8.5/10 *Review is for Linux(system specs below)* I really enjoyed this game for the most part. The only issue I had was scrolling through text in the UI couldn't be done with the mousewheel; I think this might have been a limitation of the AGS Engine used to create it. It had nice stylistic art, non-intrusive background music(it wasn't too busy ), the voice-acting was really good, and the puzzles were great. There wasn't a lot of hand-holding. I didn't realize there was an Auto-Hint system(which I didn't realize was On by default), but the hints were mostly obscure, so they didn't spoil any puzzles for me; many modern games don't seem to know how to use subtle hints, and all but scream the answer to you, or use flashing lights to point to where you need to go next, rather than let you explore your environment. Some of the puzzles are very challenging, and take patience to solve, but I believe that's what makes a good Point & Click game, and this is one of them. The story is developed well, and the voice-acting, along with the background music, provide an atmospheric environment which is pleasantly immersive. This may not look as good, or flashy, as other modern Interactive Adventures(Point & Click) , but the gameplay(one of the more important aspects), provides a worthwhile experience. If you're a fan of old-school Point & Click games, and aren't prone to shying away from a challenge, this is a game you might find very enjoyable! Plus, there are multiple endings!

An absolutely fantastic point-and-click game with gorgeous art, nuanced storytelling, and a lot of narrative outcomes. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys sci-fi themes and explorations of morality.

Feels like a classic point and click adventure, but without the annoying quirks of the old games! Challenging, but the sidekick Crispin is always helpful in getting you unstuck, while not spoiling the answer to the puzzles. It's a very hard balance to achieve and they nailed it! The story and lore are great, super compelling and the atmosphere is very immersive. Couldn't recommend it enough if you are a fan of the point and click genre.

Primordia is like if the heavy hitters of the adventure game genre just kept using an old school variant of their negine up until modern day. I think it won a modern classic award and boy does it deserve it. It's a fantastic character driven mystery that holds a thoughtful and tonally varied exploration of an apocalypse where only robots survive and what sense they try and find in that world and the wide variety of beliefs they come to hold and what the build. Despite the bleakness of the setting I often found the writing fun and comedic and engaging? All the wildly different characters and how they act and speak leads to lots of fun and dynamic sessions, and there's an attention to detail -- things that might seem one off can be brought up again and it rarely felt like anything was coming out of left field. Also the art for this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gorgeous. I've been showing my friends the Goliath exterior because it is an art print you could hang up. The game has this consistent, kind of spindly and organic art style makes all of the robots fascinating to look at. When the game leans on mysticism and gravitas it absolutely is capable of pulling off the visual design to make them land. I adore it and easily will make it stick with me. It also consistently gets patched to fix any funky bugs and ensure compatibly on modern systems. I played this on Ubuntu LTS 24 and it worked great. Also, for what it's worth: I often think it's easy to assume what the protagonist of the game thinks/speaks is what the game is speaking (I think they often strongly align!) but Primordia is much more about having a wide variety of different perspectives exploring philosophical ranges of belief. The protagonist starts out more or less a religious libertarian but the game itself does not commit to any point so much as explores the rest of them. It is not at all a cheap with any of the things it touches, even with the antagonist. It's been sticking with me and I've bee talking to friends about it. As of 2026-03-20 it currently is on extra sale (from the easily worth it $10) to an absolute steal $3.

Incredibly compelling story, told through some amazing robot characters. Been a while since I've been so hooked on an adventure game.
