However, it's pretty much impossible not to warm to a game that opens with a song. That, and what are now familiar problems with the translation from German. And by the same accounts, has all the same issues that we tend to forget. Deponia, by all accounts, is every bit as good as many of the adventures back in the day. And yet it's so hard not to measure a modern point and click to the near-fictional memory of the past. I know this because I've gone back to play them, and either games can erode over time, or they're mostly not nearly as amazing as I remember (with the exception of those LucasArts few). I know that I misremember the adventures of the 90s. You can't refuse to find out - I promise it won't be a waste of your time.


Set on a planet made of trash, will it prove to be a big pile of rubbish, or a diamond in a dungheap.
WELCOME TO DEPONIA SERIES
If you're a fan of point and click adventures, comedy, or simply love very colorful and pretty art and environments, I highly suggest checking the Deponia series out.Deponia is released today - the latest adventure from German developers, Daedalic Entertainment. I bought the three games before Daedalic came out with the collection, but I'm gonna buy that as well because I actually want to play through the developer commentaries, which is something I've rarely wanted to do. Catchy and unique I loved it enough to buy it on iTunes. I mean, I've played Sam and Max before, but this takes the cake to Weirdsvile.Īnd I have to give a shoutout to the music.
WELCOME TO DEPONIA PLUS
Plus the puzzles were way harder in the third game, but that might not stop others from realizing just how freaking weird everything's gotten. In the third installment of the series, things get really really really weird, but I still found it charming and witty enough for me not to care. But I digress, the puzzles are quite creative and unique. Why does it always come down to Rufus to save the world? Well, no one really asked him to do it. But, as Rufus' luck would have it, life tends to get in the way. In doing so, she'll bring him to his new life on Elysium, where he can live with Goal and do whatever it is people on Elysium do. Infatuated with this woman, Rufus sets his sights on his newest goal: getting the woman named Goal to fall in love with his manly heroic self. Ignoring all the advice of those plebeians he calls friends, Rufus makes yet another half-baked attempt at rocketing up to Elysium, where everyone will undoubtedly welcome him with open arms and no questions about him because Rufus is amazing! When he tragically fails yet again, he managed to knock out a resident of Elysium and crash back in the junkyard. high above the junk planet looms the elegant city of Elysium. Rufus wants to leave Deponia, a world literally made of trash. Our brave hero facing off against the deadly Pop of Lolly! Rufus has that rather rugged charm that reminds me of Charlie from It's Always Sunny.

Cares about nobody but himself, always considers himself to be the goody two-shoes who would never burn down that hospital despite holding the matches while saying so, and has an uncanny ability to take a beating and combining random junk together to make something that might be useful in certain situations. The quirky characters that everyone loves to hate, especially the narcissistic jackass Rufus.

You can't talk about Deponia without talking about the characters. Daedalic Entertainment revives the genre with the Deponia trilogy. "How the hell was I supposed to figure that out?!" The point and click genre has gained a small but loyal fanbase series like King's Quest and Monkey Island get sequels that continue to make players chuckle at the absurdity of the situation one moment and tear their hair out because of an equally absurd yet difficult puzzle. One of the greatest philosophical questions of the 21st century stems from people familiar with LucasArts games.
