![]() The premise may indeed be as bonkers and outrageous as they come, but its silliness is bolstered well by the endearing details throughout the course of the game. Convincing three Goals to become one Goal is the overarching goal of the game (not sorry), but that’s a lot easier said than done. Goal’s consciousness has been split into three parts and stored to three different discs, and it’s up to main man Rufus to help Goal to become whole again and save the entirety of Deponia the process. It precisely because of this that sees Rufus once again stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.įollowing on from the tutorial segments of play, Rufus finds himself desperately trying to fix a problem that he has caused for Goal, his best friend. ![]() Rufus is a chap that’s full of ambition and imagination, but lacks the technical know-how that’s needed to execute his many harebrained plans. Rufus’ personality rubs off on a lot of people the wrong way, which may explain why he’s not the most popular guy in town. He’s not what I would describe as immediately likeable, but he did grow on me before too long. He’s that know-it-all guy that’s every bit as arrogant as he is cocky. If, like me, you’re new to the series, there’s still a lot of fun to pull from the experience regardless. There are also some moments of confusion that will arise if you’re not privy to the prior events but for the most part, this sequel does a fair job at pencilling you in. Whilst Chaos of Deponia doesn’t totally alienate first-timers, there’s some character building and jokes that don’t quite translate too well if you haven’t enjoyed the previous instalment. I’ll admit I had never even heard of this series until earlier this week, which is when the first problem with the game comes into view. The story continues the journey of Rufus as he strives to leave the planet of Deponia and move to the legendary floating city of Elysium. ![]() There’s some truly solid additions (King’s Quest) and some less than desirable additions (Armikrog), so where does the port of the 2012 Chaos on Deponia sit? Despite some clever ideas and a thick layer of comedy, it doesn’t quite reach new heights for the genre due to poor optimisation and some mind boggling puzzle logic.ĭeveloped by Daedalic Entertainment, Chaos on Deponia serves as a sequel to Deponia. We’ve seen a steady influx of these titles lately, so much so that it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Point-and-click games are hardly lacking on the Xbox One, mostly due to the efforts of Artifex Mundi and their several PC ports.
