Deponia Doomsday Reviews
"Deponia" is full of humor, funny puzzle-solving, and with a setting that I thoroughly enjoy in fiction. For anyone who likes point-and-click adventures, this series is one for you.
The fourth installment of Deponia Trilogy is quite a game. You almost can't see that it wasn't planned and was made a lot later, but it still utilizes the humor everyone loved and makes for a great conclusion of the story arc.

A funny, silly temporal romp that is well made and well executed. Any fan of point-and-click games will enjoy Deponia Doomsday. It has a light-hearted, comedic storyline that is well written and well performed. The art style is lovely and the game performs to perfection on a technical level.
Overall, Deponia Doomsday is an expertly-crafted point and click that holds itself to pretty high standards. The production value is great, and Daedalic has created a wonderful response to fan criticism.
The fourth installment in the Deponia trilogy sticks to its point-and-click roots, with the same oddball humor, while the walking disaster that is Rufus tries to alter the past to save the future.
If you enjoyed the original Deponia trilogy then Doomsday is bound to enthrall you with its immersive story and challenging puzzles.
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.
An interesting point'n click adventure that hasn't been adapted perfectly to the controller.

If you're a big fan of the bygone heyday of the point and click adventure games the Deponia trilogy is well worth checking out...
The Deponia series’ trademark cheeky humor is back in spades this time around.
Bottom line, if you love old school point and clickers with humour like Monkey Island, then Deponia Doomsday is a decent enough port for your PS4 that won’t give you any control headaches.
Deponia Doomsday is a charming adventure that brings back all the humor from the past, but derives its puzzles on obscurities and trial and error.
Deponia Doomsday is beautiful, fun, crude, and stupid.
Graphics, sound, dialogues and settings are ok, but with puzzles so illogical and not always fun, the result is not exactly a great one.

For me, I can't help but feel like Deponia Doomsday needed to reset time just once more to undo some of its irritating writing and design so that the good qualities could shine through even brighter.
Deponia is a pretty good point-and-click adventure. It’s definitely heavily focused on being a more humorous take on the genre, and while I smiled at a few of the jokes, I rarely found anything overly funny – but humor is subjective, so maybe it was just me.
I would recommend the game, but not at full price I’m afraid as the replay factor just isn’t there. But the charming story and characters that it portrays are well worth investing in, even if it is just once.
While Deponia still remains a satisfying experience, this Switch edition is quite disappointing. Far too much expensive, as the Steam version of the game is nearly free today, it also contains some graphic or major glitches. Also, where are the sequels ?

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.
