Deponia Doomsday

Clearly the Deponia series is loved by enough people for them to keep making more of them, so I’m sure this will be as gleefully received as the rest. But it’s a nasty, stupid, and most damningly of all, badly constructed adventure game.

Deponia Doomsday is a charming adventure that brings back all the humor from the past, but derives its puzzles on obscurities and trial and error.

For me, I can't help but feel like Deponia Doomsday needed to reset time just once more to undo some of its irritating writing and design so that the good qualities could shine through even brighter.

If you enjoyed the original Deponia trilogy then Doomsday is bound to enthrall you with its immersive story and challenging puzzles.

If you're a big fan of the bygone heyday of the point and click adventure games the Deponia trilogy is well worth checking out...

The fourth installment of Deponia Trilogy is quite a game. You almost can't see that it wasn't planned and was made a lot later, but it still utilizes the humor everyone loved and makes for a great conclusion of the story arc.

Deponia is a pretty good point-and-click adventure. It’s definitely heavily focused on being a more humorous take on the genre, and while I smiled at a few of the jokes, I rarely found anything overly funny – but humor is subjective, so maybe it was just me.

"Deponia" is full of humor, funny puzzle-solving, and with a setting that I thoroughly enjoy in fiction. For anyone who likes point-and-click adventures, this series is one for you.

While Deponia still remains a satisfying experience, this Switch edition is quite disappointing. Far too much expensive, as the Steam version of the game is nearly free today, it also contains some graphic or major glitches. Also, where are the sequels ?

Deponia Doomsday’s promise of over 20 hours gameplay lives up to the task, and with over 100 backdrops to marvel at, the game is astatically pleasing on the eye. The whole Groundhog Day style time loop, dream-vision take is pure sci-fi gold, the story on its own leaves you coming back for more. However, the puzzles are very challenging and although once solved and the penny drops as to how you got there, I sometimes feel they are a little farfetched, leaving too much for the players imagination to solve.
