Mar 6, 2016Full of atmosphere, funny and like LucasArts. Part 4 of the trilogy (!) stays true to its predecessors and that's how it should be. Please don't stop!
-
Mar 4, 2016Quotation forthcoming.
-
Mar 29, 2016A typical Deponia with a lot of black humor, crazy characters and the narcissistic and clumsy Rufus we all love. The adventure stays true to the series in all aspects.
-
Mar 4, 2016Deponia Doomsday contains one of the greatest opening scenes we've ever seen in a Point 'n Click/Adventure game, featuring none other than David Hayter. It's a must-play if you enjoyed classics such as The Curse of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle.
-
Mar 3, 2016An excellent point and click adventure, filled with humour and banter about time travel, with the same care in the production we loved in the previous episodes.
-
Mar 2, 2016Surprisingly Deponia Doomsday is the most interesting and complex installment in the series. This is a well written sequel with very pretty levels, great soundtrack and some really demanding puzzles. The entire game is very funny as well and looks like a an expertly crafted piece of code. Must-have for point & click fans.
-
Mar 20, 2016I like the fact that Rufus returned to terrorize his environment. This destructive journey is a wild ride spiced up with time tiers. Classic point & click doesn’t get much better.
-
Apr 24, 2016Overall, Deponia Doomsday is an expertly-crafted point and click that holds itself to pretty high standards.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Apr 12, 2016Some new features in the game are not very successful, but in the core Deponia Doomsday is still as good as the previous trilogy, which we liked so much. [Issue#262]
-
Apr 6, 2016A must-play for fans of the Deponia series and adventure game fans in general. The latest in the Deponia series is as witty and gorgeous as its predecessors, but just on the verge of stretching the series too thin.
-
Mar 13, 2016Series fans will definitely want to catch a ride on the Rufus Time Travel Express, as the countdown to disaster in Deponia Doomsday packs a grin-inducing, mind-boggling, oft-repeated wallop.
-
Mar 4, 2016A great chapter, one that the fans shouldn't miss.
-
Apr 21, 2016Rufus’ adventures come back again in a new chapter of the Deponia saga where we travel to an alternative world, ruled by dreams and time travel, but with the classic essence of Deponia. However, the temporal leaps can sometimes be boring because we always reappear in the same spot.
-
Mar 15, 2016I can’t give Deponia Doomsday an unequivocal recommendation. Its protagonist is a major drag and a lot of its humor is straight-up lame. But by the same token, I can’t deny that it drew me in and made me care by the end. It’s a totally solid adventure game, and if you prefer a little extra bite in your old-school adventures, then it will be right up your alley.
-
Game World Navigator MagazineApr 21, 2016Although in the new chapter Rufus is once again alive, well and goofs around as much as ever, don’t expect that he’ll get his “happily ever after” this time. On the other hand – who even needs that “ever after” when you’ve got a time machine? [Issue#208, p.57]
-
Mar 6, 2016Doomsday is one of the weakest entries of the Deponia franchise, but this doesn't mean it's a bad game. Actually, it's a pretty good choice for point & click lovers.
-
CD-ActionMay 30, 2016Doomsday is not as good as previous Deponias – not as funny (but still funny enough), considerably easier and heavier on mindless minigames. [05/2016, p.58]
-
Apr 5, 2016Deponia Doomsday is an experience hardcore fans of these series will love. Its humour is as crude as ever, the story is confusing, and its characters are still missing a few vital brain cells. But with a beautiful art style and interesting puzzles, Daedalic has delivered yet another solid adventure game.
-
Mar 30, 2016Deponia Doomsday is a humorous nonsensical narrative-based point & click adventure that will challenge players to understand its absurd world, figuring out puzzles and minigames. If you are into these kind of odd themes, it could well be a very enjoyable trip. Else, your mileage may vary.
-
Mar 29, 2016While it is hard to ignore the fact that it reboots the series and throws the other games to the dustbin, Deponia Doomsday on its own retains much of the charm of the series, with a stellar cast and a wackier than ever storyline.
-
Mar 12, 2016The lovable-yet-flawed characters, the interesting, detailed environments, and the snappy story are definitely back again this time around. If you are new to Deponia, however, be prepared for some tedium and confusion to go along with the colorful fun.
-
Mar 10, 2016It won’t mesmerize people who did not like its predecessors. It may even not satisfy all those who enjoyed the previous three Deponia games. Essentially it’s a love letter to the sworn followers of the saga, who won’t refuse to participate in yet another adventure of Rufus.
-
Mar 9, 2016Deponia Doomsday is a great point and click adventure game that looks impressive and runs well. The story is pretty straightforward and the mini games are extremely fun.
-
Mar 9, 2016Deponia Doomsday is very classic and a pretty good choice for point & click lovers.
-
Mar 7, 2016A fun but too classic point'n click adventure that entertains but does not innovative in its genre.
-
Mar 3, 2016If you can get past some of the rather tedious moments plagued throughout the campaign, Deponia Doomsday becomes a rather comical adventure.
-
Mar 9, 2016Graphics, sound, dialogues and settings are ok, but with puzzles so illogical and not always fun, the result is not exactly a great one.
-
Apr 4, 2016All good things must come to an end, and in Deponia’s case, they ended with the third game. Rufus fans would be better off thinking that Deponia Doomsday simply doesn’t exist.
-
May 18, 2016Faint return of the popular adventure series. Deponia still charms with its original concept and humor …and even Rufus lost none of his charm. The devs from of Daedalic bring us an adventure that is good only with its story, but not with a gameplay.

Mar 3, 2016Clearly 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. The animations and art are lovely as ever, the music’s great, most of the voice actors are decent enough, but good grief, please, no more. Just make it stop.
