Deponia

byDaedalic Entertainment2012

Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique game world in the style of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening. From Kuvaq, an improvised village built inside a giant trash heap, to the swimm...

Professional reviews from gaming critics

So the game looks absolutely gorgeous. Everything is beautifully drawn and the characters animate well enough. I’d say my only complaints are that things you can interact with are completely blended into the environment due to the art style and that the animations could use a few more frames. Thankfully the first issue is alleviated by pressing the space bar to show an icon on any objects you can interact with. The voice acting has the right amount of charm to it as does the music.

Deponia may well be set in a rubbish heap, but it’s a game that’ll never end up there. With lovably odd characters, a fantastic art design, and a really engaging style of gameplay, Deponia shows what a modern point and click game should be. Despite a steep incline in difficulty that may catch a few players off guard, Deponia’s highlight is its character design and writing, and you can expect to be entertained throughout.

A fun and charming point and click adventure. ITs charming characters and great writing bring its characters to life. The puzzles can be challenging but fell rewarding when it's all said and done.It's just a shame my trip to Deponia didn’t last longer.

Nintendo Switch owners are getting yet another port. Introducing Deponia, a beloved point-and-click adventure that PC gamers have been enjoying for almost a decade. Featuring a fully voiced cast of wacky characters, beautifully hand-drawn visuals, and challenging puzzles. If you’re itching for a humorous journey that’ll make you think – Deponia might be for you.

Deponia’s saved from being worse than Yesterday by at least having a simple understandable storyline and by not taking itself too seriously, but that’s not saying much. Next time though Daedalic, hire yourselves some better writers (in both German and English), try not to make your main character so utterly hateful, and make your puzzles have some recognisable objective or logic to them. Alternatively, just stop creating adventure games that make me drop to my knees and beg for them to en...
