Fear of a bot planet
Primordia is yet another good, solid adventure game from Wadjet Games, which is shaping up to be the new Lucasarts. Set in the future after an unseen apocolypse, the world is a desolate wasteland, inhabited by Man's Children, sentient machines. The game follows the adventure of Horatio, a particularly human looking robot and his assistant robot, Crispin. While they are working on restoring a crashed aircraft to working condition, a large, threatening robot steals their power core and takes off with it, towards Metropol, one for the few remaining cities left. The pair follow in hopes of recovering their power core, exploring the wasteland and the decaying city of metropol during their quest. The plot isn't amazing but it's solid and somewhat interesting and is supported by some good, if occasionally obtuse, puzzles. The characters are varied and diverse, helped by some good dialogue and voice acting. The concept of a world run by machines after humanity is gone is well realized and adds some good atmosphere, especially since the the almost mythical status of humans to the machines makes some question if they ever existed at all(There is a religion that worships Man as a race of Gods). Notable among point and click adventure games is the possibility of several different endings, depending on how many and how you solved the puzzles over the course of the game. At least one puzzle, done the wrong way, can lock you out of some of the endings but it''s generally pretty forgiving otherwise. If you like adventure games, especially of the Lucasarts/Sierra vein or like dystopian sci-fi, you'll probably enjoy Primordia. If you've played and enjoyed the other games made by Wadjet, you'll like this.
