It was ok. The setting is so anachronistic it really hurt my immersion though. Using the scientific method on a King Arthur legend. It didn't make sense. Also it uses AI created images in places.
I'm absolutely kicking myself that I never bought the original BG1 on gog. Modding the original lets you do pixel perfect scaling to achieve the closest DPI to what the original looked like without blurring. The widescreen mod from gibberlings3 handles high res better. Heck there's probably fewer bugs with the fan patch. And then you get the new art which looks wildly out of place and not in keeping with the original art style. You can seriously find better on deviant art. Aside from visuals, the enhanced edition heavily modifies the actual gameplay with seemingly no way to play it as it was originally created. There's subclasses that didn't exist and you can't turn off. Classes and races work differently. Edit: I discovered a key for the original edition comes with this. So I'm upgrading to 2 stars. I thought about 3 but then I discovered how far GemRB has come. Seriously, if you want the best BG experience, install the original, fixpack and GemRB and you are set. If the concept of installing 2 mods is too daunting this will work but it's sad a commercial product is worse than modding efforts. Previous final paragraph left for posterity: This version probably deserves 2 or 3 stars on its own merits there is one nice improvement in loading times, but I'm giving it 1 star because they decided to make the original version unavailable. This is a deep shame for the purposes of preservation.
A 2nd rate God of War-like with cleavage instead of a muscle guy. Wish it didn't feel so floaty but otherwise it's fine.
Not bad for killing some hours. I got bored on my first play through but not before getting some fun out of it. I wish there was a little more depth to the grind but it works as a beer and pretzel game.
Primordia has everything a fan of classic adventure games could want. Interesting puzzles, memorable characters, and an intelligent, well written story. The main writer of the game said he was inspired by Fallout and Planescape: Torment, and it shows. The crumbling world and factions trying to hold it together are quite Fallout-esque. While the journey of self-discovery (and self-ressurection [of a kind]) are straight of of Torment's playbook. In fact the entire finale plays out like a love letter to the Fortress of Regrets. With those inspirations also comes a much darker experience than most adventure games are used to. While there are still jokes and moments of levity, the game is not a comedy like seemingly 90% of classic adventure games are. Altogether a profound experience, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
