Deponia series started with a highly intriguing, though slightly too "adventure logic" first part about (mis)adventures of Rufus - headstrong and foolish egoistic "hero", who constantly creates accident around himself bringing misfortune to others and injuries upon himself. Second game in the series, while having a kind of a redundant plot which "wouldn't have happened if Rufus wasn't an idiot" by the end justifies itself in plot and is an amazingly fun adventure game in everything else. The third game, unfortunately, instead of moving the story and the character development further from where they were at the last game, mostly tries to repeat itself with new backgrounds. Even more, it turns Rufus from a likable fool into an unpleasant character to play as and manages to do that after the point of the story where he definitely was supposed to redeem himself. There's rather gross humour here, lots of questionable jokes. Story explanations are, while welcome, often rushed and underwhelming. There is still some charm of the previous games left, of course. The music is still good, although the majority, if not all, is reused. The art still looks good. And some of the secondary characters are genuinely fun, old or new. Gameplay-wise it feels less refined than the predecessor, but still not as "guess what dev's thought" as the first entry of the series. Not a bad game. But rather disappointing and not nearly as fun as it could and should have been.
