For adolescent males only – Deponia Review

Although the graphics and voice work were nice, this was way too old-school for my taste. The touch controls were particularly frustrating - if you don't hit the exact minuscule spot for an action, nothing happens, which caused me to have to use the "show all possible actions" button too often, really spoiling the fun for me. A lot of the humor is more snarky than funny, and the mysogynistic comments to and about the hero's girlfriend in particular got real old real fast. Actions weren't particularly intuitive, and there were too many choices and possibilities to sift through without being able to make progress. Some of the actions didn't make a lot of sense, sort of along the lines of the old "hit the dwarf with the stolen violin and pick up the extra bowling pin" logic from way back when. I got fed up with it and didn't bother to finish.
