Primordia Reviews

This is a fabulous puzzler, it is hard, I 100% needed some help but I loved the story and everything about it really. You need to check everything!! If you have an engineering brain, you may find this easier? Maybe.

I recommend this one. Immersive, storyrich, with a nicely developed world in a futuristic dystopian scenery. This is a very entertaining game for admirers of classic point and click style adventures.

The game is genuinely fantastic, from the start it nails the feeling of being in a larger world with a lot more to learn about, the two main characters are both incredibly well written, and their chemistry is strong which makes them a fantastic emotional core to the story, with really good acting to seal the deal, the whole game has this air of charisma and intrigue that kept me interested all the way, the sci-fi setting that reminded me of things like Dune is something I really enjoy, the team at Wormwood are so good at building settings for their stories that specifically appeal to me. The puzzles as a whole always make enough sense, that is when you develop a habit of rubbing every item in your inventory with every other item in case things can be merged together, I had to look up a guide for some things but it's not unlikely the average point and click fan doesn't figure it out themselves without help, especially with the hints from Crispin. The story is great and the world is full of minor details that flesh it out, my only criticism is I don't like how the endings play out, I don't like when games give you a bunch of levers to pull and each one gives you a little cutscene and sends you on your way, I did every ending and none of them in my opinion did justice to the fantastic narrative up to that point, would've loved if the main villain was more involved in the story earlier apart from one scene where they appear to basically say "hey just FYI I'm the main villain see you when you reach the end" but my feelings toward it overall were very positive, and two of the endings atleast felt like an appropriate conclusion.

I'm not that big on point-and-click adventure games, but you know what? I really liked Primordia. I really appreciate that it not only has several endings, but that they cover a wide spectrum from surrender to defiance, from bad to good to secret to perfect. That kind of nuance is what sets a story above the pack. The UNIIC will be reborn. I always wanted to fly.

Very solid point & click adventure game, especially for something made in AGS. The art is cool, but occasionally leads to 'pixel hunting' for items or clues. The endings are... fine... although all the meaningful choices are back-loaded at the very end. Definitely a classic style P&C, but an enjoyable one if you're into that.

My mortal brain needed a guide or two to solve the puzzles, but it was well worth it. Loved the art style, the characters, and the story. I got the John Wick ending, no spoilers. Can recommend if you love robots, dystopia-sci fi genres. It's a short but well made game.

This is the first Point & Click game that made me grab a notebook to write down every minute detail from the puzzles to the story as I progressed the game. I love the world-building and the lore so much. The gameplay could use some fixing… like having a button to display all the interactable interests in the area in case the players cannot missed it due to the pixelated style of the game. And for some reasons I couldn’t figure out how to read the gospel and only discovered that out in late-game by right-clicking on items. So, I was missing out alot… Also this game has a save option and you can name them which is really sweet. I will replay this without any guide to get other achivements because I want to unfold the stories myself.

this game rekindled my love for P&C adventure games, a genre i hadnt touched in years. i loved the story, characters, the extremely unique and original artstyle and same goes for the soundtrack. a point i want to emphasize is that the gameplay is especially well designed!! i got stuck more than a couple of times but then discovered i can ask crispin for help. its the first adventure game i have beaten [b]without looking up a guide[/b] :steamhappy: crazy how the simplest games can be the most immersive when everything is done right

Top-notch pixel art, narrative, and voice acting to boot. This point-and-click adventure game is a hidden gem for any nostalgic adventurer. If you liked this, also check out The Excavation of Hobbs Barrow.

Enjoyed this p&c. I liked the story, the characters and their dynamic. The dialogues were interesting, didn't feel the urge to skip. I also like that there are different endings and they actually come with unique animations and details. The puzzles were sometimes hard to figure out but I'm fine with consulting a guide. The only thing I didn't love was graphics. Like other reviews have mentioned, you do end up pixel hunting. The art and style in general fits the setting, though. Otherwise a nice game, felt like reading a short story with some extra brain exercise.
