Reminiscent of the Curse of Monkey Island

The graphics and the overall tone of the game is quite cartoonish are very pleasing, on the same verve of the Curse of Monkey Island. The puzzles are interesting and sometimes very challenging (you can skip them, by the way), the story is enjoyable but nothing spepcial. The are some glithces from time to time, but they don't affect the playability at all. I personally hated the guy singing during the intermissions, I guess it's part of a joke but I don't get it. It's just annoying. Overall, a well made game, still not at the same level as other classics from Lucas Arts etc. If you loved The Curse of Monkey Island, though, you're going to like this one for sure.

Just an intro...

Deponia is a short but fun little point and click title. It is far from flawless (especially in the tech department), but it is solid and worth your time to play if the environment it takes place in interests you. It even comes with a few unique quality of life updates to the formula! However, it is also a point and click title, so if puzzles (inventory or otherwise) being the base of gameplay does not appear to you, neither will this game. And finally if you are like me and ending a game expecting a sequel frustrates you, it will end on a sour note.

Amazing adventure

This game has looks & feel of classic adventure games and delivers great humor and puzzles. Humor is perhaps not for everyone.

Fantastic!

This game has just what I'm looking for in a point-and-click adventure! Witty dialogues, well-composed environments and a protagonist with so much character he's impossible to forget! Now, I haven't played very may games of this kind lately, but it sure beats Telltale Games' productions by leagues! If anything, the puzzles are sometimes a tad too obvious, but I have to admit I actually got stuck for several hours at a couple places - a challenge I definitely enjoy. As some people have ponted out, the Deponia is maybe on the short side time-wise, but it in my opinion it has almost the same replay value as Monkey Island 1-3, which I've bee through dozens of times. Another comment is that the background music sometimes gets rather annoying, especially if you spend a lot of time in the same scene. An easy /mute fixes this. If you're looking for a more traditional pointer-and-clicker in a a fresh suit and without all the hard-to-manoeuvre "3D-just-for-the-sake-of-it" that's been popping up lately, this is definitely a game worth every penny!

A breath of fresh air!

It's an underrated imaginative feast for the eyes in the form of a classic point-and-click adventure game. All those who you come across, including the protagonist himself, are quirky and charming in a bizarre sense, that which accompanies the beautiful fluent animation exceedingly well. The setting, environment, and plot are refreshing and creative, and it's an absolute delight to watch it gradually uncover throughout the course of the game. Besides the premise, the gameplay itself happens to be both solid and familiar, proving to be fun despite its difficulty as well as simplicity. If you are a fan of the genre, definitely give the series a look.
