60 of 177 · most liked firstThis game far, far worse than first and second part. I hated, really hated the way story went and few decisions that Rufus makes. Rufus here goes from innocent pranks level straight to Auschwitz officer and this looks and feels wrong for me. Also, ending is fked up
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's something beautiful about someone who knows exactly when to walk away. But honestly? Who cares! :p
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You’ve gotta be mentally unwell to beat this. I finally decided to write a negative review because I’ve just had enough. This is probably the most boring and bug-ridden game in the entire franchise. For context: I like puzzle games. I like point-and-click quests. I can't call myself a slow thinker or clueless vegetable either. I’ve beaten Machinarium, Syberia, Botanicula, and both previous Deponia games, and I loved them. But I can’t remember a single game where I had to Alt-Tab to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia = garbage 3/10 Stay away. Terrible. Very bad humour. Mediocre story. Annoying characters.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first two Deponia games are more than decent point & click games. Nice graphics, good humor and an entertaining story made sure that players could enjoy playing them. Characters were very well designed, although one could easily "hate" the main character in specific situations. Goodbye Deponia follows this path and has the same strenghts as the former titles as well as improved puzzles, or at least this is the impression that I had. What I really hated was the ending, though. I don't…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Link to review: https://backloggd.com/u/RedBackLoggd/review/588118/ Tl;dr - Goodbye Deponia is a slogfest that terminates this trilogy on a lackluster note. The finale somehow feels sluggish and rushed, forcing you to engage in irate puzzles that quickly give-way to a conclusion that doesn’t satisfy any of the characters’ stories. And before you come at me saying that Daedalic intended their to be a fourth part, they themselves stated that Doomsday was “paralellic,” not sequelish. While the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goodbye Deponia, the third installment in the series, marks a high point in both storytelling and gameplay. It successfully builds upon the foundations of the first two games and delivers a finale that is not only visually impressive but also emotionally resonant and thematically rich. While the previous games leaned heavily into slapstick humor and absurdity, Goodbye Deponia takes a more mature and occasionally darker tone. Rufus, still the chaotic protagonist, is finally confronted with the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well... honestly at this point (3rd game) I doubt anyone checks reviews cuz chances are you bought all 4 games in one bundle (like me). Goodbye Deponia is not that bad, but it has very problematic part which is discussed on forums a lot (Sewers). Until that point of game, everything goes in usual Deponia ways, Rufus having plans, failing them, being doofus and over all usual egoist he is. Truly the spirit of this game. Then you get to the part which honestly was really hard to play, switching…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would only recommend this one if you have played the first two and want to see the rest of the story. Otherwise unfortunately the quality of puzzles drop dramatically in this installment. It depends heavily on mini-game type of puzzles instead of well-designed point-and-click goodness, and some puzzle solutions are nonsensical, doubles the amount of trial-and-error. I felt that even the writing (excluding the usual silliness Deponia series has in its dialogue) was poorer than before. Only a…

Use community "Daedalic Adventure Controller Configuration": steam://controllerconfig/241910/2921423883 (Cog icon>Manage>Controller layout>Browse Community Layouts>Community Layouts) To fix resolution problem change the "high DPI settings" of the game executable: - Find the game executable deponia3.exe on your system (manage > browse local files). - Right-click the executable, then select Properties. - Switch to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First playthrough review time. Visuals for this third part stay true to the others in the series, with many detailed scenes and bright colors. The music stays the same, and the voices for the characters match the tone of the earlier chapters. Since this story continues the trilogy, there are more locations to visit than before, though the dark humor might be hard for some to sit through. The gameplay focuses on clicking on objects and using items to solve puzzles. The difficulty of these…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my friends who I play with said if I post a review on the game and it gets 50 likes and 50 Awards that she will buy me a new gaming chair to replace my floor mat and a new keyboard to replace my current apple keyboard. So im just gonna leave this here. Please help a brotha out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Offensive, boring, contrived puzzles and not funny. I made it through this game only because of my love for point and click games and I found the artwork appealing. Getting through the dialogue was really difficult - the protagonist is a widely unsympathetic. The game tries to be "self-aware" about this but honestly it's clear who the target audience is: delusional men whose sense of humour is scraped from nerd pop culture. Anyone who doesn't find this funny just doesn't "get it", doesn't get…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deponia 3 (or Goodbye Deponia) is the trilogy finale, that concludes the original story. All 3 games need to be played together and in order, ignoring the 4th game. German developer "Daedalic Entertainment" released the first two games in the same year, yet took a whole year to make Deponia 3. They really went all out when making the finale, it is an improvement in every regard. The game has much darker aspects, the writing is more mature and the story is dramatic, but the standout is how it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game upset me especially considering it was intended to be the ending of the story (I know there is also the fourth game). I felt like the riddles were less fun than in the previous two games and some straight up don't make sense. Characters and the story itself show little development. Jokes are often more focused on being offensive rather than actually funny. We never got to walk on Elysium The mechanic with three Rufuses was creative and fun (though still not perfectly utilized) and I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goodbye Deponia delivers the usual cocktail of chaos, charm and wishing to yourself that Rufus would simply stop. The puzzles are fun (when they’re not actively mocking you), the humor still hits and the world is as delightfully grimy as ever. The ending… well, it lands, but maybe not where you hoped. Still, a worthy farewell, even if it leaves you blinking at the credits like “wait, that’s it?” [7.5/10]
