Primordia

I don't play a lot of point anc click games, it wasn't part of my taste. Then, why Primordia? Well... I love robots. I didn't enter the game totally blind, i saw about it on a video talking about 3 phylosophical pieces of media that contained decaying worlds and were based on technology and this game was one of these reccomendations. I immediately loved everything about it. First, the art is WONDERFUL. I'd love to do art as incredible as the one this game has. Second, I didn't know what to do and I'm not afraid to say i used a walkthrough sometimes but that didn't make the experiencie less enjoyable for me, it just helped a little. Still, for the 85% i did by my myself i loved the mechanics and how you can do the puzzles and interactions by yourself and all the characters have something to say. With that said i go to the third point: the writing. As a rookie writer this game feels AWESOME in every part of the story. It's really such an inspiration, I love it. I can't criticize the st...

A classic point-and-click adventure game that's fully voiced, has multiple endings, good dialogue, and an engaging world. The game offers plenty of hints but whenever I ran out of ideas the online walkthroughs were adequate to get me back into the story when I decided I couldn't think of anything else.

I'm never a fan of multiple endings. There will always be endings that feel moot and boring. Also, it feels odd to reload a save to try and get other endings - so I would rather just deal with the ending I got. But then you get FOMO, especially if the ending felt unsatisfying, which ruins the narrative closure. I would much rather just have a single good ending. On top of that, I definitely don't wanna end up with only uninteresting endings, because I failed to notice or make the right decisions through the game. And especially in a point'n'click games, I loathe when I can't retry something (especially if the game doesn't tell me I can't!), so I am forced to reload a save or - god forbid - play the entire game again. Despite leaving me disappointed with a slightly annoying multiple-ending choice (or non-choice), and missed options, I quite liked Primordia! The worldbuilding, art, voice-acting, soundscape and dialogue all worked very well. Especially I liked the in-world hint s...

[i]Primordia[/i]'s posthuman aesthetic presents a narrative of self-determination in a decaying world of robots and ruin. In a place where the fundamental concept of being human is not only ambiguous but forgotten (or never known to begin with), the player is left to grapple with definitions of purpose and morality that necessarily center the ontological "Other." I liked the writing and characters a lot. It's clear from the start that the player character knows very little about his origins, and the irony of that kind of existence persists throughout the game. The purpose of basic objects is reconstituted to fit a robot's worldview—a technocene whose inhabitants possess little interest in the antecedent anthropocene; theology rebased accordingly. Most amusing are inherited characteristics of accents, language, appearance, and ethical motivations that would be caricatures in human characters... except they're programmed machines based on and functionally mantling humanity. Sometimes ...

Pretty good game! I love the dystopian setting and the underlying philosophical themes. The puzzles are logical but the solutions can be hard to get if you don't pay attention. If you're stuck, ask Crispin for hints. And also remember to right click. And also explore the edges of the screen because there may be more space to go. The low res pixelated art style was annoying in the beginning but it stopped being an issue once I got used to it.

Great game!
