#DEPONIA DOOMSDAY ISO SERIES#

I already have Deponia games for my GPD (on multiple stores to boot - IIRC Steam outright gave away the collection) and still intend to get them on Switch. I can appreciate calling a game too expensive, but I would rather that be aimed at relating to how much game there is as opposed to where else you can buy the game. Games have value and I'm not sure I agree reviewing Nintendo games in some bizarre holistic fashion that implies we all own everything. And like any new game on Switch (and it is new with the Switch at the forefront of the critisism) I have the choice of either buying it now because I want to play it, or wait till it's £4.49 or similar price.

But I'm not going to buy a PS4 so I can get it at a discount. That logic only follows if the person owns all the consoles and as a result, is a moot point because they can buy the cheapest version. Is it reasonable to expect a game that has been out on other consoles for a while now and as low as £4.49, be £4.49 at launch on Switch? It's an honest question. I am so confused about perceived value for money with games. Granted, a physical version on a Switch game card is also available, but it's impossible to ignore the fact that once again, Switch owners are paying a premium for a game which is quite old by today's standards.

Deponia, like Silence, costs £30 in the UK, yet it's possible to get all of the games in the Deponia series (Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, Goodbye Deponia, Deponia Doomsday) at a reduced price on other digital stores (the PlayStation 4 collection of all the games currently retails at £33, but on Steam it has been as low as £4.49). However, this does bring us to the elephant in the room here. The developers have said that the subsequent games in the series are coming to Switch as well, which will be music to the ears of long-time fans. Similar to Silence, the style and charm on offer goes a long way, and there's a curiosity to see just where Rufus and Goal end up next. The fun, the comedy and the fantastic art-style – all of these elements combine to make for a really enjoyable point-and-click adventure. This tone is what will almost certainly keep you tuned into Deponia, despite the occasionally flat joke. They're very fun to solve and while you do admittedly control a character who is the village idiot, it can still result in some funny dialogue when you succeed or fail these tasks. Still, the puzzles – arguably the most important part of this kind of game – are plentiful and well-constructed. There did seem a desperate need to be ‘funny’ throughout the whole adventure, and while at times it did work, many gags fell flat, almost harkening back to when The Simpsons jumped the shark. Having said that, sometimes Daedalic goes too far. Even at the start – which opens with your toothbrush running away (yes, you read that correctly) – there’s an inexplicable charm to Deponia, making you care about what happens to Rufus and Goal by the time you finish the game. The animations and the hand-drawn graphics really pop-out on an HD TV, and the level of detail is welcome as you'll have an almost-obsessive need to just explore every screen you walk into. As was the case with Silence, Deponia looks amazing, especially when played in docked mode.
