Hugely overrated
The following review applies to both the first and the second Deponia game. The third one I have not played. I find this game to be hugely overrated, but then again it seems to be a "love it or hate it" case. The good: The 2D graphics are quite beautiful, although cheaply animated. Some of the puzzles are good, some are rather obtuse. The bad: The main character is an asshole. This is obviously meant to be funny - it's not. It's just annoying. The humour in general is never funny in the slightest. And this is not a translation issue: I played it in its original German, which is my native language. The humour is just inane and offensive, never funny - very German in that regard, unfortunately. The story is servicable at best, mostly cliché and unoriginal, as are the characters. Conversations drag on too long and (see above) are meant to be funny, but instead are just terribly boring. Some of the puzzles are rather obtuse. Moreover, I disliked the open structure of the game in the beginning. I know many people like this, but I just found this to be ovewhelming and boring: Too many places to examine and too many boring conversations to have at once. The only reason I bought and suffered through the second Deponia game is that I was brainwashed by the critical acclaim (at least in the German gaming press).
Hilft dir das weiter?
