Jan. 2026

A fantastic, bleak post-apocalyptic sci-fi PNC with an incredibly atmospheric world to explore. The story is intriguing, with a strong cast of main and supporting characters who are all distinct and well-voiced. The artwork is consistently beautiful, and the narrative pulls you in completely. The puzzles can be challenging—I often needed a guide. It carries a strong Neil Blomkamp–style vibe throughout, which I absolutely loved. The game has multiple endings that you can see all with a tactical save at the end. The music complements the experience perfectly, the locations are memorable, and it runs great on the Steam Deck.

Everything about this is worthwhile. The music, voice acting, visuals and writing are very well done and memorable. I enjoyed pretty much all of the puzzles (especially the kiosk one), and it's nice to see that some of them can be solved in multiple ways. I'd also recommend turning on the developer's commentary on a second run - it's very interesting to get a look behind the scenes, but there are some spoilers in there. Completionist's note: Some achievements are very easy to miss, but a second playthrough to get them doesn't take very long.

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 story as a professional person, but as a fan i can say it's really the best. I haven't finished getting all the achievements at the point of writing this, but still... 10/10 I would love to play it again without knowing what it is about. Also the music is a banger.

Review by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34633003-Gaming-Masterpieces/lists/] Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam. Is this game a masterpiece? Yes, but of course only for fans of the genre. If you are just interested in point and click adventures go here: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43642699-The-Adventure-Library/lists/] The Adventure Library The story reminds me of today's reality. One member of the ruling council eliminates all the other council members (who are too weak to resist) to become king - and then ruins the whole city due to his incompetence. Conclusion: In addition to a good sci-fi story (and an annoying sidekick) it has also decent production values for an indie point and click adventure - good (but low-res) visuals, full speech, cutscenes and a number of different endings.
