I have played Deponia and its sequels three times and I'm en route for a fourth play through. The story, writing, and characters are charming, though I suspect Rufus might be a little annoying for some folks (personally, he's my favourite type of horrible gremlin protagonist). The puzzles are ridiculous but if you have any experience in point and click adventures, than you know what you're in for. If not? Be prepared for some real kooky logic. And don't be afraid to check a walk-through.Aside from the dialogue and a surprisingly gut-wrenching story, I think one of Deponia's highlights is the atmosphere. Taking place on global junkyard (haha, relevant much?), there are some gorgeous, colourful but gritty backdrops, inventive reinterprations of common every day items, and music that sounds like it was inspired by rooting through the dumpster. I promise that's a good thing.Honestly, Deponia is my all time favourite game series and I say that as someone who didn't touch adventure games until some friends convinced me to try it. Much love to the team! <3
