Deponia Doomsday

Fun game, but the plot was very confusing... I am currently waiting for my future self to travel back in time and explain everything.

Videogioco che segue la trama dei capitoli precedenti di Deponia! Peccato che non sia doppiato in Italiano!

Bildiğiniz Deponia. İlgi çekici bir hikaye. Komedi, heyecan. Hepsi var. Adventure sevenler mutlaka oynamalı.

Even though I think that the ending could be more a happy one, I still find this game nice to play. I got to see new characters, new designs of Goal and similar, all of which are well thought out and show that the game creator put their efforts into them.

I have a mixed feeling about this game. If you have played (and loved) the Deponia trilogy, this game may be not as fun, and much more confusing. For the record, in the first 3 games, I only sought for the guide like once or twice, and it was always because I forgot to pick something up. But in Deponia Doomsday, many times I had no clue what to do next, even after I interacted with everything again and again. Some of the familiar elements are missing in this game too. Like the songs from the narrator every time we enter a new location, gone. Or the self-planned map of Rufus, gone too. On top of that, Deponia Doomsday adds many timed sequences, where you have to re-do everything when the time is out. Maybe it helps with the narration of the [spoiler] time-loop and time-reset [/spoiler] story, but for a puzzle game where you have to think creatively, this adds more stress than fun, and makes the game much more tedious, at least for me. As for the story, well, some may like it, some may not. For me, it got better when it came near the end. And although it's not the ending everyone is expecting, the story really lets you think about the meaning of [spoiler] acceptance [/spoiler], which adds emotional weight tbh. If you really like time travel and its mind-bending plots, you can give Deponia Doomsday a try. Just don't expect this game to be on par with the others. I still love Deponia franchise, still love Goal and Rufus. I just wish the Deponia Doomsday had not deviated too much from the first three games in terms of gameplay and puzzle design. I also wish the game could have a more open ending, so that we players can hope for our beloved characters. It's sad that Deponia Doomsday really concludes the journey, with apparently no more room for future instalments.
