Full Throttle asks more than Deponia, and the gap is execution.
Deponia
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A chaotic comedy adventure whose elaborate multi-step puzzles test patience with absurd causal chains.
Full Throttle
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A road-punk adventure whose few action beats wrap an otherwise solvable inventory puzzle core.

DeponiaFull Throttle
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 3
Full Throttle leans clearly harder on execution.
Deponia
Point-and-click with no timing elements
Full Throttle
Biker brawl sequences require basic timing not found elsewhere
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deponia
Comedy adventure with scripted characters throughout
Full Throttle
Linear story with scripted antagonists and no adaptive opponent
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deponia
Deterministic puzzle world with fixed solutions
Full Throttle
Minimal randomness; world state is tightly authored
Optimization8 vs 7
Deponia leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Deponia
Convoluted Rube Goldberg puzzle chains demand careful causal mapping
Full Throttle
Puzzle solutions are fixed and discoverable through systematic exploration
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
