60 of 86 · most liked firstI generally had fun with this game, but unfortunately I also ran into that game-breaking bug that straight up stops you from progressing in the story. It's especially sad that the devs have said they're not putting any more investment into this game, yet it's still listed on Steam and still generating revenue for them. Would've loved to see more, but starting the whole game over from scratch just isn't an option right now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a bug about an hour into playing that prevents you from progressing anymore, therefore the game is impossible to finish.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hilarious, charming, and chaotic point-and-click adventure with gorgeous hand-drawn visuals. Rufus is an unforgettable, egotistical mess, and the puzzles are creative, fitting the unique junk-planet setting. If you love classic adventure games and quirky humor, this is a must-play. A trash-tastic masterpiece! 9/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a point-and-click puzzle game, Deponias difficulty is way too high. Its almst impossible to not get stuck without lookin up a walkthru, and lots of the puzzles r so outta the box that u cant posibly figure em out. The mc Rufus is trashy written, hes selfish and greedy. Its hard not to hate him. The art style is rly solid, it mayb be more successful if it was turned into an animation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not play this without a guide. Some of the puzzles are completely insane. Outside of that I really loved the art direction and the humor in this game. Just play it with a guide on the side and enjoy the ride
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why you should or should not play Deponia What is Deponia? Deponia is a point and click puzzle game where you play as Rufus who's just trying to get out of all this junk! Quick Pros ✔ Interesting story ✔ Memorable characters ✔ Good world building ✔ Well written dialogue ✔ Satisfying progression system ✔ Unique mechanics ✔ Easy to learn controls Quick Cons ✘ Sometimes there is no clear direction on what to do, however this is a puzzle game and that is its purpose is to make you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And fourteen years later, Deponia is still one of greatest point and click adventure game in Steam. Now, IT IS FREE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia is a delightfully scrappy trash‑heap adventure starring a protagonist who probably shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharper than a crayon, yet somehow ends up steering the whole plot anyway. The humor hits more often than it misses, the world is charmingly chaotic and the puzzles feel like they were brainstormed during a caffeine‑fueled office meltdown. Still, there’s something oddly lovable about rummaging through this junkyard of jokes, junk and joyful nonsense. [7.5/10]
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Daedalic Entertainment. If you are going to claim it's "ridiculous" to expect an old game to have bug fixes, then you should tell that fact to anyone who might consider buying your broken trash. You won't so I will. This game is broken. Do not buy it.

unlabelledView post →This game is a good example why the quest genre died. It looks ok at first - cartoonish graphics, backrgound music, voiceover, but the puzzle logic is made for imbeciles. 1. You need a pair of matching socks. You have 3 of them - blue, yellow and green ones, plus the bottle with detergent What should you do? Of course try to cross-color. For example, blue+green socks will make two turquoise ones. Most obvious, mix yellow and blue socks together and make two green ones, right? No. You need to…

unlabelledView post →Charming point-and-click adventure with witty writing and a playful world. Puzzles are clever without being obtuse, and the characters carry the humor. If you like classic adventures, this scratches the itch nicely
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia: The Complete Saga PROS: puzzle design, art, some real laughs in games 1-2. CONS: story builds toward nothing, "bittersweet" ending is just bitter, sequel exists to retcon the ending and fails to, beyond bad writing in the later games. About characters, the writing wants Rufus to be a compelling anti-hero but mostly just writes him as an irredeemable ass with zero narrative accountability, other characters suffer for his choices constantly, the game rarely makes him pay for it. Then…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy classic point and click adventures like King’s Quest, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy Deponia. The game presents a beautifully crafted world full of personality, a fun and quirky story, and a wide range of puzzles that keep things interesting throughout. One feature I really appreciated is the ability to highlight every interaction point on the screen, which means you don’t have to endlessly sweep the mouse around hoping to find something clickable. Almost every interaction…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent point and click game with very hit or miss humor. If you care about getting all the achievements, this game has one where you have to replay the entire game in gibberish aka "Droggeljug" mode (or download the savefile from right at the end of the game from the developers website). Linux version of the game works without any issues.

unlabelledView post →Quirky. Challenging. Niche. Deponia is a classic point-and-click adventure, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you mostly enjoy fast-paced action games, shooters, or cinematic story games, this probably won't keep your attention. The gameplay is slow and revolves around exploration, dialogue, and puzzle solving. The comic-style art looks good, and the story is actually quite good. It was the main reason I kept playing. However, the game is genuinely difficult. It gives almost no clues…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR – funny, frustrating, but in a good way I really enjoyed Deponia, mostly because of how dumb (in a lovable way) Rufus is and how ridiculous the whole junk-planet setting is. A lot of the fun comes from just clicking on everything and reading the dialogue, because the game keeps throwing jokes at you even when you’re just trying to combine trash with more trash. The point-and-click puzzles can get pretty weird sometimes, and yeah, I definitely had a few “how was I supposed to think of…

