Hum... It's OK. This is a point-and-click game with humor as the backbone. The graphics are good. The music is decent. The story? Well, not so easy to follow—it helps a lot if you’ve played the previous games to fully get what’s going on.
No bugs, but I did run into some crashes during the last part of the game.
Overall, it’s entertaining. The humor is kind of juvenile, so expect a few chuckles here and there, but don’t go in hoping for belly laughs. The puzzles? A mix of too easy and "what-on-earth-is-this-moon-logic." Honestly, it’s kind of a thing with this franchise—crazy, repetitive, and sometimes ridiculously long puzzles. You’ll end up clicking everything, trying random combos, and eventually giving in to a guide. Let’s be real: if it weren’t for the comedic vibe, this would probably get a lot more criticism.
The story is funny but really easy to lose track of, especially if you haven’t played the original trilogy. There are cards and achievements, but man, the achievements are the worst kind—they’re super obscure and force you into multiple playthroughs.
It’s a semi-casual pastime. The characters are fun, and they’ll grow on you. Plus, they’re working on another Deponia game, so the franchise isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I’d recommend this, but you need patience—a lot of patience. Rage-quitting? Possible. Still, you’ll probably walk away with a mostly positive experience.

Great Game, don't listen to the negative reviews. This is a classic Deponia game just like the first 3. Definetly worth it. If you played the first 3, this is a must.

So this one I still liked but it was a bit... unnecessary. Without spoilers this game feels like the dev just really didn't like how people disliked the ending of the trilogy and just said "Fine I'll give you a new ending; but be careful what you wish for!"
It still felt good like the other games and was pretty cool with the whole premise of going back and forth in dimensions and time. However the whole game you get subtle and not-so-subtle metaphors and hints to the dev angry with the community. I still felt it was rather tongue and cheek and this was an excuse to make another Deponia game after it was done. Still I think the story overall doesn't change a whole lot unfortunately if you thought the ending of the third game was either bad or sad. This doesn't end any better; though maybe you'd just be happy to play more games.

It often happens that sequels of already completed stories are no more than pitiful attempts of "riding" the shadow of success of the main story. Here, this is definitely not the case. This game has managed to twist around the plot of its previous main story by intriguing and interesting way, which also filled some holes and misses in the original story.
P.S. Disregard the playtime, I played this whole franchise early out of Steam and here bought it just for sake of my game collection.

The best Deponia game and fixes a lot of the writing issues of the first three while keeping everything good, loved it.
Only issue is that a lot of the story beats won't be impactful unless you've played through the first three games and were able to suffer through the protagonist for that long. Still, the world, comedic tone, and great art direction make this an absolute treat to play just like the last few titles.

First: I recommend all the Deponia series. It is a great fun starting with some crude ideas evolving to an amazing story.
There are a lot of jokes in there (not everyone understandable by kids) and a lot of puzzles to be solved in different manors.
After having played the entire Deponia series I can say something about its evolution.
Each game was getting richer in content, in ideas, in complexity and in size.
This last title sure made a jump forward in all aspects. The artwork evolved too ... I liked it from the beginning but it also changed a bit and added sort of comic style elements.
I was very happy to find the voices which I knew from the older titles.
The only thing I sometimes disliked was when the puzzles are suddenly depend on the order of things to be done or rely on a to tight timing. You have got all things you need, you tested every possible combination ... you got stuck and the only reason is that two things have to be done in a different order (same scene!).
I had only two bugs appearing in the entire series!! But also these could luckily be solved through other users guides.
The ending of the series has went philosophical. For me this was a bit sad, but this depends on you.
In total ... a lot of game, fun and artwork for your money!

By far the best Deponia Game out there! The humor and art direction are as always just a delight and the game is even fun to complete (as long as you ignore the 1001 Jackalopes Achievement)! Among Point and Clicks its definitely a must play!
