Deponia Review - Alternative Magazine Online

In short, Deponia is a stunningly presented adventure game – perhaps the best looking traditionally animated point-and-clicker since 1997’s The Curse of Monkey Island – that has some great puzzles, funny characters and a memorable hero. The humour has stayed largely intact in the translation from German to English and the voice acting is strong too. The fact that Deponia is of a decent length (10-12 hours) and still feels like it ends too soon can only be taken as a compliment. Although the open ending may disappoint some players, there is already good news – Deponia 2 is currently in development. Deponia is one of 2012’s best adventure games and Daedalic Entertainment’s best title to date. 9/10
