GameSpot Reviews - Deponia

[@unarmedpizza3794]

Deponia: The Complete Journey will be free on the epic game store starting April 15 to April 22!

[@Oreo_Overdose]

That's exactly what brought me here, sire.

[@MyOwnVoucherEverywhere]

Good looking out 🙌🏽 I almost bought it on switch

[@DanielMartinez316]

There is only one Guybrush Threepwood and he is a mighty pirate.

[@Quincy_Morris]

Daniel Martinez Rufus is a more interesting character.

[@DanielMartinez316]

David Umstattd I have been playing the game, and I agree with you now.

[@Quincy_Morris]

Daniel Martinez I love Guybrush as much as the next guy, but Rufus goes through more of a character arc.

[@DanielMartinez316]

David Umstattd I understand your point of view, and I respect it.

[@O1OO1O1]

And now ones by Disney, who refuse to give the rights to Ron Gilbert.

[@goldenOO]

U can press spacebar to highlight objects? oh ffs

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

LOL

[@BlazeBluetm35]

I just got to the third game and had no idea this was a thing, hysterical laughter is okay right?

[@clockworkdeity]

Free on Epic for a week. Decided to come here to see if it was any good.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

I’m here because the Deponia collection of 4 games is currently (26/12/2023) £3.59 on the Switch a-shop and I was curious to find out what it’s about.

[@jaredisgay1333]

Same

[@davitsk1]

I found the game to be frustrating hard.

[@joleo1925]

A Point and Click Adventure game?! Really!?

[@leduc6919]

@@joleo1925 it’s a very...puzzled one

[@Gl-my8fw]

@@leduc6919 try the lucas arts stuff like day of the tentacle. Very similar.

[@reubenbennett9844]

Same, It's pretty difficult for me

[@leeartlee915]

It’s less “hard” and more finicky. A lot of times I know what to do but I’m not clicking the right things in the exact right place. But compared to the point of clicks of old, it’s actually pretty easy.

[@looksintolasers]

Buy this. Then buy the sequel. Then wait until Fall and buy the third one :D

[@d3s3rtray]

Only down sides are that a few problems may use bizarre logic, but the big one is that its short. Still I was enthralled at the end to get the sequel right after wards, the third and final part will be this fall.

[@DnVTubers]

This is my kind of game. More of this please gaming industry.

[@GabrielTobing]

8 years later... Sorry to tell you but... that time has passed.

[@D3stiny-f6y]

[@-AG.]

Fr, the closest game we get that have similar playstyle nowadays is ace attourney imo.

[@jokeruiner4481]

​@@GabrielTobing2 years later and its returning ;)

[@GabrielTobing]

@@jokeruiner4481 Which game?

[@faptoons]

Deponia is part of the HumbleBundle Indlie Bundle 15.

Wolf among us game review

[@BatheAlone]

This game does look charming

[@philg3093]

I saw this on a switch sale and thought I’d have a look. When first glancing upon it I thought it was quite monkey island esque so when you said the protagonist is like a modern Guybrush Threepwood I had to get it 😂

[@senok7209]

Whats the background music thats playing ?

[@nicxx2]

1,99 euro, today on steam!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Where is the background music from?

[@overdev1993]

Daedalic such a great developer! classic and very very funny point and click adventures

[@Charonchristo227]

You can also try the game “the pillars of the earth” is also a click game. And I think them both developed by the same company. Just a advice, but the story is not even alike in the slightest.

[@Charonchristo227]

Btw it’s based on a novel and I think it’s worth a try

[@lil_sxrrxw]

thoughts on them now?

[@Graciepie420]

I didn't know about the space bar trick..,. That makes finding things much easier

[@nicko_3d_art]

1.99 on steam today

[@overdev1993]

yeah its from the same developer Daedalic Entertainment

[@WPTUNED]

Reminds me of Discworld! Loved that odd game

[@artlif8303]

you must get the monkey island games, if you can only get one, get Monkey Island 3(they dont continue eachothers stories, theyre different adventures of Guybrush Treepwood, a Mighty Pirate(tm)), bu Monkey Island 3 is a gem, I finished it more than 10 times, it also has different difficulty modes with more complicated puzzles and more stuff to pick up and combine, it has the same funny-heartwarming atmosphere, and its the same, a love story with a prootagonist almost alike Rufus

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

Unfortunately, Gog and steam don't have it, only overpriced 2nd hand cds on ebay, like 50€... Until Disney decides to sell it......well.....It is a pirate game.

