Goodbye Deponia

In 2016, I bought Deponia (first game of the series) as part of a Daedalic bundle, and at a 90% discount. That game was definitely an impulse purchase as point and click games are not the type of games that I normally play. Back then, I recommended the game, but just barely, as it had some puzzles that made no sense. Eight years later, I bought the rest of the series, also on an impulse and at a deep discount.

Goodbye Deponia is the third game of the series, and basically, if you liked the first two games, you may like this one too. The puzzles in the beginning (and also near the end) were a bit too linear for me. It felt like just going through the motions -- there were a long chain of obscure puzzles/events/actions, that can only be done in one order, that is used to slowly move the story along. Also, some of the mini games were just silly and annoying (not sure why). The puzzles do get better, especially when the story line breaks into separate paths (purposely being vague). And as with the previous games, the story line and humor are just as wacky -- so don't take it too seriously.

There are also a few non-sensical puzzles/solutions with the game. However, as this is the third game of the series, most players should be able to figure it out with a bit of thinking like Rufus, and a lot of trial and error. In fact, the game even points out how common is trial and error used. I just wished that they made the game more forgiving in regards to reaching the solution. It is really annoying when you actually figured out the solution, but accidentally left clicked instead of right clicked, or doing it slightly out of order, etc. -- you wind up moving onto something else on the list to try.

For me, this game was a bit better than the first one, but not as good as the second one. I would still recommend it though. Well worth it at a 90% discount.

As a conclusion for a trilogy, it was great. It was the most complicated one so far, but it really feels more polished. I honestly did like the story and the ending everyone complains about. It’s a really nice ending to a fun, charming adventure (yeah, ignore the fourth game).

Playing this again after 10 years !? My my time do fly.
I remember bits and pieces as I go along, it has some great moments (fave is the wash cycle) but in terms of puzzles I did find it the weakest, but it makes up for that in absurd fun.
Can recommend, even nowadays it’s quality can stand up to other games.

Deponia is a game that throws a whole range of different emotions into the mix at once.
From the first game on, I've been feeling all sorts of good things,
especially when Rufus meets Goal and he just wants to be with her on Elysium to win her love (of course, love is the top priority).
I was even a bit jealous that Rufus and Goal wouldn't be together
I love the way this game is styled. The character animations are great and the environment animations are top-notch.
All the characters have a unique feel to them and they're all drawn so beautifully.
I took tons of screenshots – there's almost two thousand in total, to be honest!
The devs at Daedalic have done a great job. The story is even a little bit unique and works really well in the game's world (in my opinion).
Too bad Rufus will never be with Goal – at least not in this reality or whatever world they're in – but maybe in some alternative timeline or something, he'll meet her someday.
Doomsday…

The story line is good, but three clones of Rufus make it a bit tougher. Goodbye Duponia has pros and cons when I compare with predecessors. Though, I liked it. When I got lost at some points I had difficulty to find help from any walk-through source since all are mixed with deprecated info. Anyway the game is good for children, if you can catch it on sale, I recommend it. By the way, it requires lots of patience.

I have to admit that the story has some casual racism and very dark humor will surely will not pass this day in age but that's the POINT the character is an arshole and a slowly changing arshole who is again slowly changing his error of his way. never have I been in the edge of the seat playing a compelling character.
The the whole plot just reached sky high like elysium level high, my god its a roller coaster of emotions and the cliff hanger just makes me wanna play the last entry even more. Huzzah, time to add a new comment in the last entire till the survivor is released

Point and click game reminds me of day of the tentacle etc.
Great humour, frustrating and annoying, ......just like I remember day of the tentacle being.
I got it for an incredibly low price (under 2 pounds) in a steam sale and after 8 hours it says i'm only 20% of the way through. So I think that's superb value.