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A painful ending, but indeed an evocative one. Actually, Goal knew it wasn't the real Rufus who went to Elysium with her. Many players seem to harbour a grudge against Rufus, considering him an unforgivable bastard. They are taking it out of context. It's true that Rufus always messes things up and leaves people in the lurch. But he went all out and eventually sacrificed himself to save Deponia while others had no idea what to do. Was there anything harder than this? One can not be simply…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To everyone who refuses to recommend Deponia: how dare you deny others the chance to laugh hysterically... and then cry themselves to sleep? This is not just a game. It's pain wrapped in comedy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this is the third strike, you're dumping me just like a trashbag and why? Just because of some must- ard on the carpet, you pathetic dorkhead I assume that you humor did just bite from the dust. But this isn't over yet! Yeah you cant bet on that The last part of my tale will surely appease and change you mind anyhow turn on your deaf aid now, The story goes on, for good things come in threes. Huzzah, Good things come in threes!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goodbye Deponia was a mixed bag, where the good outweighs the bad. I am a big flustered at the ending, as it is illogical and makes little sense to me, but the journey makes the game still worth the overall experience. The game was a much smoother experience than the second edition of the series, but I did still have a few sections that froze and required me to close and restart the game. In all, it was mostly problem free. The humor was hit and miss, but targeted a wide variety of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thumbs down because Deponia: The Complete Journey exists. So this version is obscure and only good for as +1 game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/292910/Deponia_The_Complete_Journey/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game, but I'd recommend sticking to the complete journey. There is no unique gameplay here that the complete edition doesn't also have. It's only worth it if you like some of the steam specific side-stuff - i.e. badges, point shop items, achievements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →with the third entry using time travel to complicate matters even more than ever before reaching the grand finale. And grand it was, despite a misstep with one joke in particular poor taste, so much so that the game became banned (for a while). Save for that, Goodbye Deponia ended the story (8/10)
unlabelledView post →Goodbye Deponia, developed by Daedalic Entertainment, is the final installment in the beloved Deponia trilogy, a series known for its witty writing, charming hand-drawn art style, and clever puzzle design. This point-and-click adventure game wraps up the misadventures of Rufus, a brash and somewhat selfish protagonist, as he continues his quest to escape the trash-covered planet Deponia and save his love interest, Goal. The game combines humor, heartfelt moments, and challenging puzzles to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having now played this entire series as well as many other point and click games similar to this one, I can recommend this series - albeit conditionally. The interface and mechanics in this game are top notch. Perhaps it is because Daedalic has made so many point and click games before, but they've clearly perfected the genre when it comes to play-ability. Easy to access inventory, double clicking on doors to quickly move between areas instead of waiting for walk animations, even having…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Fantastic sendoff to Deponia story I'm not gonna go into details about gameplay, because what I said about Deponia 1, and 2 gameplay applies here as well. I cant emphasize it enough, its amazings how little to no moon logic there is in all 3 Deponia games. Goodbye Deponia almost kinda lost this streak of brilliance, with like 2-3 moments(one of which did force me to look up a walkthough), but its mostly logical, and satisfying to solve on your own without wasting your time, which is what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so, that's the first time when i actually write a review to the game. i didn't expect much from the first game, but here we are, already writing the review to the third game just because i loved it a bit too much. i must admit i had to THINK a lot in this game, which is a good thing actually, haha. i'm genuinely impressed by creativity and imagination of the creators. the dialogs, the music, the characters and of course THE Rufus, yeah... what could be better than that? only three Rufuses in…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the Deponia franchise but the supposed ending to the franchise is the equivalent of pissing on your head and then leaving your room with the lights left on Like I seriously struggle to see why the original ending to Deponia was this. Who in their right mind just thinks "Yeah lets end a 3 game series with a 'f u' ending :D"?? Well, at least this wasn't the actual send off for Deponia, thank god for time travel lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The perfect ending to the trilogy. The Deponia saga has been one of my favorite modern adventure games. It's classic 2d visuals with animated cutscenes similar to The Curse of Monkey Island, the protagonist being a highly resourceful person like Guybrush, but hated by almost everyone, and the intriguing setting of a trash world that is in danger is just a great recipy. The game sets off right after Chaos on Deponia. Each of the game's acts are better balanced in length and difficulty. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at the time of writing this i havent played doomsday yet. i think this might be the WORST game in the series. would i still recomend it? yes. would i recomend it as much as the other 2? probably not. while the puzzles were ok and the story was still good (i dont fully get complaints about the ending i thought it was fine) and the gameplay actually got a bit of variety, i think that one particular puzzle is making me not want to recomend this game (even tho i still am but thats simply cuz i…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goodbye Deponia is funny, charming, and emotional. The world is as colorful as ever, the puzzles are clever, and the story really pulls you in. The ending was a little expected, but it still landed well and felt like a fitting send-off. A great mix of laughs, chaos, and heart.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To all those people complaining about the humor in this game know that the developers are germans. German humor to outsiders might sound either not funny, too dark or cruel. But yeah, what they did to the black character "June" in the game is way over the line. Also how Rufus treats the little kids in the sewers could be considered child abuse. Maybe it's hilarious to germans, IDK. We should ask one. Anyways the game is fun, Rufus went super jerk mode in this installment but for some reason I…

unlabelledView post →Some of the things Rufus does in this installment are utterly despicable, so I understand why some folks feel very uncomfortable about the series in general. But I think we're not meant to condone anything Rufus does just because "it progresses the game". I WAS legit discomforted at certain parts but perhaps that was the intention. Rufus is NOT a good guy.. He is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who doesn't care who gets screwed over nor how as long as he gets his way. Him being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and getting punished…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In 2016, I bought Deponia (first game of the series) as part of a Daedalic bundle, and at a 90% discount. That game was definitely an impulse purchase as point and click games are not the type of games that I normally play. Back then, I recommended the game, but just barely, as it had some puzzles that made no sense. Eight years later, I bought the rest of the series, also on an impulse and at a deep discount. Goodbye Deponia is the third game of the series, and basically, if you liked the…
