They made it better, they made it worse
This is a direct sequel to the first Deponia and all the problems plaguing the first one are still relevant here. The devs seem to have tried to address some of it, but I think with no success overall. The graphics is as great as it was, and it appears with much less glitches this time, so that's the good part. The protagonist, and frankly speaking most of the characters, are still unbearable,e xcept this time instead of banking on Rufus'es douchery they tried to emphasize his idiocity. Which makes it slightly better, but he's still insufferable. I found myself skipping dialogs on multiple occasions just because I couldn't stand it anymore. There are a some good jokes but those a few and far between. I think I laughed three or four times, which is still more than the first game. The rest of it is just as offensive, sexist, stupid and sick as it used to be. And again with the animal cruelty. The puzzles have got more variety to them, there are new purely mechanical puzzles, a good addition to the game. The game world became bigger and more open-ended too. But herein lies the problem - I think the devs failed to manage the increased scale, so the puzzles involve much more moon logic now. Some of them involve absolutely redundant steps - you can see the solution clearly, but the game logic gives you additional hoops to jump trough before you can do the thing for no apparent reason. And thanks to the openendedness sometimes you'll be solving puzzles not even knowing why, because you haven't seen the appripriate location/character yet. The music got worse. Just worse. Some of it is reused old tunes, the new scores are uninspiring and dull. Overall it's the same Deponia, but it feels worse this time. Same pleasant graphic and art, same sick "humor" (no, it's not dark or edgy or borderline, correctness aside it's just plain stupid and unfun). Music and puzzles are the parts that gave at least some appeal to the previous installment, and those got worse.
Hilft dir das weiter?