unlabelledView post →Received this for one of Steam’s promotions. I really wanted to like the game but I just don’t. Full disclosure, I did not finish the game. I can’t bring myself to finish it. I found Rufus, the main character, to be irredeemable and painfully unfunny. And the rest of the characters behaved much in the same way— pompous, antagonistic, and unfunny. The game assumes that you’re going to cheer for the characters and want to progress the story, but I just did not feel compelled to attach myself to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Droggeljug tl;dr Some of the worst moon logic in P&C games with beautiful art and voice over. Get this game if it's 60% off or more and you don't mind the frustration (or playing with a guide open). I bought the game for a dollar and for that price spent a mostly enjoyable 10 hours with it thanks to liberal use of a walkthrough. Pros Beautiful art, nice animations, and great VO. The world and story are engaging. All the characters (except the protagonist, see below) are well written and fun,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We can talk about this game being a bit charmless and not very funny and all that, but I want to focus on one particular thing: when I hear a voice-actor read a line with the inflection in the wrong place I just *know* that the actor wasn't given the full context for the line read. It's not their fault, it's a lack of direction for the actors and it makes the work feel amateurish and awkward and it's easily remedied and it drives me absolutely nuts. In all fairness, Deponia has decent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia was my first game in the "point-and-click" genre, and it literally hooked me from the very first minutes. The story turned out to be engaging and at times even touching - closer to the finale I even felt a slight sadness because of some plot twists. The humor deserves special attention: it is absurd, lively, and truly memorable. Many characters look like “walking memes” with their own unique traits, and this is what largely shapes the game’s distinctive style. And of course, Rufus - a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got stuck at the detonation plan, apparently that's a known bug since release. I have no other save so the only solutions would be to either restart the game or download a premade save from the devs' website. Unfortunately the game is not interesting enough: while the drawings are gorgeous the uninteresting plot, combined with an unlikable protagonist and an excessive amount of "jokes", won't pay that effort.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was "free to keep", great stuff. The animations and dialogues are quite nice, but I just didn't have the motivation to keep playing right now, maybe later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun but ran into bug with the magnet board, this completely locks up game progression. Daedalic offers a save game download but I can't be bothered at this point. Hopefully the next game in the series is still working. Honestly why push this game out for free with such a huge bug? Just take it offline. Terrible first impression.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game from bundle. Though not the best puzzle game, the world setting is interesting. However, you may find the protagonist annoying if you have no sense of humor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, recommend the game, it's witty and enjoyable, BUT save sequentially so you don't have to restart if you run into a show-stopping glitch (ie. freezing magmets on the board).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring, and everyone says to use a guide to complete the puzzles because they're completely convoluted. What's the point? No thanks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This title, as well as all the other ones in the saga share a handful of characteristics that make them the best modern-era point-and-click games, they are: -A protagonist which is both very charming and a complete idiot -Incredibly gorgeous artwork -Very good plot (although I gotta say the end of the whole saga is rather disappointing) -Beautifully crafted puzzles which are very satisfying to complete -Very well-made character personalities (Lottie, Toni, Bozo, Cletus and McChronicle to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Murabaa is definitely inspired by Rufus from Deponia, the point and click game. Who is acclaimed as one of the WORST protagonists in personality by a few game reviews... but I personally liked him. I stuck through all four games and rather liked him. (1/5🧵) #AwesomeCharacters

Game got way harder real quick. things didnt make sesne, that being said i do really love the humour and the story was pretty good. definetly the hardest point and click game. i basically gave up and started using walkthrough. still leaving this a thumbs up cause there are crazy freaks out there who might be interested in solving this ♥♥♥♥ without the guides. 3/5
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going back to my roots in drawing. Simple line art drawings of characters I like. Toni from Deponia, a point-n-click adventure game that I tried to play before, but got stuck. I'm not stuck anymore. Toni is a red head with an attitude. One of my favorites. 👀 #art #lineart #deponia
unlabelledView post →I Was Not Harmed by Any Magnets During My Playthrough Deponia is a great point and click adventure with a hilarious story, charming art style, and some solid voice acting to boot. Who doesn't like being part of a great cartoon adventure? The only downside is that some puzzles are a bit mundane, while others are so flabbergastingly obscure they had me scratching my head. The post office puzzles, in particular, completely confused me. If you like point and click adventures, this is…

unlabelledView post →The game was 100% off so I picked it up and although some of the puzzles were nice and I finished it after only using the guide once, I don't recommend paying for it. I didn't think it was funny at all (I only chuckled once) and it's not at all clear what to do at the beginning of each chapter. The song between each chapter is annoying and if you skip it, it automatically skips the beginning of each chapter and every time you click on something to check you get the same unnecessary joke. Let's…

unlabelledView post →This game has such a great atmosphere, and it’s really funny with some great characters, but unfortunately I can’t play it without using Google. I’ve spent around 5 hours in the game constantly trying different things, and whenever I reach a completely hopeless situation, I end up turning to Google. At this point, I’m basically following a guide step by step. Obviously, it’s not fun if a game doesn’t make you think at all, but this is taking it way too far. It’s simply not enjoyable. I’m…

But coming to that conclusion, as well as knowing the…

I would say close to half of my play time was wasted due to known issues that I only discovered by searching the internet. I understand, this game came out over a decade ago, I get that. However, there are several technical issues with the game that made me waste more than a couple hours. The worst type of issues too, ones that break the progressive story but don’t actually cause an error. Unless you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a reason this game is being given away for free — it's boring and a real drag to play. One of the weakest point-and-click games I've ever played.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia is a point and click adventure game. Our egotistical protagonist lives on a junkheap planet and is desperate to escape to Elysium; a utopian city that hovers in the sky. Interesting that some of the concepts in the Elysium film (2013) are very similar to this game. Deponia is a typical game of its genre. It carries the tradition well and even attempts to improve on the genre by adding cinematic action sequences (ok there was one). Puzzles are logical and well crafted. Attention to…

This discount is set entirely by Deponia's developer Daedalic Entertainment, with zero input from Valve. Stop crediting Valve for making consumer-friendly choices that they didn't even make.
