Buy Primordia

Sometimes you need to nourish the little seed in your little mind to remember why you do what you do, even though it might lead to nothing meaningful, still costs a life-time of mastering the most complex of human endeavours. The biggest means to accomplish that so far were Choice of Robots, SOMA, The Talos Principle and, as of now, Primordia.

Funny, I never cared about Point&Click-Adventures before.

I love point'n'click adventures, but Primordia is only slightly above average. I couldn't immerse myself into the atmosphere and the whole world design was "too human". I didn't believe at all they were robots. All the characters could be replaced by humans (except Metromind, I guess) and you woudn't feel a difference. This is definitelly not my idea of a post-apocalypse AI world. However, the story was nice with interesting characters and a great sense of humour (I am looking at you, Crispin), it is definitely worth a try. 6/10

Fun game if you enjoy the point and click genre.
Liked the story and the situations. Puzzles where for the most part clear, but with most of these games I get frustrated and cheat now and then. This isn't needed though, as the game has built in mechanics for you to subvert most puzzles if need be.
Really surprised by how the world draws on very similar issues we have today in creative ways. Problems we can recognise but wraped in the game lore. enjoyable and a bit thought provoking.

Primordia is a cyberpunk game about faith. Much like in the movie Tron, the main character is a robot with a mission he forgot. A mission given by his own creator, Man.

Primordia is a point-and-click adventure game by Wormwood Studios. The main character is a robot with amnesia, but made for a very significant purpose. It is still his choice to fulfill this purpose. He can be a faithful warrior that defeats the evil progressive mind and unites the robots, or he can run away from it. In the game, the robots live under a totalitarian secularist regime, where the belief that the machines were created by a mysterious being called Man is forbidden. His faith in Man keeps the protagonist alive. It is a very interesting twist for the cyberpunk genre.

The graphics are beautiful, as well as the soundtrack. The voice acting is complete and very well done. The voice of Crispin is the best. The dialogues are funny and the developers opted for a more dynamic gameplay, allowing the player to engage in the story without huge dialogues.

One of the advantages is a map that saves the player a good time that would be wasted wandering around. Another advantage is the "automatic notes", which saves you the trouble of writing down important information. There are several ways to solve the puzzles, and the developers sought to avoid puzzles that are incoherent with the setting. There is a great internal system for tips, preventing players from getting stuck.

If you like games like Beneath a Steel Sky, or games that allow you to immerse in an engaging and deep atmosphere with unique and intriguing stories, you should give a chance to Primordia.

Positive points
* Amazing setting.
* Good writing and voice-acting.

Negative points
* The engine is limited.

Fantastic characters, setting and story. Meaningful choices with great endings. Beautiful artwork, great soundtrack, and really good voice acting.

I ejoyed this game. the art, designs and story were great but it has one problem the puzzles sometimes had very incosistent difficulty with some of them following that very strange point and click logic. if it was just me or nor reguardless it was still a great game to play that once the story got rolling it had me itching for more.

The story told in Primordia is as deep as the story that is untold. This is a sign of very good quality writting and I cannot reccomend enough to give it a try. The voice acting coupled with a few sound effects, and a very good soundtrack helps the story telling a lot.

Gameplay wise, there isn't much to say as the point and click adventure game nature kinda limits its possibilities. However, I noticed that some puzzle have several solutions, you can sometime use you sidekick to do things for you or just left click on him for a hint.

Loved it !

I held of on buying this game for a very long time due to how minimal it seemed, but after playing it I wished I hadn't done so. This game is as close to flawless as an adventure game can ever be. It has the best writing and the best soundtrack of any video game I've played and has a surprisingly deep setting and lore to it, which is impressive considering the small size of the game world. With just a few locations, it creates a realistic world that had me immersed for hours.

The story and atmosphere of the game did a remarkable job of drawing me in and building tension, but where I believe the game stands out the most is in its setting. The game takes place in a future in which life has long been extinct and Man has become a mythical deity worshipped by the remaining robots that now wander the lifeless desert that covers the earth, or even dismissed altogether as nothing more than legend. Glass and light have become precious resources and what little remains of human invention is constantly scrapped to build new robots. This is the kind of creativity that is lacking in most adventure games, and the subtlety with which it was presented was refreshing.

It was surprising to see a post-apocalyptic setting in which humans take only a background role and the nature of the world before is long forgotten. Rather than barrage the player with the history of the world, Primordia puts the story and gameplay first while allowing players to discover the lore on their own, avoiding many (though not quite all) of the tropes that plague post-apocalyptic, dystopian, and robotic science fiction settings.

The game takes itself seriously and the comic relief exists for the amusement of the characters rather than that of the player, which is a skillful way of keeping the story believable, though Crispin's lines did make me cringe in more than a few points. The primary cause of the chaotic dystopia is the degradation and corruption of the robots' programming, which becomes increasingly apparent as more of them are encountered. All of the robots from the days of the humans are dead, insane, or rebuilt to the point of having no memories of the previous era, and the world inhabited by the rusting automotons that remain of civilization is chaotic, unpredictable, and bleak. The dramatic irony of many characters' situations as well as the limited color palette contribute a depressing and hopeless tone that makes this an especially memorable experience.

Primordia is an essential contribution to the adventure genre of computer games, and one that I will gladly recommend to anyone who has an interest in interactive stories. If you are considering getting Primordia, then please do yourself a favor and don't make the mistake I made of waiting for several years before buying it.

Point 'n click goodness
Engaging story
Multi[ple endings (and some choices) Some challenging puzzles (some like DAMN, some like OH, I'm an idiot...) Wit and [b] PUNS! [/b] Achievements lend to replay-ability (I got them all!) tip: The game uses an archaic engine - use the included winsetup.exe and set the filter to 4x to get 1280x800 resolution.

I can say, without any exaggeration, that this is hands down one of the best adventure games I have ever played in my 40 years of life. I binge played it in a day from start to finish and I could not stop. It's amazing. 5 alternate endings, multiple ways to solve certain puzzles, amazing storyline, beautiful ambience and timeline, and fantastic "life lesson." 10/10. I wish I could lobotimize myself and forget this game and play it again from the beginning.
