Sept. 2025
Fun point and click adventure game about saving the world from climate change. It can be a little buggy with the animations but overall good story, and medium level puzzles to solve. Pros: Overly dramatic or monotonous voice acting Over the top plot Out drinking the guard Cons: Fay is probably a robot over the top resentful child

I finally beat this game. Man! After 9 years... Let me tell you about the experience. First off, I purchased this game as part of a "Deponia is the best thing I've ever played gimme more of that Daedalic Entertainment!". So, I started looking for all the quests from Daedalic that Steam could afford me. One of these quests happened to be "A New Beginning: Final Cut". Playing this game as a student in "college" (you could say) left... a pretty bad taste in my mouth: frustrating hard illogical puzzles, boring comic style, atrocious voice acting and just uninteresting setting about ecological problems. Meh, so boring... I thought back at the time. Playing this game now, as an adult, who knows about the ecology much more, who can appreciate the different gimmicks of a given Point & Click game -- now I liked the game. Maybe I'm biased because it took me a lot of time to finish the game. But I have to commend the quest for the puzzles that can be beaten without a walkthrough. If you go looking into Negative Reviews, a lot of them point to crazy puzzles -- to me, none of them were. Yeah, there was a couple of times that I was beating my head against the wall, but... I prevailed! And during that trial & error what I liked the most is that a lot of combinations between items and other objects or even people -- produce different, sometimes funny, sometimes just informative comments from the characters. So if you're reading this and you're stuck in the game -- keep on thinking, keep on trying. You can do this. As for the characters, I liked the man named Bent Svensson. He's a retired cynical scientist that is just tired. And I can get that. A lot of his comments and sarcasms sit just right with me. So there's that. Another protagonist -- a girl named Fay -- I think she's supposed to sometimes frustrate the player. Anyway, I did not pay a lot of attention to her not-so-good voice acting (English) and it did not bother me. What I liked the most about the game overall is the plot. The execution of it. Maybe I'm not so into the different cliches etc., but I was intrigued by the plot until the end and when the game surprised me -- I was surprised indeed. So thank you, Daedalic, for this capturing experience. Don't know exactly how -- but the game hooked me and now I like it. Honestly, this game sits at above 70% recommended vs 30% not recommended, but I thought I give it a thumbs up anyway. I'm proud of beating it without a walkthrough.

Classic point and click with some time travel and humor. Few nice twists in the plot too! My only real gripe is some parts of the game are missing english text, but it was only in a few spots, not a deal breaker at all!

Yeah, the story is not very convincing or scientifically sound, but besides that it's a solid P&C adventure. The puzzles are rather good, in my opinion. Also I had no problems running the game on a Win11 PC.

A New Beginning is a great game. Developed by Daedalic when they made quality games versus the junk like Gollum.
