The presentation side of the game does a great job of bringing the story to life and both the visuals and sound design definitely tick a lot of boxes.
You can tell that each puzzle in the game has had a lot of thought and effort placed into them which definitely makes completing them very rewarding. In terms of content the game has more than enough to warrant a purchase and the content is diverse enough to stop things from getting repetetive.
Whilst some of the puzzles and gameplay can frustrate a little for me I think they’ve got the perfect balance of being fun and challenging at the same time. Despite the story being very enjoyable, I was a little disappointed with the ending of the game. If you didn’t like the previous game then there isn’t anything new here that will change your mind whether you should purchase or not. I played Chaos on Deponia long ago, but it’s pretty easy to remember because I enjoyed the game considerably. As you can imagine then I was very excited to get my hands on Goodbye Deponia, and thankfully it didn’t disappoint. Once again the presentation side of the game is fantastic and in my opinion both the visuals and sound design are some of the best I’ve seen when it comes to the point-and-click genre. This then means that the story becomes alive even more which is very impressive to say the least because the story already feels very alive thanks to the interesting and very funny humour dotted throughout. I did have one small gripe in regards to the story though and that was the ending, which was a little disappointing in my opinion. Thankfully though I didn’t have too many other gripes and the gameplay once again felt smooth and offered some very unique and interesting puzzles for you to solve. The puzzles also had the perfect balance of being fun and challenging at the same time as well which meant frustration never got too high. At the end of the day then if you liked the previous game in the series then you owe yourself to get Goodbye Deponia because in my opinion this game has more going for it than the previous game and it delivers in the areas it should deliver in.
