Primordia explores new beginnings, and it’s a theme that is often covered in the game and gives meaning to the term. Again, I highly recommend you switch them on after your first playthrough. It might be a bit bizarre to compare a game almost a decade old to the more recent game by Wormwood Studios, but both this and Strangeland are very similar – notably, the fascinating commentary tracks that give insight and behind-the-scenes to the concepts of the game. Source: Screen captureīut MetroPol is shrouded in corruption and the justice system, while balanced as it should be, has its hands tied when it is being run by MetroMind – a former transportation management system that has since taken control.Ĭue concepts about humans and machine co-existing, ideas about identity and clues that pinpoint the lore of Primordia and the myth that is ‘Man’, and you have yet another intelligent adventure game that has a lot more under the hood when revisiting. You have to help him create a make-do power source, then travel to the mega-city, MetroPol, to retrieve it.
The power core that is powering his home, along with the required energy for himself and Crispin, has been stolen. Horatio’s mission is to reclaim what’s his. To unravel the plot and mythology, you have to play through the game and concepts are slowly introduced and based on the rhythm, these pieces all fit into place, often giving that odd vocal ah, that’s why. That’s no slur on the game, but while you’re involved from the get-go, there’s no time to know who you are or what’s going on. You’re thrown into the deep end early on, and Primordia reminded me of getting stuck into a book when slightly distracted. The comparisons continue with the last title in that Crispin is a Joey-like sidekick, adding a lot of humour to the story without overdoing it
