Okay, so wow right? A NEW Deponia game! After the ending of the third game I was pretty sure that was all there was going to be of the franchise. Anyway this isn't going to be a super indepth review, i'm just gonna state my feelings on this game and how it impacts the previous 3.

To start off, this is a good game. It's funny and strange like the other three. Its feels like the devs never even lost touch with how this series is supposed to be presented like or how to write for it.

Thats pretty much it for the review portion of this.


Now for how I feel about this game and its inclusion into the series.

Warning heavy spoilers below.






It doesn't need to exist. There never needed to be a fourth game. You just end up ending the story the same way again as the third game did. This game was pretty much just the writers way of addressing the complaints of the players on the ending of the third game, which to be honest I really liked it. I was happy with how the series ended with Rufus sacrificing himself in order to ensure everyone on deponia and elysium were able to live together in relative peace. I know of course the writer could have made the story to where Rufus never had to sacrifice himself but they didn't. I know the appeal of wanting a happy ending too, I mean anyone who is interested in buying this game would have played the previous ones. I really wanted Rufus and Goal to have a happy ending where they are able to be together and be happy, but I know that not every story has to have a happy ending.

While I really enjoyed this game and I do not regret buying it I don't think I could recommend it to fans of the original trilogy.
