Deponia 4: Deponia Doomsday

Harsh Reviews for a game i loved.

I found people quite hard on the game here, maybe that's because they are a lot more experienced point & click player than in say... Steam... but still, i found it too bad since Deponia is really a serie i learned to love as much as those old LucasArt game i grew up with. So yeah, this is mainly why i post this review even if i'm not used to. I found the game actually quite well designed. How to add another portion in a trilogy of game which have already quite a conclusion ? With time travel ! And since the main element is "time" that mean the creator on Deponia could go all out with that. Alternative Future, Frozen Time, Time Portal, Alternative Self, name it, you have it ! And of course, there is Time Loops. It's quite talked in reviews for being annoying and repetitive but i found that there were not that much of them, the final puzzle must be the only one where there could be "too much thing" but other than that, i was just impressed about how many creativity there were in there ! From a story standpoint, well, we could argue that it doesn't add anything to the excellent end of Deponia 3 but i find it quite cool by itself and a given ending for a time travel story... But i won't say more. So yeah, it's not that often that a fourth episode of a trilogy is that good, there is a lot of crazy situations with a lot of humor (still quite depressing a lot of time actually...) which is why i liked Deponia to begin with... PS : Yeah limited time for making action are annoying... But again, it's not too often and since you can save whenever you want, i didn't find that too annoying either.
