-"STOP NOT THE SCREWS."

Beginner Player Friendly?
I would argue this game is very beginner player friendly, they have a clear tutorial that is easy to understand and the game play is very straightforward other then maybe the occasional complex puzzle.

Game Play:
The game play is all about searching your environment and finding, combining and solving the small puzzles around to help you progress through the story.

Graphics:
The graphics honestly remind me of cartoon games from when I was a kid and I am living for it. It's refreshing and looks animated by being hand drawn. I honestly love the looks of this game and I think that it would be able to run on lower end systems.

Community:
From what I have seen there are so many guides and tutorials on how to play and if you get stuck on puzzles. For the most part everyone seems super friendly!!

How long can you play?
This game has hours of content and the story is very rich and exciting.

Deponia is a delightfully scrappy trash‑heap adventure starring a protagonist who probably shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharper than a crayon, yet somehow ends up steering the whole plot anyway. The humor hits more often than it misses, the world is charmingly chaotic and the puzzles feel like they were brainstormed during a caffeine‑fueled office meltdown. Still, there’s something oddly lovable about rummaging through this junkyard of jokes, junk and joyful nonsense.
[7.5/10]

I bought the game from bundle. Though not the best puzzle game, the world setting is interesting. However, you may find the protagonist annoying if you have no sense of humor.

Played the complete journey, was a fun game. Got this for free and who won't like to get free games.

>spends 50 cents on a Bundle for collection a year ago
>Free for limited time

10/10 would be upset and Lost 50 cents again.

Got stuck at the detonation plan, apparently that's a known bug since release. I have no other save so the only solutions would be to either restart the game or download a premade save from the devs' website. Unfortunately the game is not interesting enough: while the drawings are gorgeous the uninteresting plot, combined with an unlikable protagonist and an excessive amount of "jokes", won't pay that effort.

Not bad as free game, its funny and quite nice story

This game is a good example why the quest genre died. It looks ok at first - cartoonish graphics, backrgound music, voiceover, but the puzzle logic is made for imbeciles.

1. You need a pair of matching socks. You have 3 of them - blue, yellow and green ones, plus the bottle with detergent What should you do? Of course try to cross-color. For example, blue+green socks will make two turquoise ones. Most obvious, mix yellow and blue socks together and make two green ones, right? No. You need to put all three socks into the detergent and make TWO green ones. What's happened? Where is the third sock? Why do you need the green color as soon as you already have the yellow/blue mix? Nobody knows.

2. You have the oven and need to boil some liquid in the pot, just find the fuel, something to burn and give enough heat to boil a 1.5-2 liter pot. Solution - use 4 (four) sticky notes. I'm not kidding - all four pieces of paper will burn intensively and do the job.

Verdict.: the game made by kids for kids. But don't give it to your children, they will grow stupid.
