The Deponia series is considered the most iconic point & click game by the German developer "Daedalic Entertainment" and I can see why. The game inherited the same crazy slapstick, humorous cartoon style of "Edna & Harvey: The Breakout (2008)" and is a much appreciated return to form. The other closest game in nature by Daedalic was "The Whispered World (2009)" which was nonsensically whimsical with lots of moon logic puzzles. While Deponia may have some moon logic puzzles, they are much better implemented and stomachable due to the quirky world and unreliable narrator/protagonist Rufus. I personally like more linear point & click games that treat each screen as a separate puzzle. Deponia lets us explore the whole town which can get tedious, hunting for hot spots and items. The possibilities are way too many and it resorts to trial & error and some moon logic. (In the sequel that part is better implemented in my opinion, even if the Floating Black Market is much larger.) Deponia and its sequel "Chaos on Deponia" were both made in the same year 2012. While Deponia has finality and doesn't really end on a cliffhanger, it still feels like the game was cut in half, much alike what they did in Syberia 1 and 2. The sequel starts off almost where Deponia left off. Overall, a very nice classic German point & click game and the best of Daedalic. If only they stuck to making games like these instead of choking on Gollum.

Yes, recommend the game, it's witty and enjoyable, BUT save sequentially so you don't have to restart if you run into a show-stopping glitch (ie. freezing magmets on the board).

I Was Not Harmed by Any Magnets During My Playthrough Deponia is a great point and click adventure with a hilarious story, charming art style, and some solid voice acting to boot. Who doesn't like being part of a great cartoon adventure? The only downside is that some puzzles are a bit mundane, while others are so flabbergastingly obscure they had me scratching my head. The post office puzzles, in particular, completely confused me. If you like point and click adventures, this is definitely a game for you. 8/10 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45905648-Gork%2527s-Game-Grind/]Check out my curated list of games

Deponia was my first game in the "point-and-click" genre, and it literally hooked me from the very first minutes. The story turned out to be engaging and at times even touching - closer to the finale I even felt a slight sadness because of some plot twists. The humor deserves special attention: it is absurd, lively, and truly memorable. Many characters look like “walking memes” with their own unique traits, and this is what largely shapes the game’s distinctive style. And of course, Rufus - a charismatic, self-confident, and inventive in his own way hero, who is genuinely interesting to watch. If we talk about the plot in more detail, in the first part it feels like this is only the beginning of a big adventure. The events take place on the junk planet Deponia - a world completely filled with waste. The main character, Rufus, dreams of escaping from here to a better life, but all his attempts fail again and again. However, this is exactly the point where everything starts to change: the story gradually goes beyond the hero’s personal ambitions and touches the fate of the entire planet. The details are revealed during the playthrough, so I’d rather not spoil the experience. Visually, the game looks very pleasant: the art is done in a classic style, and the locations are crafted with attention to detail and atmosphere. Almost each of them seems to tell its own little story, while the animations and cutscenes look lively and natural. The gameplay is typical for the genre: you need to explore locations, collect items, and use them to solve puzzles. Overall, the tasks are logical, although sometimes they can make you think - I did use hints a few times. But this is more a part of the experience of such games rather than a drawback. I would also like to highlight the musical segments: at certain moments, characters appear who literally sing about the events taking place. These songs turned out to be very atmospheric and easy to remember - familiar melodies quickly settle in your head and bring a smile every time they play again. To sum up, Deponia is a game that truly deserves attention. It left me with very warm impressions, and after completing the first part, I immediately want to start the sequel to find out how this story ends.
