In the grand SCUMM tradition...

But doesn't hold up to the storytelling of its forefathers. The level design and art style is very good if you like 90s era SCUMM games. The story will be quite engaging unless you have read at least a bit of Gibson/Asimov/Lem, if you have you may be a bit bored, as the plot is standard fare, nothing groundbreaking, quite predictable. The puzzles for the most part are well designed, but there were two in particular that were needlessly obtuse, to the point that there was no way to figure them out other than using a walkthrough or random chance. The latter half of the game is padded by a lot of unlocking doors. I mean a ridiculous amount of the last half of the game is spent not advancing the story or learning new lore, but trying to figure out how to unlock some door or other. Also hampering the story is the fact that all the characters are nearly emotionless (they have sarcasm chips) robots which are hard to connect to or sympathize with.

Great story, very hard

While the story is good the puzzles are usually non-obvious and its *very* easy to have no clue where to go next.

Too frequent crashes

Also really unforgiving for a point-and-click there are mistakes you can't undo

such a beautiful, thoughtful game

primordia takes the idea of a ruined, apocalyptic landscape, populates it with robots [some funny, some quite serious] and then proceeds to take you on a journey the likes of which you're not likely to see in aaa gaming. horatio nullbuilt and crispin horatiobuilt live together in a broke ship called the unniic. when their power core gets stolen, they attempt to get it back, slowly unraveling some of the mysteries surrounding this dying world. it's a point and click game that is wonderfully executed with beautiful, ambient music and a wonderful voice cast to carry it along. the story is a masterstroke of careful plotting, the game slowly revealing itself in slow layers. i have two issues with this game: firstly, the graphics are fairly drab as a result of the colour palette used. i /do/ get the choice of colour palette, but i feel like the designers went a little overboard. secondly, not all crispin's hints are especially useful. very occasionally, i had to break from the game and give the puzzles a good, long think, because while crispin is helpful, he isn't always helpful enough. [and sometimes vague to the point of distraction.] but this game is well, well worth your time for it's story alone and for the banter between crispin and horatio. i am very much looking forward to the next wormwood studios project if they're going to keep producing slow, methodical, thoughtful games like this one.

Great story, troubling puzzles

I'm not a fan of point and click adventures, I tend to give up when I feel too frustrated by impossible puzzle logic. On the other hand, I can forgive this frustration if the game has a great story, great characters and a surprisingly deep message. Primordia is one of those games: I felt rewarded as I gradually discovered the hidden plot; nothing as revolutionary as Planescape Torment, but still an interesting tale that deeply reflects the troubles of modern society. The writing is excellent and the game has some memorable characters. The browns and greys add a lot to the atmosphere, though I believe the retro huge-pixel-graphic is a little excessive. Most puzzles can be solved with common sense (like using a crowbar to open things) but some are really tough, so I kept a walkthrough handy (not a fan of frustration as I said). TL; DR: I recommend playing Primordia rather than watching a Let's Play video of it.
