![]() Challenging and Fun PuzzlesĪ point and click adventure can only really be as good as the puzzles themselves. All-in-all, you’ll want to listen to everything everyone has to say. His buffoonish take on the world is ridiculous, but somehow relatable - and you can definitely see from the dialogue of the surrounding characters that they see right through his BS. Rufus likes to think he knows exactly what he’s doing, but every choice he makes seems to have consequences that lead you to even more puzzles you have to solve. This dynamic makes for a comedy that never really slows down.Įven the tutorial at the very beginning of the game hits you with some excellent lines you don’t want to miss. Rufus has a lot to say about what he is doing throughout the game, and the surrounding characters have a lot to say about how stupid they think he is. Hilarious Dialogue Brings the ComedyĪlthough the story and the puzzles are entertaining in and of themselves, it’s the dialogue that stops this point-and-click adventure game from becoming stale at any point. The classic tale of rich elites wanting to destroy the lives of the poor underclass becomes a lot more real when you play as a character who finds himself stuck between the two. Rufus has been spending his whole life feeling like he doesn’t belong on his planet, only to be forced to have a hand in its fate. While the story itself has been done before, it’s the struggle of the main character that really brings it to life. His attempts to escape the planet end up putting him smack-dab in the middle of an evil plot to destroy everything he’s ever known. You play as a rather doofy, yet resourceful young man who still lives on the junk planet of Deponia, but is constantly looking for a way off. The game takes place on a junk planet called Deponia, which was originally inhabited by most of humanity before a group of elites ascended to a floating city called Elysium. What makes Deponia worth playing isn’t the main character so much as the story itself. It had all the right amounts of ridiculousness that reminded me a lot of the Monkey Island games, but without the ridiculous load times between screens. Although there are many critics that think it didn’t port well, I personally enjoyed every minute of gameplay. Deponia Reviewĭeponia was originally published in 2012 by indie developer Daedalic Entertainment and ported over to the Nintendo Switch in 2019. With witty dialogue, fantastic characters, and entertaining puzzles, Deponia is absolutely worth playing in 2022. If you’re a fan of indie games on Nintendo Switch and enjoy a good story-driven adventure, I highly suggest you play the Deponia series. ![]() And that’s exactly what Deponia was for me, a glorious point-and-click adventure on the Switch I couldn’t stop playing. ![]() These are titles that have been around for years that I never would have taken a second glance at if they hadn’t been ported over to the Switch and been made so convenient. One of my favorite aspects of the Nintendo Switch console is how easy it is to find and play indie games I never knew existed. ![]()
