    Deponia didn't go to waste when Daedalic entertainment ported the game to PlayStation 4. The game is funny, wonderful graphics and great characters. The only thing we miss is the use of the track pad.

    Thanks to an intriguing plot, a rich world and interesting characters, Deponia remains a beautiful adventure four years after its original release. The controls on consoles are good enough, but the same can't be said for the launch price tag, which makes this new version much more expensive than the whole trilogy on PC.

    My main highlights of deponia are the beautifully drawn backgrounds, the english voice acting and the charismatic world building. The "family guy" sense of humor of the main character would not be suited for everyone but I have no issues with that.
    The puzzles are interesting and although some of them require moon logic, most of them are doable, the minigames can be hard but you can ignore them unless you go for the platinum.
    Regarding the port to ps4, the controls are good but a game breaking bug remains on the last chapter of the game, no clue how it passed the QA, but as soon as you see an anchovy save the game and be careful because you can get into a deadlock    … Full Review »

    Deponia looks great on the Switch and undoubtedly has a certain charm to it. However, as is often the case with these old school point and click adventures, too many of the puzzles lack any sort of logic and it all pretty quickly becomes an exercise in frustration.    … Full Review »

    I really enjoyed Harvey's New Eyes, so after finishing it, I bought Deponia immediatelly. What a disappointment. Very repetitive conversationsI really enjoyed Harvey's New Eyes, so after finishing it, I bought Deponia immediatelly. What a disappointment. Very repetitive conversations get boring real quick, soundtrack is quite bland (I can't even recall if it has any music, though I just played it a few hours before). And the worse is that it's buggy: the cursors often stuck at one item on the screen. When you want to try using multiple items on a different part of the screen, it keeps jumping back to a fix point. Gave up after about 4 hours of gameplay.… Full Review »
