I reviewed a game called Deponia last month, and gave it five stars because it was totally awesome. I'd like to say I'll spare you the details, but that would be a lie. I'm happy to use this preview as another opportunity to sing the game's praises. How's that for objectivity?
Everyone's got their baggage. That uncle you don't really want to talk about. Teenage years as a bullied nerd. The father that may or may not have been involved in committing you to a mental asylum, leaving you with only your frayed mind and sentient stuffed rabbit to keep you company...all with the hopes that you can use flashes of your past to recover memories necessary to escape and make sense of it all. Okay, that's the kind of baggage reserved for Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.
Welcome to the Deponia walkthrough on Gamezebo. Deponia is a point and click adventure game created by Daedelic Entertainment. In it you guide a lovable egomaniac named Rufus through a garbage-filled adventure. The very fate of world depends on how well you can cope with the nonsensical puzzles that fill it! Gamezebo's walkthrough will provide you with detailed images, tips, information and hints on how to finish the game.
I sometimes ask myself, "Do I like adventure games for what they are, or do I just like the idea of them?" My Steam library is full of them. The Dig, Indiana Jones, Loom, Machinarium, The Secret of Monkey Island, Sam & Max (lots of Sam & Max), Time Gentlemen, Please! -- I have quite a backlog. Of these games, I've played only a quarter of them to some degree of completion.
The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is not a great adventure game. But it is a great adventure story, backed by gorgeous, hand-painted backdrops and dreamy music that all comes together to create a gripping, magical fantasy tale.
While Dungeons & Dragons might be the preeminent name in pen-and-paper role-playing in North America, it's not quite the same everywhere in the world. In Germany, The Dark Eye rivals D&D in popularity - even outselling the popular genre progenitor (or so claims Wikipedia). Now the series is making a jump into the world of point-and-click adventures, and judging by the screenshots already released, it might just be one of the prettiest adventure games to hit PC's this year.
Daedalic Entertainment's quirky adventure game Edna & Harvey: The Breakout follows a young girl and her pet rabbit as they try to escape from the asylum. The game has been making the rounds in Europe, and it's finally getting a North American release thanks to Viva Media. The game is slated to launch Feb. 8, 2011.
