Chaos on Deponia-A slick point-and-click adventure with a sense of humor

*Chaos on Deponia *is a graphically beautiful point-and-click adventure full
of humor and quite challenging puzzles. The second game in a planned trilogy,
Chaos on Deponia follows the exploits of Rufus fighting to save his scrapyard
world of *Deponia*. The game has a beautifully drawn world, and characters
are really well animated throughout. It's fully voice acted, and the whole
script is stuffed with jokes. The gameplay in Chaos on Deponia is the same
point-and-click style that was popularized in the 90s. You move the story on
by solving puzzles, which you solve by interacting with and combining various
objects on screen. True to the genre, the backgrounds are largely static,
while only characters are animated. You can highlight everything you can use
in an area by hitting the space bar, which is very useful. Solving puzzles
can sometimes feel very trial and error, instead of being logical. This is
quite normal for point and click adventures, but it's still annoying. The
humor is constant in Chaos on Deponia. It's not the most complex humor,
relying on slapstick and schoolyard techniques. After a while this can get
tiresome, and Rufus, our hero, becomes hard to like. Hopefully in the next
Deponia game, the writers will resist the temptation to put a joke in every
line. Despite this, it's impossible not to be impressed with the detail and
effort that's been put into Chaos on Deponia. *Chaos on Deponia is a really
well made point-and-click game. It's one of the best looking point and click
games you'll play, and it's bigger and better than its prequel.*Download
