Bite-sized Review // Deponia Doomsday
March 22, 2016

A fitting return visit to an endearing world
Deponia Doomsday doesn't *exactly* carry on where the original Deponia trilogy left off, but it does use some relatively creatively ways to give us the opportunity to revisit the world and characters that people loved. It's a solid point and click adventure with a somewhat convoluted story, decent puzzles and interesting (if ridiculous) characters.

What was great
- Great length for a point and click
- Puzzles zany enough for this type of game but not insanely hard
- Beautifully drawn world
- Mildly amusing (not laugh out loud funny)
- Decent voice acting

What was not so great
- Some of the minigames were a bit tricky (however, you can skip them)
- Story gets a little convoluted at times
- Very little to interact with (usually only a couple of things per screen)

It's worth commenting on the ending as some fans of the original series clearly did not like it - however, I thought in light of the first games that it was a fitting end. It gave me the feels, anyway. The ending is certainly not rushed and is dealt with with care and attention.
If you have played through the original trilogy I would highly recommend picking this up. And if you haven't played the original games - buy them immediately (enjoy!).
