Wish it was better

So, I had high hopes for this based on reviews comparing it to things like Monkey Island. Sadly, MI it is not. Don't get me wrong, it's still a decent game, but it's never going to be a classic. The puzzle design is at times absolutely freaking nonsense and there were several cases where I either missed that something had TWO interactions associated with it (use item with and use on its own) or had to rub everything on everything else to work out what I needed to do. Some puzzles were logical, others were frustratingly obtuse or worse, the one thing you hadn't got right wasn't at all clear. There was a point where I had to use a dart gun and Rufus kept saying "yes, right distance." but not doing anything. I had to consult a walkthrough to learn I needed to go OUTSIDE. wtf? Why couldn't Rufus hint at that? It was funny in parts, but not laugh out loud funny. Rufus is a jerk but I don't mind jackass protagonists. I don't quite understand why Goal somehow "fell for him" after only 5 minutes though. What? Also the town's men all crowing to house the pretty lady in the tight jumpsuit was really uncomfortable and kinda creepy honestly. What was THAT about? "ooo pretty lady gimmie, she's mine" *puke* Hard to like a game that objectifies a woman like that and makes it out to be funny (A bunch of guys fighting over a girl like a piece of meat is NOT comedy, it's gross). I mean hell, she even has a chip in her head so you can knock her out and wipe her memories, how is that not super creepy? *shudder* Still, despite the unsettling subtext there, I found the plot interesting enough to want to play 2. The world is gorgeous and quite an interesting setup, i'd just like to see a lot less pervy bull and more intuitive puzzles. I like that you can skip the minigames, they're pretty tedious. I enjoyed the game apart from the pervy element, the rest was quite fun and end game was entertaining but goodness the puzzles... so unintuitive, so needlessly obtuse and random.

Quite enjoyable, even if not perfect

Bought during a sale, in order to try a few more recent point & click adventures, after some time away from the genre, so great value for the price. It reminds me a bit of the Monkey Island series for the humor, the kind of graphics, and also for the kind of puzzles (that made it miss the 5th star) of combining elements of inventory together or with the environment - sometimes almost logical (in its crazy way) sometimes a bit too goofy (finishing the game required a bit of internet cheating). Played in English, the voices are rather pleasant and easy to understand. The feature to show "hotspots" on each room/location is pleasant in order not to have to do pixel-object hunting. A lot of walking to do, and no clickable map to speed it up, fortunately double-clicking on exits allows to skip some of it, which saved the game from becoming tedious (and thus from getting only 3 stars). I got the 2 next ones, wanting to know what happens next, and will play them soon.

Slightly Frustrating But Good Game

If you've never played Point and Click games, I suggest not starting with Deponia as the puzzles are much more elaborated and complex. The graphics, sound, and voice acting are very good though, even though the pacing of the story is terrible and the ending will annoy you. Be sure to buy Deponia 2 as well if you're planning to buy Deponia 1.

Enjoyable but lacking polish.

The art is nice, the story is enjoyable, and the gameplay is solid. I also liked the music. The voice acting is pretty solid but there are a few uneven performances in the English voice cast. The puzzles are mostly good. There are a few obtuse ones, though. I beat the game in about 6 hours my first time though. This isn’t including about an hour of 'lost' time due to a game breaking bug on the mine maze level that required me to reload a save. There are achievements that encourage multiple playthroughs and you will get about half of them the first time though if you don’t skip any puzzles. I have to take a star off for the bugs and polish issues, though. Even 7 years after its release there are some game breaking bugs they simply have not fixed and probably never will be, so save often. There are also spots where animation could have been better, both in game and in cut scenes. Some of the cut scenes have ‘Conspicuous CG’ (check out that on TV Tropes) and there are times where you will interact with something/someone and your hand will reach for nothing or the character will turn 180 degrees for no reason and then flip back again. There are areas where the camera panning is a little wonky. There were also a few scenes where the subtitles reverted to the original German or had other strangeness. Overall, a very solid and enjoyable graphical adventure game.

Darn, this good game just loves to crash

It has the feeling of Monkey Island 3, and actualy could pass the puzzles until now as they only used adventure-game logic. My problem is, despite not having much difference to the graphic and workings of Monkey Island 3, this just luves to crash, that's why I can't give full 5 stars.
