Story and worldbuilding

Such a Chaos! Rufus' home Deponia is an enourmous, the whole planet comprising junkyard - and authorized by the Elysian Council of Elders to blast off. Only the beautiful Goal could prevent this. But Goal is stuck with Rufus at the swimming black market, the filthiest dump of Deponia. And her brain implant, where the secret codes for the return to Elysium are saved, is heavily damaged. Fortunately you can get at the swimming black market almost everything - includes a operation at the brain. But when Goals consciousness get broken into three pieces while the operation, then the chaos is complete: Rufus needs to bring back all three personality fragments to reason - all this before Goas fiancé Cletus, the Organon, the unorganzed crime or the rebel troops get their fingers on the value consciousness-datasets. Between duck bills, burning saw blades, anti-gravity socks and torpedo dolphins develops the most bizzarre romance in history of video games. Because Rufus not only needs to save the world, to thwart the plans of the Organon and to cheat himself to the top of two opposing underground organizations - he has to unbold the heart of a woman, whose consciousness is saved on three datasets. In a nutshell: The destiny of the whole world depends on Rufus' charme and his empathy. Well...it could have been much worse.

Chaos on Deponia is even better than Deponia itself. It's even more funny, even more satisfying and still involving us in wild adventure to save the planet. Again.

Chaos On Deponia is a fun game, albeit with its flaws. The story is fun and is a nice adventure for families to enjoy together. The writing here is okay and the puzzles are fun but way too easy, they lack the depth that other games from this genre have. Overall you may enjoy this story if you have children and they are looking for their first video game experience, otherwise I would avoid picking this game up if you are expecting a great adventure like the Double Fine games.

I find it hard to say much more about Chaos on Deponia. It definitely worth playing. It ticks all the boxes for those looking for something which harkens back to the old LucasArts adventures. It ticks all the boxes for those looking for a fun new adventure game. And it ticks all the boxes for those looking to sink into point-and-click style adventures. It is an all-round good experience, one you should expect for Daedelic.

If you've got the patience, Chaos on Deponia's charming world is worth a visit, it's just a shame about the company.

Chaos on Deponia will guarantee you a few hours of fun far removed from the usual titles. With a few lines of dialogue and a superb humour, it's a gaming experience that we recommend you even if you like more or less the "Point & Click" genre.

considering Rufus isn't much of a likable character, it gets annoying to listen to him.

Chaos on Deponia is an excellent point and click game that really suits PS4 - which was already the case with Deponia. It is visually superb and displays some fantastic arts and is really fun. We wish it could have brought some bonus like artworks with it.

Chaos on Deponia is a great addition to the Deponia saga, whether you have played the original or not. Its humour doesn't appear to be to everyone's liking but I personally found it very funny and a pleasure to play. I would strongly recommend picking up the first game in the series and playing through that first in order to fully understand everything which happens in this one – it isn't necessary but it will help introduce you to the characters in more detail.

Witty, charming, and full of personality, Chaos on Deponia is an incredibly endearing point and click adventure that will make audiences forget they have been playing with a controller the entire time. Moving with the analogue stick is incredibly fluid and cycling through hotspots with either the shoulder buttons or the right analogue is an inspired decision that completely negates the need for a mouse. Puzzle solving still feels natural and the new control scheme never gets in the way of the action. With a hilarious script, beautiful animation, and fantastic voice direction, Chaos on Deponia is as enjoyable in 2017 as it was in 2012.
