![]() ![]() For Deponia, this wandering and trying random things lead to a lot of repeated audio cues that started to grind on my nerves (probably because I’m getting old) that wasn’t there during my first playthrough. In other words, one of the “bad” kind of puzzle games that really hurt the genre back in the height of its popularity. After spending time with Silence and the beautiful hand painted backgrounds and a story that flowed just right with the puzzles built in, it was jarring to go back to Deponia.ĭeponia is the more of the classic wander around and collect everything until you find the random items that solve your current puzzle kind of game. Where the game did not age well is with the gameplay and the fun factor. When docked or undocked, I did not notice any drops in framerate or overall quality, so feel free to play as you feel most comfortable. When the Switch was detached as a handheld was when I had the most fun with this game since my TV is so far away that I can’t see anything without the Hubble Space Telescope. As an aside, I have never played a Daedalic game that has had bad graphics. So the graphics are still perfect since they are meant to be cartoonish and timeless. Now that the brief, spoiler free recap of Deponia is out of the way we can get to the review. Anyone from a small midwestern town has heard the “I’ll leave this backwoods town, this time” before the person ends up moving back in a couple months. Rufus, our plucky main character has hatched a plan to escape Deponia. I’m realizing how old my references are now and I think I found a gray hair in my beard. Deponia takes place in a land of garbage that looks straight out of the movie Idiocracy. ![]() Before I go too far down that rabbit hole, allow me to pull back for a moment. The game is exactly as I remember it with the goofy character Rufus and all of the double entendre quips that Daedalic uses. Deponia has, well…not aged well to be honest. The first was Silence: The Whispered World 2, which was phenomenal. Well, Daedalic got ahold of me again recently and asked if I could review a couple games on the Switch which have been specifically remade for that platform. It got a very high 4.5 GIN Gems and that marked the first of many games I would review from Daedalic. But enough about me, you are here about the Deponia review for the Nintendo Switch.įor those whippersnappers who were not reading GIN back in 2013, I did the initial review for Deponia on PC. Hell, I might even start a Twitter account just for you guys to talk, debate and, let’s be honest, insult me on video games. Well, dearest readers, this year I am taking more time to do reviews so I can connect with all of you awesome people. As the online editor, I have been having to do a lot of administrative things behind the scenes which has cut into my review time. For those of you who are long time readers here at GiN, I would like to say hello and thank you for being a reader for so long.