[@tomitiustritus6672]

Reall? Came here because of a spoiler warning in another review and after less than one minute you casually drop major plot points from the second half of the game.

[@publicsectordirect982]

They have no idea of what a review is, and this for a narrative driven game

[@slovan]

Deponia ROCKS!!!

[@Lucols4]

That's because the puzzles are ilogic

[@renzorro2001]

Got a 90% off coupon from completing a badge on steam. Who says those aren't worth anything?

[@frederikl.7980]

Renzo Calarota no but its an "older game" and is mostly popular in germany

[@arnoldw5399]

Anyone here after seeing it so cheap on the Nintendo estore?

[@jezz2k]

@The Approximate Truth P&C means "Point and Click".

[@kienesel7]

Wait..YOU COULD PRESS THE SPACEBAR TO HIGHLIGHT OBJECTS?! Son of a...

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Finally, a good adventure game for my Mac!

[@halcyonactual7602]

Free today on Epic Store!

[@DesperadoBloo]

sold

[@SpaceCattttt]

It's on PSN now.

[@Mugsi]

I just bought this because the main guy reminds me of Okabe from Steins;Gate

[@redouanekhaldi7289]

Its free now

[@Srefanius]

You can buy it on steam now.

[@frontstory]

Reminds me of this old game I used to play as a kid,Gilbert goodmate.hahah

[@squeey]

Just got through Resonance, and looks like I've found the next P&C game to play :D

[@Crit-Chance]

Reminds me of The Whispered World.

[@decimateyktv]

Its free on epic games so I'm looking it up haha

[@calvin9436]

One of the best german games, a classic :)

[@anoe1]

yay cant wait to buy this game for my mac

[@tlotpwist3417]

The game went bananas with "filling a kiloton of parallel objectives to do in the same level" It's not necessarily the worst "wtf is that logic" when it comes to combine/use items, but there are really frustrating parts when you just miss one thing, to unlock a zone that may host items to solve over things, and you have no idea how to do something that you still see how it plays elsewhere. Like a guy with music sheets you know where to use next, but can't figure the fuck out how to get the pages from him

[@ericmacgillivary]

Yo these games are on sale on the Nintendo e shop. Should I get them?

[@mohammedmustafa7509]

No just claim them on your pc, they're free right now on the Epic Games launcher

Your picture just made that comment so much better....

[@lolguys6676]

i am just here for the songs played during the review :)

[@Crit-Chance]

I really hope the Walking Dead series by Telltale Games succeeds because then maybe they can go right ahead and continue "Tales of Monkey Island".

[@superhamz7]

yikes

[@Generic-ODST]

Got bad news for you friend..

[@gabriel_14179]

The puzzles of this game were soooo bad! I felt like they were designed to be brute forced.

[@kellymorris8478]

Thanks i don’t like puzzles that are too hard🤨

[@lonewolf5749]

This full series is on humble trove

[@rendermatt]

Haven't played a good adventure game in years, how does this compare to monkey island games?

[@stevenking3966]

very good

[@BigMacOrange]

Lucas arts?

[@supernintendogames1]

Is it weird that rufus and i are very like each other

[@JohnCortelli]

No you're not.

[@Ultracombogaming]

Yeah go to steam and get buying buddy! :)

[@Crit-Chance]

We can only hope.

[@banditoincognito8950]

Eureka 7 vibes.

[@marleyJJJ1]

Oh Derponia

[@TYMEKOPZ]

Been so, so long since I properly played a point and click game.

[@GabrielTobing]

Thanks Epic games for giving it to me for free!

[@MichaeltheCameraMan]

idk about this one

[@Talakur]

Also, "apparantly".

