    It is a great finish to a truly original tale, and a trilogy that anyone not already familiar with the series should absolutely purchase and enjoy.

    Goodbye Deponia sends off the series in the most profoundly memorable way. While there are some pacing concerns and minor technical issues here and there, these are overshadowed by the comical story and clever puzzle designs.

    Goodbye Deponia is a fantastic episode to end this point 'n click saga... Let's just hope that it is not completely finished and that we will find Rufus and Goal in new adventures soon! If you like adventure games, you definitely have to play this trilogy.

    All in all, Daedalic have crafted an excellent adventure that does justice to the series, topping it all off in a satisfying manner. It even leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation in the end.

    Goodbye Deponia is the final part of the epic Deponia-trilogy. Rufus and his companions manage to give players a satisfying conclusion with lots of humor and tricky puzzles.

    This is one of the best graphic adventures we've played in the last few years, at least with classic gameplay mechanics. Great story, great characters, great puzzles… and one of the best closures for a trilogy we've seen in a while.

    Goodbye Deponia tells a beautiful story without losing its humor. A must buy for adventure fans.

    Goodbye Deponia is a wild rollercoaster ride - a bigger, smarter and funnier adventure than the previous Deponia games. It will earn a place in your heart even after it totally fails to deliver a proper cathartic ending.

    This 'end of all things' couldn't be just simple, or happier or just bigger. It had to be just like Deponia deserved: A more surreal, acid, bizarre, actioner final chapter that pushes the humour to its limits sometimes. Rufus isn't changed at all, but we don't want to see he changes. We want to be again with this egomaniac selfish antihero and his particular crusade. The ending the surreal universe that Daedalic has made deserves, its hard to just say 'see ya!' to Goodbye Deponia, because we're really gonna miss these guys a lot. That's what happened when things are very well done.

    It’s hard to leave this game – it’s beautiful, sound great and is extremely involving. A must-have for the fans of Day of the Tentacle, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. [01/2014, p.70]

    Goodbye Deponia is the last chapter in the Deponia series and without going into any spoilers, I'll tell you this: you have to play this game.

    Overall, I found Goodbye Deponia to be a lot of fun. It’s tough and it’s funny, it looks good, and the voice actors (who are all back from the previous games) do a fine job with their lines.

    Goodbye Deponia is the almost perfect conclusion of a trilogy packed with irreverent humor, bizarre characters and crazy puzzles.

    Daedalic saved their best for the last episode. Goodbye Deponia towers over the previous installments. It's clever, funny and complex. [Issue#236]

    Goodbye Deponia has a bumpy ride towards the ending, but is able to entertain nonetheless. It won't pose the hardest challenge around, but will keep you smiling while going forward and at times it will even make you laugh really hard.

    The Deponia trilogy turns out to be very good at goodbyes. If you enjoy LucasArts-style comedic games, this series – and especially the final game – will provide hours of tongue-in-cheek unconventionality.

    Goodbye Deponia is a fun, challenging and smart graphic adventure. Maybe some of you won't appreciate a too uncomfortable and unpleasant narrative, but you will find much humor, original mini-games and great puzzles too.

    Goodbye Deponia turned out to be the weakest entry in the series. The story feels a bit messy and the ending isn't really that satisfying. The puzzles are challenging though and it's still one of the most humourus games out there.

    Goodbye Deponia succeeds as the weakest entry in the franchise, with moments that rival the best. In many ways, this third entry has taken some tumbles, with neither puzzles nor characters as imaginative and challenging as the watermark left by its predecessor.

    Goodbye Deponia has some great things going for it: the gorgeous staged scenes set against hand-painted backdrops are Daedalic’s trademark, and they seem to have pulled it off again here.

    Goodbye Deponia is well written in that it does make your emotionally involved with the plight of the characters in the story. There are someGoodbye Deponia is well written in that it does make your emotionally involved with the plight of the characters in the story. There are some laughs here and there as well as some comical references pulled from many other games and TV shows and while it seems to be worth playing, I personally thought so too until the dramatic climax. I had flashbacks to the horrible ending of Mass effect trilogy it was the same thing all over again a Non-ending. One that leaves you with a disgust for the entire series after seeing it. It very quickly goes from something you liked to play and were fond of to a bitter memory that you shake your head and try to forget when it pops into your mind. Do your self a favor and don't play any of these three games you will just be disappointed at the end. Any way you look at how this thing ended they are all horrible. I believe the author of the story even deliberately gloated the fact at the end. Basically saying look I made this awesome story watch as I destroy it with a baseball bat.

    There was also several things in the story itself that made me cringe.

    #1 separating two love birds and forcing one of them into indentured servitude.
    #2 convincing kids to touch a pedophiles penis, and also doing it yourself. Then convincing woman to get the pedophiles penis tattooed on there arms.
    #3 killing baby dolphins and turning them into cat food for a puzzle.

    There were others but this is all I can point out without adding spoilers.

    Great humour but a huge step back when compared to Memoria. Don't expect anything to ever make sense in this game; it never does.

    i have truly enjoyed this series, but i have no idea what happened in the final installment. through out this third half it seams like thei have truly enjoyed this series, but i have no idea what happened in the final installment. through out this third half it seams like the wrighter of the story decided to go emo. you will be disapointed all the way through the end which is horable if you played the first two games. i the ending though is a kick to the groin for everyone that has followed the series.

    now onto the good the art is what youd ecpect from the last 2 installments. it is a tang of fun and excitment that will pop from the screen its easy to get lost in the art of the game and loose focus on the main story line of the game as you click on things just to see what they can do. the music in the game is captivating and enhances the art and animation. they go vary well together.

    all in all though in the end i have to give this a 2 for working to get to this i feel betrayed by the fact i bought the first two games. also played them to get to this blunder oc a game and end of the story.    … Full Review »
