How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (Metacritic) | – | 80 | 6 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 89% | 83 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 83 | 8 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 81% | 75 | 7 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“The Deponia trilogy turns out to be very good at goodbyes. If you enjoy LucasArts-style comedic games, this series, and especially the final game, will provide hours of tongue-in-cheek unconventionality.”

“The story tries to be too dramatic in parts, with a few out-of-place dark moments and a slightly unsatisfying ending that seems entirely written to tell me off for saying that Rufus was a selfish unlikeable dick (you’ll see). ”

“Unfortunately, Goodbye Deponia is an interesting game wrapped up in a rather frustrating point and click adventure.”

“Goodbye Deponia is the final part of the epic Deponia-trilogy. Rufus and his companions manage to give players a satisfying conclusion with lots of humor and tricky puzzles.”

“Unfortunately, Goodbye Deponia is a wasted effort by Daedalic because it's marred by a series of bad moral decisions, and the protagonist is the epitome of unlikeable.”

“ a perfectly serviceable adventure with some truly funny moments, but they're broken up by too many long, drawn-out segments that add little but minutes on the clock, and the finale is more of a sudden stop than an actual conclusion. The net result is an unfocused experience that feels more like just another chapter in an ongoing series rather than the final piece of a fast-paced comic trilogy.”

“All in all, Daedalic have crafted an excellent adventure that does justice to the series, topping it all off in a satisfying manner. It even leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation in the end.”

“Daedalic saved their best for the last episode. Goodbye Deponia towers over the previous installments. It's clever, funny and complex. [Issue#236]”

“Goodbye Deponia is a fun, challenging and smart graphic adventure. Maybe some of you won't appreciate a too uncomfortable and unpleasant narrative, but you will find much humor, original mini-games and great puzzles too.”

“It’s a shame that it’s so often frustrating and inscrutable, and a bigger shame that some of the humor skews toward the cringe-worthy. Goodbye Deponia feels as though this trilogy never quite made it to its own comedy Elysium, even though it was capable of reaching those heights.”

“Goodbye Deponia succeeds as the weakest entry in the franchise, with moments that rival the best. In many ways, this third entry has taken some tumbles, with neither puzzles nor characters as imaginative and challenging as the watermark left by its predecessor.”