[@ffxamine]

I thought it was Derpina

[@swordofcoke]

I Love this game so much :)

[@acosivac]

i got this game for free on steam

[@IamKnucks]

Urgh.. that opening voice acting and writing were painful.

[@alexisaranguren]

not bad but not good, is a cheap copy of the old Gold Age of gaming ... i prefer to play monkey island 1 and 2 for the 63 time ... that play deponia again ... pssss and yea im comparing it with the best game ever but still ... whant a good GrapAdventure ... play any of the old school ps. compare rufus with Guybrush is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out of question ... i fealt ALL the game that he was a FAIL attemp to resemble Guybrush

[@halokosovo1]

did you play the game? cuz if u didnt then I recommend actually PLAY the game first before assuming which kind of game it is!

[@Phantron]

german version 9.0/10 :P

[@Talakur]

Also picked that. Shit, I hate my grammar nazi-ness!

[@GustavoMsTrashCan]

Sorry, but your comment Is a complete denial, without showing anything reasonable and concrete.

love this week

[@jessbragg1]

Thanks guys, now i gotta go spend some more money ;) honestly, great review, can't wait to play this game

[@thegamemaster07]

hi

[@Geno746]

It's only a dollar on steam for now.

[@chase_h.01]

This game is very pretty, but boring. The jokes dont land and the puzzles never make you go "ah ha!" You will be using the walk through WAY too much and after a while its just not even worth it for the story.

[@BigMacOrange]

A spoiler alert would be nice. If I missed it my bad. I'm not sure if I want to continue on with the game.

[@vodorf]

I just press the scrollwheel, but it took me a while to find out too. *facepalm* xD

[@dexter1673138]

TOO MANY SPOILERS! damn it!

[@billybats100]

Yeah and that yesterday made by the Spanish studio...some rubbish translation in that too. Why don't some native speakers start making these again? Surely there is another broken sword in the pipeline?!

[@arbitraryproductions1746]

Rufus as a character drove me insane. He is such a terrible person it made it hard to play the game.

[@bsnxenogear]

I love the art, story and humor, but my god, the gameplay is 1990's point and click with moon logic. At least, with games like the Walking Dead, Perfect Prosecutor and hell, Sherlock Holmes, they at least DID something to innovate. This is just Monkey Island with HD graphics, that's great for some, but it feels really dated.

[@wiiagent]

99 cents on steam right now lol

[@BryanLagos]

59 cents on dog today

[@NiHaufly]

DERPINIA :O

[@coconuthead1361]

Eh, I wasn't a big fan of this game. Just finished the final game in the trilogy an hour ago, and the ending was unsatisfying as all hell. The writing was mediocre, and I really hated Rufus.

[@59biskut]

lala

[@JourdanCameron]

PC.

[@Reviize9]

Want a tissue?

[@MaaartyMcFly]

Spoiled a few of the puzzles there bud

[@alexisaranguren]

eeeeeh ... if im telling that that i whont play deponia again ... sooooooo yea i played, and i didnt like it, again, isnt a bad game, but not a good one. just meeh, ooooh and i didnt even mention ( semi/spoiler ) the complete lack of closure/end ... one thing is to have a open ending ... and a waaaaaaaay diferent is not having one at all, and that is a big fail

[@Jubanen12]

haha... what a lame joke.

[@GustavoMsTrashCan]

Oh, wow. That does not even make sense. Do you even know how to type proper English at all?

[@thomaskk10]

:D

[@bigjigyeah]

"Did you loose something" Good to see those Germans still haven't bothered to invest in a GOOD English translation... Sigh

[@Rockovissi]

A dying genre I tells you!

[@Sheepy007]

Point & Click! *roll eyes*

[@alexisaranguren]

rasonable and concrete ? mmmm, i think u r in denial ... or cant read well, i putt pretty good points why deponia is just one more in the bag ... cant understand it ? ur problem ... jajajaj ... stop wasting time on me that u could be using to play such a HUGE game like deponia

[@theapproximatetruth5400]

P&C? Personal and Computer?... wut?
