The verdict
A longer, funnier, better-looking Deponia sequel with hand-drawn art and absurd humor. Skip it if moon-logic puzzles, Rufus, animal-killing gags or buggy inventory clicks will bother you.
Great for
Fans of the first Deponia who enjoy absurd humor and don't mind using a walkthrough
Main risk
Illogical puzzles force walkthroughs, and Rufus and the dark gags can wear thin
