Well-executed, but probably misogynist.
Deponia is an alright adventure. It has decent production values and not-terrible voice acting. The puzzles are inventive, and some of the characters are memorable and funny in the vein of Schafer/Gilbert games. But I had to stop playing because of how misogynist the game's concept and writing is. I won't give it away, but the wheelbarrow, the memory wiping, the treatment of the trans woman who works in City Hall are disgusting. I don't think I'm sensitive, but I am disappointed I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere (but I haven't searched very hard, either). My suspicion that we're supposed to empathize with Rufus, which is difficult considering he is a hateful jerk. Not a lovable loser, ala Lucasarts's Guybrush (or others), just a loser who doesn't respect women (or any human beings, really—but especially women). If you have a conscience, the game will make you feel bad. While the humour is written in the vein of those Lucasarts games, Daedalic completely whiffed on tone, and that's a shame, because it's a major misstep that makes the game almost unplayable. This is NOT the direction that games should be going. Whenever I see the art for the future games in the series, which feature Goal (I mean, jesus) in various states of coma, I just... feel bad. Pass! Pick up something else.

Overrated, not funny
First the good things: I have to admit, that I bought Deponia with high expectations because of all the good ratings. And I really like the style of the artwork. To be completely honest, a lot of the puzzles were somehow entertaining in a way. This is what I am giving the two stars for. Now starting with the bad things: In the beginning the social Interactions were somehow funny and I hoped all the time that Rufus will be punished for his toxic behavior and his mysogeny. But turned out, that most other characters in the game with talking parts were male aswell with very similar or even worse behavior against female characters. I only continued playing, to see how far the game is going in terms of cruel abusive things happening to Goal. It was more like watching a car accident, rather than being drawn into the game . Turned out a happened to Goal. Sometimes it was hard to believe that this was really a game, that people are honestly enjoying. Should that be funny? Its clearly not. And was this really necessary? In my opinion Deponia had the potential to be a really funny little game with some abstruse moments. But all the abuse and the general mysogeny destroyed it for me. Note: I played it in German, which is my native language.

A display of sexism and oppressive humor
I don’t understand the positive reviews. This game is just a display of sexism (with the usual excuse that it is « just jokes » of course) and oppressive humor in general. Rufus, the main character, is just a misogynist asshole, never evolves, and although he is supposed to be laughed at too, he is never really proven wrong by the game environment (where almost everyone is misogynist as well it seems). We’re supposed to laugh *with* him as well, to laugh at his misogynist jokes and actions, because you know, it’s funny to mock women and treat them like animals, right ? Literally : at some point in a future game, he just jokes about how he doesn’t hate wombats. « They are very useful animals… like women. » Hilarious. The game also features transphobia, with a trans woman (Lotti) that is a receptionist at the town hall, but is supposed to be laughed at, because you know, it’s just a « man in robes », and she is so masculine and tries to keep her voice high pitched and feminine, but each time she gets angry her voice gets all masculine again. That’s supposed to be funny. All the game is like that and based on this kind of « humor ». I stopped playing after two hours, when I discovered the amount of shit in this game and understood that it wasn’t just the beginning, but I looked for reviews of the series, and apparently it gets even worse later. The joke about women and animals are from a later title, but there are also blatantly racist jokes (one black characters dressed as a *monkey*, and you need to *sell* him a black woman to join him, as a slave), or jokes about homeless people, or jokes about mental health issues and suicide, or pedophilia (apparently you need to bring children to a pedophile to advance at some point, and there are many awful jokes about that as well…). Because it’s so funny to laugh at the weak and oppressed, right ? I could go on but at this point I think it’s unnecessary. This game is sickening.
