    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.

    A throwback to the genre's glory days, obtuse puzzle concoctions, awkward controls and all. [March 2013, p.78]

    There's a dark and meaningful story within Primordia and despite the rush at the end, it's a story worth hearing.

    It is not the longest game you have played, it's bit predictable but nevertheless it will entertain you. As a cure for unreasoning optimism Primordia works perfectly. [Jan 2013]

  1. Why are you not playing Primordia? Go play Primorida. It as an intelligent plot, interesting characters, various ways to progress through puzzles and multiple endings. Expand

    Highly recommended, the great artwork and logical puzzles work together to make a truly memorable experience. The dynamic between Horatio and Crispin is a lot like the friendship between Overmann and Joey from Beneath a Steel Sky, but with their own interesting personalities and quirks. And any game with Logan Cunningham voicing the main character is worth playing. Collapse
  3. Awesome game, i don´t know what is it exactly, but it just maked me play it nonstop till i finished it. It has that "something" that makes youu want more when you finish it, and that is a sensation i haven´t got for a really long time. Expand
  4. Absolutely recommended! They managed to create an interesting world supported by a solid story and great cast, if you're into old-school point&click adventure games, this one is definitely worth your time! The length isn't that bad either, it took me a little over 8 hours to finish it according to steam. Expand
