It’s one of the most effective and smoothly-integrated hint systems I’ve seen, providing a gentle nudge in the right direction without the shameful stigma that comes from a straight-up walkthrough. And if you do find yourself stuck, you can consult Crispin for advice and suggestions that sometimes actually prove useful. The puzzles are generally logical and relatively simple, ranging from the standard “use this on that” to more creative (and fun) challenges like a hunt for a long-forgotten AI buried in the twisting bits and bytes of a computer network. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Wadjet Eye Games release, with plenty of dialogue, mostly-decent voice acting, moody soundtrack and a low-resolution graphical style that still manages to put up some truly impressive visuals all in support of an engaging story that unfolds slowly and never reveals all its secrets, even at the very end. It’s an epic setup, and for the most part, Primordia lives up to it. But when the core that powers the crashed airship they call home is stolen by a hulking, heavily-armed behemoth, they set out across the desert to reclaim it in a journey that ultimately leads them to the crowded, crumbling towers of Metropol. Horatio Nullbuilt v5 and his floating, sharp-tongued companion Crispin are two such robots, living alone in the midst of a great, lifeless desert. Like the humans that built them, the machines eke out existences in a variety of ways some in great, sprawling cities, others in hermit-like isolation. The world – although it’s not entirely clear which world – has come to an end. Point and click your way through a robot future with Primordia Hotspots and small objects can be hard to find.
