If you're not already into classic JRPGs this probably isn't the game to start with these days but for fans of classic JRPGs and obviously Suikoden in particular this is great. It's not revolutionary and only time will tell if it's a masterpiece but so far definitely can be considered one of the best classic style JRPGs that has come out in a long time. Apparently it's also not suitable to individuals overly sensitive and have difficulty dealing with minor localization changes. I'd recommend to avoid if certain ambiguous buzzwords trigger you at the mere mention or a tantrum may ensue.
While Deponia has it's ups and downs it inevitably became one of my favorite adventure games of all time. I understand a lot of oldschool players don't appreciate Daedalic's approach on the genre much, but luckily they'll be left in the past playing their decrepit games over and over. I find it refreshing that Daedalic is taking a genre that was just about lost and making it new again. Telltale is fighting the good fight too, without a doubt, but I find their newer games to be either too traditional to a fault or too streamlined. Deponia itself sets itself apart by it's setting and atmosphere, though it keeps in tune with the kind-of-funny-kind-of-serious attitude we've come to basically expect from every good point and click at this point. It has good system of combining inventory and decently challenging puzzles which will keep veterans thinking as well as being accessible to new comers of the genre. The story line is interesting and unique, though cut short to leave room for the sequel. Characters are generally interesting, if a little static, though I despise the main character Rufus, which is funny considering my high regard for the game. It started with his voice and quickly became his personality. I just got the sequel so hopefully it holds up to this new standard Daedalic has set.
