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.
