save slots is a significant improvement. And yes, you can pet the kitty (but where is the dog?)... And it's still the same kind of humor and pretty much the same gameplay as before. My only complaint - a bit too much gore…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“It's nice to see that Monty Python still lives on in this bizarre and terribly funny point-and-click adventure. Terry would be proud.”
