Deponia doomsday review11/10/2023 Thanks to its exciting story, likeable characters and hilarious dialogues and a finely crafted mixture of comedy and puzzles, Deponia is enjoyable for both, young and old. Showered in top-scores and awards, the Deponia-Trilogy, created by the developers of Edna&Harvey: The Breakout, The Whispered World and Memoria, managed to reach cult-status almost instantly. This accident kindles a new, brilliant plan: he needs to get Goal back to the floating city of Elysium – and while he's on it, he can also impersonate her sleazy fiance Cletus, who is the spitting image of Rufus for some reason. When Rufus, on one of his attempts to leave Deponia behind, meets Goal, he not only falls madly in love with the beautiful girl from Elysium he also accidentally shoves her right off her comfortable star cruiser and down to the desolate trash-planet. No surprise that Rufus had enough of that and hatches one ludicrous plan after the other to escape this bleak place. Life on the trash-planet Deponia is anything but a walk in the park. But the bittersweet ending still felt right, with Rufus making the ultimate selfless act, forever proving that he wasn't *completely* selfish.Junk, junk and even more junk. Was I sad that Rufus didn't get his "Goal"? Sure, the guy deserved a break, despite all the selfish things he'd done over the series he still came through in the end every time, and he and Goal make a good couple. ![]() And to be honest, I'm glad that that was the case. At least, nothing with any impact on the original story. ![]() Those lyrics pretty much confirmed to me that nothing would be changed. Looking for loopholes and wond'ring what if." Suck it up princess, no one cares for your tears.įor second thoughts that you're stuck with That all rivers run eventually into the sea.Īt this stage it's evident, there will be no happy end. "Living in the waste was not to your taste,īut soon you will gaze truth straight in the face, I mean, come on, the singer tells you so right at the start of the game! I didn't expect it to get as convoluted as that, but I did expect we'd end up with the same old Rufus falls to his death ending. Personally, I knew we'd end up repeating history. except for Future-Goal, who now has the oportunity to rescue Rufus from falling, because in this version there is a future and she does not crashland in Interim time. So everything will happen as it arlready happened before. He will never meet McChronicle or steal the timepod. In this new timeline one of the Rufuses will get his Shinshumas ferunungled. So in both timelines there is a Future-Goal that stole the Timepod and entered Interim time. ![]() But Rufus, Future-Goal and McChronicle landing on Elysium already happened before McChronicle even started his trip to Kuvaq. So she is trapped there for decades, growing old.īut when Rufus and Wedding-Goal finally manage to get back to Kuvaq they stop McChronicle from arriving - they have changed things so it's a new timeline from now on. When Goal enters Interim time, leaving Rufus and McChronicle on Elysium, there is no future. Old Goal explains most of it in the beginning of the Paradox City chapter. Either way, what did you think of the Trust me - No plot hole, It totally makes sense. I mean she's apparently the Future Goal that got stuck in Interim Time but that same Goal is the one that is given the Ultimatum that either loops into her dying or ends with her back in the future. Though there's the plot hole with Old Goal that isn't really resolved with all the time portal hopping. Well that's only a theory as Rufus surviving anyway may still have messed up Deponia's future contact with Utopia. So in theory if the 'Elephant' didn't cut the rope then that event wouldn't happen allowing Deponia to be mutant free and Goal and Rufus to both survive and the fewlocks to be eventually trapped in Interim Time. However that only occurs as a result of the 'Elephant' going back and enabling Rufus to find their time machine and is later made definite when the 'Elephant' tries to fix things again by giving future goal the ultimatum as it leads to the events that cause Rufus to be the sole survivor and swarm Deponia with Fewlocks. So from what we know the 'Pink Elephant' went back in time originally for historical tourisms sake and messed up so that their future doesn't exist which is a result of Deponia having been blown up by a surviving Rufus after being over-run by mutant clones. Either way I'm more confused on the whole loop can't be resolved thing and it has to end the way it did. I also feel it's cheeky of Daedalic entertainment to have us play through an another great game only to show what happened doesn't really matter as the ending is the same as the last anyway. ![]() Well 12 hours later and I'm sat here feeling lost about how it all ends.
