    Full 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!

    A 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.

    Deponia 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.

    An 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.

    Surprisingly 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.

    I 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.

    Overall, Deponia Doomsday is an expertly-crafted point and click that holds itself to pretty high standards.

    Some 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]

    A 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.

    Series 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.

    A great chapter, one that the fans shouldn't miss.

    Rufus’ 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.

    I 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.

  1. 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. 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.

    Some people call the Deponia series the "Monkey Island" of the new millennium. Rightfully so. Rufus is even more anti-hero than Guybrush couldSome people call the Deponia series the "Monkey Island" of the new millennium. Rightfully so. Rufus is even more anti-hero than Guybrush could be. He's a meanie and an egoist and he provokes emotion. The humor is crude and snappy and the characters range from lovely to awkward. The 4th installation of this great series again is a delight to play! One of the best point and click games ever Full Review »

    Well.... **** you. We will make another game to say: we don't care"

    Honestly, it is really sad. This characters and the world deserves better.
