Professional reviews from gaming critics
A tale of two robots.What would a world inhabited entirely by robots be like? It's a question that intrigues and sometimes scares [...]
Primordia is a futuristic point-and-click game that brought me back to the PC games of the 90s. It is a dark post-apocalyptic world where you are the last human
The interplay between Horatio and Crispin as they push deeper into this pixelated robotic realm to recover their stolen goods is a high point in an adventure that feels like a bit of a slog despite its relatively short length. Primordia never quite sold me on its experience like other some of Wadget Eye Games' more impressive releases have in the past. It's certainly worth digging into for the beautiful settings and interesting characters, but the puzzles and story don't have that satisfying hook that makes you feel like it was worth all the effort.
Only a few clunky systems, a couple of irritating puzzles, and a brief playing time let the game down, and none should put you off buying. Between this and Machinarium it seems post-apocalyptic adventures in robot civilisations are a safe bet for excellent puzzling. Well done WadjetEye, that’s another great adventure game to add to your ever-expanding catalogue.
