I find it challenging to enjoy games where I don't respect or relate to the protagonist on some level but this isn't the case with Primordia's Horatio Nullbuilt (I mean who doesn't like a robot who worships Humanity - actually, scratch that, there are plenty of examples of robots that are cool, funny and dislike humans, but just trust me on this one)? Point 'n' click adventures rely heavily on rich narratives more so than other genres and thankfully I found Primordia to have an intriguing sci-fi story which has you wanting to learn more about this world where robots have survived and Humans have not. You're always wanting to learn more about the post-apocalyptic world of Primordia I received the game as a birthday present from my brother way back in 2013 so I have him to thank for getting me this game (thanks bro)!īeing a fan of Sierra and Lucasarts adventure games as well as sci-fi meant that a retro point 'n' click adventure game like Primordia was definitely one I wanted to try. I've recently tried to focus on games that were bought to me as a gift and Primordia happens to be one of these games. I've received a lot of games as birthday and Christmas presents over the years and while it's disheartening to see all the games that are remaining unplayed on the Pile of Shame, I feel especially guilty about the ones that were bought for me as gifts. Primordia has a Metascore of 72 on Metacritic which indicates Mixed or average critic reviews but it has fared quite well on Steam with an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating due to 97% of the 2,171 user reviews being positive. Along the way they learn more about the bleak world they live in and what part they played in shaping it. Horatio lives with his robot sidekick Crispin in a dilapidated airship but after a power source is stolen from them they embark on a quest to retrieve it. In Primordia you play the role of a robot named Horatio Nullbuilt in a post-apocalyptic world where Humans no longer exist. Along with Greek programmer James Spanos, Mark and Victor worked for two years on the retro point 'n' click adventure Primordia with it being finally released on Steam in December 2012. Wormwood Studios is a small, indie development studio with team members located across the globe and was founded in 2010 by American writer Mark Yohalem and Australian painter Victor Pflug. Horatio and Crispin make one hell of a team
