GamingLives takes a look at the second game in the Deponia trilogy, Chaos on Deponia, to see whether it can match the success of the first.
"With Lucasarts recently sold to Disney, one could be forgiven for wondering what will happen to the realm of point-and-clicks, with the future of beloved franchises like Monkey Island up in the air for the foreseeable future. Those in the know will rightly tell you there’s nothing to worry about, as Daedalic Entertainment have long since taken the reins of the genre and provided titles that deserve to be as iconic as its nineties counterparts, if not more-so. Of particular note is Deponia, the first in a trilogy surrounding Rufus, a lazy, egotistical jerk who doesn’t think things through and leaves disaster wherever he walks – a character I found oddly relatable – and his attempts to reach the titular trash-filled planet..."
Blake Hawthorn from GameGrin writes, "Chaos On Deponia is a point and click adventure game, with a story that takes you on a wild adventure in the hopes of finding a girl Rufus likes. If you think this is a good plot point then we have different opinions, while the story may be fun, the whole premise of saving a damsel in distress is just so worn out and overplayed. Rufus has to travel to Elysium to go back to see his friends that he met on his last visit, who have been kidnapped, and must be saved. The story only took me about 10-15 hours to complete, the story was very entertaining although there were also some down points as well. The humour was very hit and miss, with some jokes making me smile while others made me cringe. The writing here was pretty good and well written overall, the story takes some turns that I really wasn't expecting."
Neil writes: "Ever since the big end of year sales, it has to be said that the Xbox bargains have been few and far between. Now though the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 16th-22nd Jan 2018 is here and it promises discounts galore. Will you find any Xbox One or Xbox 360 titles that float your boat? Take a look at the full list of bargains available for the next week - they are well worth checking out."
Carlos writes: "The point and click genre is a great place to find the best of the story adventures. After all, with Artifex Mundi and Telltale having released multiple enjoyable story adventures over the years, it’s not like we haven’t been well catered for when it comes to a memorable point and click tale. Recently however, respected developers Dadealic Entertainment decided to begin adding tales of their own to the Xbox One library, with Silence: The Whispered World 2 and now Chaos on Deponia. Is Chaos on Deponia another smashing point and click adventure for us to enjoy though?"
