Wrap up

If you are up to find fault with it, there also you will not be kept empty-handed. Well along with good strokes of game plans and visual, auditory backgrounds, Goodbye Deponia falls short of the technical perfection, when it shows too many cut scenes and it really gets on your nerves, when you are breathtakingly waiting for the next chance. It also hampers the story and overall presentation.

But apart from this, Goodbye Deponia keeps you on your toe till the end, and its humour boosts up your energy level, when you need it at bad times.
