Well done, too often misunderstood.
This, the fourth installment of Deponia really does something to you. Let me be straight: this is only for fans and the series should be played from first to third in german language (!) and if you like the games then get this - no matter if you liked the ending or not, get this fourth one if you like and love the characters. Switch to english language once, right before you enter the love tunnel - the singer is awesome. Spoilers ahead: Rufus is a great 'antihero' (thats the term). His heroism in Deponia 3 leads to a lot of sad fans who are way too much in love with the pretty dull concept of 'Holywood Endings' and I am glad we got a real ending to the Deponia 1-3 series. But why Deponia 4 - besides the financial aspect of a company having struck a hit with its series? Well, as I mentioned there was a lot of complaining about the ending of the third part and Daedalic/Poki really did something awesome here: they are playing with the gamer's emotions towards the series and the characters! How do they do that? Well, they throw you right back before Deponia 1 even starts and let you mess it all up with a time mashine - thanks, McChronical. It is a great journey, letting you explore more of the characters, but it never hits that development as it did in the first three parts, and rightly so! They will let you take Rufus and Goal on a crazy ride, but other than that there are not that many helpers around and they dont build up a crew. And they will also show you that without all the advantures Rufus and Goal had in Deponia 1-3 they would never have fallen in love - their romance doesnt work otherwise. There is only one thing that Poki concedes to the fans: in the end Goal has the memory of everything that happend in the time loop and she gets the chance to let go off Rufus, to say goodbye. She mentions this in the outro that by doing this she regained hope that she had lost before - that is a little happy ending for Goal and I like this subtle, but great twist.
Hilft dir das weiter?
