One of my favorite adventure games from the last few years due to its fairly quirky nature and its original characters. It also has a very beautiful and charming art style and great music and voice acting to go along with it. The humor is great...most of the time, and the puzzles make sense most of the time but every now and again it goes full on Monkey Island-logic, and you need to think way outside the box to progress.

The game has a lot of missable achievements so would recommend having either a guide handy or use saves very frequently to avoid more playthroughs then necessary. It also has an achievement for beating the game in its alternate mode that you unlock by beating the game: Droggeljug mode. This will replace all written and voiced dialog with the word Droggeljug along with all the info boxes. While funny for the first few minutes it gets really annoying, and you want to uppercut a kitten.

Time to 100%: 6-8 hours

If you love story/point and click games. This HAS to be in your collection, the entire trilogy <3

Deponia is an adventure game that's a bit difficult to describe. It has great art, decent writing, some very creative characters, and a pretty interesting story. The writing and voice acting definitely isn't the best I've seen, but it gets the job done. The game has a very clean interface, letting you access your inventory with the mouse wheel and providing interact and inspect functions on different mouse buttons. It's also significantly longer than most adventure games I've played as my playthrough clocked in at around 10 hours.

The one off-putting thing about the game is that you play as an idiot who frequently causes havok around town and everybody hates. It's a really odd position to be in though the character is quite interesting and is responsible for most of the humor in the game.

The puzzles can get overwhelming at points with tons of items piling up in your inventory with little clue about how to use them though the game keeps it mostly reasonable.

I did run into a very frequent bug where the dialog options window was misaligned, sometimes dropping options off the bottom of the screen, but it never impeded the game. There were also one or two occasions where certain subtitles were displayed in German.

Deponia is definitely a good game and stands by itself, though it is designed as a trilogy and buying all three games can be a bit of an investment for adventure games. If you want good adventure games though, it's probably worth the price.

So, I bought this game durring a sale and thought to myself: "Oh, this will just be a fun little game to pass the time with, I don't need all three." I WAS WRONG! This game is truly fabulous and has many briliant puzzles to solve. It trains your mind to observe your surroundings to make the most of what you have and to think outside the box. Along with cleverly writen diolouge and an amazing story line, all I can say is: buy this game! It is worth it.

Writing this after beating the game in offline mode.

I found the aesthetics and mechanics of the game to be pretty good. The art and animations are nice, the setting is pretty interesting and the voice acting is decent.

The puzzles can get on the cryptic side, but I was able to get through all but one of them without looking at a hint. Somebody that is new to, or doesn't really like point-and-click games might have some trouble with them though.

Now for the reasons I don't recommend the game.

First of all, the protagonist is pretty unlikeable. At first his behavior seems like it's being played up for laughs, or that it's a set up for future character development. Eventually you'll realize that nope, He's just a terrible person, and it's not funny.

This is a big problem when often the protagonist is the driving force behind the player getting past puzzles and finishing the game. Maybe this will change in the sequels.

Secondly, this game is pretty unpleasant throughout. There is a lot of sexism, mean-spirited jokes and uncomfortable implications throughout the game, all seemingly in an effort to make the player laugh.

Some people might think I'm being oversensitive about this, but I'm absolutely not. It is there and it is blatant. The fact that none of these jokes are even clever or funny makes it that much worse.

Despite the game being decent art/mechanics wise, I really can't recommend this.

tl;dr

Aivan mahtavasti toteutettu point 'n' click peli, sisältäen klassiset "kokeile kaikkea kaikkeen" tilanteet sekä "Minne vittuun mun pitäisi mennä" ajatukset, jotka kuitenkin saa lopulta ratkottua ja tuntea itsensä fiksuksi. Korkeatasoiset grafiikat, hyvä ääninäyttely ja innovatiivinen hiiren rullan käyttö tavaratilan aukaisuun ovat käsittämättömän mahtavia! Siinä missä telltale lähti tekemään klassikoita 3D ympäristöön niin Deponia jatkaa vanhalla kunnon polulla.
