Disappointing, More frustrating than fun

I really wanted to like this game. I love point and clicks but Deponia is far more frustrating than fun. The puzzles are ridiculous - half the time it's more trial and error of all the ingredients than any logical sense. So many times after completing one I'm just dumbfounded at how that was supposed to make any sense or be at all fun. I could go on and on about the lacking quality of the puzzles but.. oh the story. The story of Deponia is so simplistic and bland. In the first few minutes or pretty much from any description of the main character you'll know basically how the whole thing is going to go. It's not exciting, it's not original or very creative, it's not much of an adventure. And the humour is IMO extremely weak and in poor taste. The main character is a shallow, narcissistic jerk. Unless that's something you want to live, and you like viewing other people as tools or objects for your own means, and you like jokes about this being thrown at you over and over in slightly differing shades, it really is just a tiring experience. The art and music are decent but the game lags constantly (it's not my PC) and some of the sounds get repeated constantly and this happens over and over - really takes away any chance of immersion there. There are several screw-ups in the dialogue and text that show the lack of polish in the game. The overall fluidity was about non-existent. I really can't believe all the fanatic reviews about this game. It doesn't even come close to comparing to the classics like so many claim.

Loved it.

I really liked this game, the story, the characters, especially how good it looks.

Great intro to point-n-click adventures

Unlike some people here I had no prior experience with point-and-click adventures, but I feel like this was a good choice for introducing myself to the genre. The story was fun and took some unexpected turns, the puzzles were never overly frustrating, the humor was great (albeit repetitive in specific places, but you can click through the dialogue so it never irritated me too much), and the German voice acting was pretty good, even if a bit overdone. The animation was indeed stiff, but this, too, didn't detract from the game very much. The pacing was good (hint: you can double-click on destinations), and the last section of the game really clinched it for me, especially the ending! Personally, I find the puzzles were pretty decent and creative and didn't really veer into crazy territory, as I had heard some other games of this genre tended to do. The only times I was randomly combining items were when I had overlooked something that was obvious in retrospect. There are plenty of in-game hints, too, and a few times I had figured out what to do but had missed a place to click on or thought I had tried something when I hadn't. Once I found out what to do the game gets right back on track. (The lesson for me is to not play these sorts of games when I'm tired.) Technically the game ran fine, there were some minor nits where I had to restart the game (possibly due to my dual-monitor setup), but I never once lost progress; the game continued right where I left off. There was *one* puzzle where I had to reload from a save because I skipped it and left it in a state where I couldn't finish another puzzle. At least that's what it looked like. It didn't break the game for me, however, but *was* annoying. All in all, this was a very good game, even if some aspects of it are, so-to-say, very well-trodden, I'm still buying the rest of the series on the strength of this title alone and am looking forward to also buying other games from this team.

Where LucasArts left off

The game is VERY good. Actually, this is the kind of adventure game that was made by classic LucasArts (Monkey Island etc). Note that the graphic style is very similiar the Curse of Monkey Island - beautiful cartoon style and also wacky humor. Of course, not all the puzzles are absolutely logical, but most of them are... kind of ;). I liked the main character, yeah he's a jerk. So what? He's funny. The townsfolk are nice, the feel of the game is warm. With no more LucasArts, it seems Daedalic pick up where the former left off. Recommended!

Can't wait to play the sequel!

I finished it in a day. When I say that, I mean it took me pretty much a whole day to play (with minimal cheating - just a small hint here and there without just following a walkthrough all the way through). Without giving too much away, the ending made me think, at first, that it had multiple endings and that I'd missed out on the best ending somehow ("Good", "Neutral" and "Bad" endings seem to be the standard in adventure games nowadays, not even limited to RPGs) but no, it just sets the stage very interestingly for the sequel, which I look forward to playing within the next few days. I will definitely play this game again as well, no doubt about it!
