![]() I feel like delving into much of the plot of Goodbye Deponia might spoil the fun for players old and new, largely because the entire experience is pure story, and to try to tell it in short would be unjust. And to see him end up, somehow, as the center hero of all these hijinks is the most hilarious part of all. It’s quite a blast to watch these poor people have Rufus inflicted upon them. Fortunately for Rufus, being a good person and being a good character are not mutually reliant. Oh god, Rufus, do not do what I think you're thinking about doing to that parrot!Īnd yet, Rufus is a fantastic character, thoughtfully crafted and a perfect counterbalance to the somehow sane (mostly) cast of supporting characters. ![]() Hell, I barely even want to play as Rufus. You would not want to be friends with Rufus. You may ask yourself, “what just happened?” Well, no one knows, but it’s Rufus’ fault… somehow. He’s overly self-interested, a con man, ignorant, insufficient and slightly sociopathic. ![]() And not in a “roguishly charming lady killer” kind of way. Our main character, Rufus, is not a very likable guy. No matter how intriguing the puzzles, or how inventive the mechanics, these won’t amount to much fun if we’re not vested in the characters and their adventures.įortunately for us, Goodbye Deponia (as well as prequels Deponia and Chaos on Deponia) is absolutely brimming with the kind of entertaining hijinks that are required for a solid point-and-click title. If these cinematic elements are phoned in, all that’s left is point, click, snore. There is no mechanical action, and so all of that engrossing entertainment must come exclusively from a narrative of extremely high quality. No genre of games relies more on good storytelling that point-and-click adventures. Goodbye Deponia, the third and final installment in the series, holds true to fan expectations, and delivers a fun, silly and hilarious adventure pointedly designed to entertain all ages. Throughout the franchise, the games have always blended a fantastically crafted story with classic point-and-click adventure mechanics and engrossing puzzles.
