Deponia: The Complete Journey

first of all, if u already own the trilogy i suggest not to buy this. the bonus content doesn't worth the money. if u don't have the trilogy then go for this. talking about the game, not about this complete edition, i can give 11 out of 10 for this awesome game. there is nothing more to say. this is the best point-n-click game i have ever played. but im really disappointed in this complete edition. there are many concerns regarding this edition. but i loved those funny developer commentaries. that's the only thing i enjoyed in this edition. so here are the concerns and drawbacks i found... 1) there is no way to access the new bonus content within the game. you have to go to the installation directory of the game to find the bonus content. 2) after you complete a bonus feature like the newly added rufus sculpture, goals photo or the platypus guide there is no way to access those or the unlocked cut scenes from the main menu, unless you reload a check point you made after completing the bonus. if you start a new game or reload any other check point those bonus will show as locked like you never completed those. 3) for cut scenes, you can see all unlocked cut scenes by reloading a check point or starting a new game and selecting bonus from the menu but this only works for goodbye deponia and chaos on deponia chapters. if you start a new game or reload a checkpoint for deponia, all the cut scenes except the ones just played after reloading or starting the new game, will be locked. so there is no way to see all the cut scenes for deponia chapters in one place. so the users have to go through some trouble to access bonus features and content every time. so even the over-roll of the game is superb, the over-roll of this complete edition is not good. if they had added a option to access all the bonus features and content from the main menu this edition would have been awesome. but no worries, i bought this for $5.99 when it was on sale so it was worth it :D

I'm a sucker for waiting for a complete edition. And this might be the holy grail of complete editions. You get all the original games bundled beautifully in one nice package. Oh and did I forget that there is some behind the scenes commentary to help you appreciate the games development process? Well there is! One of my first point and click games I have ever played, and still till this day one of my favorite. The story is generic at first, but it grows on you. The characters grow on you, the environments grow on you. This game will grow on you! It might not seem all that special at first, but trust me when I say that you have to play it to appreciate it. Although it might be generic in gameplay, this overall package is anything but! If you own the original games separately, then there is little to no value here. But, if you are like me and waited to play this point and click adventure...you will have a blast!

This release is a mess. Deponia games are good, of course, but this repackage of the whole saga is filled with bugs. Some miny-games are impossible to complete, there are a lot of freezes, after cutscenes sometimes the game quits to desktop, on Deponia 1 Rufus can't move, blackscreen...there are just too many issues, and the price is expansive. If you haven't played a Deponia game yet, just wait for a sale to grab the whole saga for 10€ or so. The added value for Deponia: The Complete Journey comes from developer's commentary and other little extra (some are present on Deluxe Edition of Goodbye Deponia), but the bugs are just too many to justify a purchase.

Deponia games, produced by Daedalic, are probably one of the best indie point and click games available now for purchase. This specific pack simply adds the first "Deponia", "Chaos on Deponia" and "Goodbye Deponia" all together, making them a full game. If you didn't bought any previous game from the series before, this is the ideal chance to have them all. The three parts provide a challenging experience, a lot of random and funny moments, all together in an childish, animated form.

Deponia is a adventure game that oozes classicism from every pore. The gameplay is a point-and-click like always, and it works as it always has. The script has the relaxed and humorous style popularized by Lucas Arts in all this years. Jokes occur, though less absurd in most cases seen in the past, pulling more of a laugh. However, that also means that there are more puzzles and two have some pretty illogical solutions, luckily the areas through which we operate are relatively small at a time, so you can test everything with everything. Graphically it is very nice, with a casual style that fits well to the ambience and history. The voices are well folded and kept the atmosphere very well, especially the main character and it fits like a glove. It would have been good some more music.
