Just Adventure

Really, this is a cleverly designed and entertaining game.

It’s not for everyone; if the idea of a tribute to hard-as-nails adventuring turns you off, then walk away.

Adventure Gamers

There are those who will dismiss Gobliiins 4 as a mere puzzle game, but unless you play adventures only for their stories, I can safely say that this game is worth the time of any point-and-click adventurer.

Boomtown

Sure, it's fairly hideous in comparison to most of the multitude of games released recently, the narrative is weak and it has some of most cringe-worthy sound I've ever encountered, but it poses a solid, structured set of challenging puzzles that are light enough as to not timelessly absorb the player, but engaging enough to keep you coming back.

GameStar

The series continues after 15 years and it's true to it's predecessors. That's good and bad at the same time. It's a colorful slapstick adventure, but today a game like this needs a real story, characters and some more functions. But it's still very funny and original.

Absolute Games

Not giving a damn about sponsors and marketing, Pierre Gilhodes made Gobliiins 4 almost single-handedly. A classy, but ill-advised deed, because there was no one to tell him that horrible-looking 3D scares people even faster than pixelized sprites. That autosave-only policy is an insult to PC gamers. That even a puzzle game should have a coherent story.

Gobliiins 4 is a nice puzzle adventure that can't catch up to its predecessors because of a weak story and lack of humor, but can entertain for a few hours.

The granddaddy of point 'n' clicker Zack & Wiki makes a surprising and largely successful return.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Sequel to the famous trilogy changed into a kid’s entertainment game with uncomplicated logical puzzles. The sound and graphics departments should be fired anyways. [May 2009]

Old 2D-graphics, pointless riddles, a cruel sound, … I’m not sure that this title will have many fans in the future.

Gobliiins 4 has a lot of character, it just doesn’t have enough depth.

PC Zone UK

If you must have some Gobliiins action, just get the originals. This one should never have made it into the public domain. [July 2009, p.77]

PC Gamer UK

Deliberately obtuse is just frustrating. [July 2009, p.76]
