The good thing is that they portray each character perfectly, showing their reactions to different situations, their attitudes, as well as their facial expressions. It looks as if they are not correctly linked to the particular scenes in the game. Unfortunately, these animations ruin a bit of the game's charm as they sometimes feel out of place. Between scenes, there are some animations that show how characters actually travel. Players will also be able to see some incredible details that depict the garbage world. Rufus, Goal, and Cletus, as well as the others are very well designed, their features being quite expressive. But, considering the amount of humor and its quality, you'll be able to live with it.įrom a visual point of view, the game delivers the same gorgeous artwork, without too much difference from previews ones. Some might find it annoying and prefer to get on with the game. Still, Goodbye Deponia is quite a text-heavy game and there’s a lot of chatting on subjects that don't really have any connection with the puzzles. Players will get a lot of hints from conversations, as well as a good laugh. Talking to other characters also helps with solving puzzles. You’d better pay attention, because underneath all that sarcasm there might be potential clues. If, by any chance, you do not know what objects to combine, you'll get all the materials from Rufus himself as he always has to make a bad joke or a “wise” comment. You might be amazed at the strange combinations that are possible. Of course, as you may already know from previous experience with adventure games, items can be combined. Whether it is a knife or a living creature, it doesn't matter, everything that can be obtained can surely fit into his pockets. Rufus can pick up any object, no matter the size. The idea is that you need to think outside the box since the action does take place on a planet made of trash. Speaking of puzzles, they are quite average when it comes to the difficulty level newcomers, as well as Deponia fans, will be able to solve them. Yes, his ex-girlfriend.Īnd as all relationships don’t end well, you will witness some snappy comments between the two, each having their own opinion on how to do things.

In case you might be new to the world of Deponia, you'll find everything you need to know about interacting with objects and even how to customize your inventory, in the tutorial at the beginning of the game. The other characters have also been well crafted, each having its own personality: Bozo – always the pacifist, Doc – the constant thinker, Goal – prettier than ever, to say the least, and even the stiff “twin” Cletus leaves his mark on the game.īeing a point-and-click adventure game, Goodbye Deponia introduces the gamer to the typical gameplay of roaming through different areas and finding items that will be of help in solving the numerous puzzles. He is still the same egotistical person and he will certainly make you feel ashamed as well as amused by his pranks.īut Rufus and his “extraordinary” personality do not make the whole game. This thing will spark some “smart” ideas into Rufus' head and will lead him, as well as the rest of the characters, into some funny and dangerous situations.įrom this moment on, the player will be able to see that our “hero” has not changed at all. What is interesting is that Cletus looks very much like Rufus. Unfortunately, she brings trouble, as Rufus must face the wrath of her former fiancé, Cletus, the one that intends to destroy Deponia. The only difference is that now he has a new girlfriend, Goal. The game presents our main character with the same objective in mind – escaping the junk world of Deponia and finally reaching the floating Elysium Utopia. Just as before, things will take a turn for the worse when our main character has one of his “great ideas” and puts everyone, especially the sarcastic Goal, into some life-threatening situations. The game starts where its predecessor left off, re-introducing us to the same fun characters, most importantly to Rufus. Goodbye Deponia is, as the title so obviously suggests, the final episode of the trilogy, starring the darling Goal and the goofy Rufus. There’s certainly no shortage of point & click adventure games these days, some great, others less so, but one thing’s for sure: Daedalic’s Deponia series belongs with the first group and it has managed to stand out thanks to its unique style, wacky characters, and charming setting.
