Deponia

Good game

A comedic traditional point & click game by Daedalic, the game is set on the trash world of Deponia. The MC is an arrogant and narcissistic inventor who dreams of escaping the trash covered surface world to Elysium, a utopia in the sky. During one of his escape attempts he accidentally causes an Elysium noblewoman to fall down with him onto the surface. Quickly falling in love with the now unconscious woman, he begins a plan to escort her to Elysium and finally escape Deponia for good. YMMV on the MC. He generally has few if any redeeming qualities, is incredibly egotistical and narcissistic and actively makes life worse for everyone around him. Writing is generally solid, humour can be hit and miss at points, there are some fun, quirky characters to meet and interesting world-building and cartoonish feel. This cartoonish feel bleeds a bit too much into the puzzles as there are plenty with 'cartoon' or 'moon' style logic which I honestly find a bit of a pain. Combined with at times a vague sense of direction, pacing isn't great. This is absolutely a game you will need to frequently check guides for unless you want to randomly throw stuff together. It's okay but the puzzle design eventually burned me out and I was glad to finally be finished with it. Oh and the Droggeljug run was really tedious. 6/10
