A masterpiece
If a game has Logan Cunningham and Abe Goldfarb in it, you know it’s going to be good. There’s a unique and imaginative world, a quirky cast of robots, melancholy humor, and a mysterious past to discover. Puzzles are standard fare for adventure games, some clever, some likely to inspire exclamations of “b’sod!”

Great game
I really enjoyed this. Loved the graphics and level design.
Прекрасная игра
Одна из лучших представителей жанра. Из плюсов: интересный сеттинг, атмосфера, запоминающиеся персонажи и непростые головоломки.
Вообще сюжет очень напоминает Beneath a Still Sky. Тут и главный герой — мусорщик из пустошей, и саркастичный робот-помощник, и огромный дистопичный город, управляемый злым ИИ, который «везде». Чего тут нет, так это фирменного для BaSS юмора (не считая шуток помощника), но зато в общем тон сюжета куда более мрачный.

Great game
The plot, characters and overall story is well written. The artwork blends nicely with the adventure and the many puzzles and inventory items can change gameplay, endings. My low point on this game was the humor, a wisecracking robot companion that distracted from the adventure, the mood setting. Music and sounds are well crafted. Another adventure? Please.

So close to flawless
I enjoyed the game, it had interesting challenges and superbly atmospheric. The artwork and environment was eerie and intriguing. I wish it was a longer game. My disappointment was the use of humor and the banter. It ruined what I was hoping for a gritty serious adventure into a dark harsh world. It degraded that effect for me.

Sound issue
I have no sound on iPhone 12. iOS 14.4.2
A classic adventure game to revive the genre
Plot was good, puzzles were challenging enough, voiceover work was excellent, a retro vibe and feel even further peaked my interest. The only reason I didn’t give this title five stars is due to a crash that renders the game currently unfinishable. Said crash occurs later in the game involving a puzzle solution of melting a door. Research shows this crash has existed in the Steam forums from the PC version which was reported back in October of 2017. I hope one of the devs sees this particular review, as I would love to finish the title.

A solid philosophical jaunt
Playing through this game, I found plenty to think about - a bit of Foucault here (Domus and Megalopolis, Panopticon), Ayn Rand there, and a bit of Orwell too. Add to this no less than two disparate Messianic visions and your basic dystopic bargain, and you’ve got a lot to reflect on by game’s end.
The game mechanics are well planned too. While it is always possible to get to a good ending and a bad ending, choices made along throughout the game will determine whether you can get the best ending and the worst ending.
and puzzles drive most of the action,

A great traditional point and click adventure
Masterful storyline. Short and sweet dialogs give you more game play. You play the game , it doesn’t play you. Music so perfect you forget it’s playing. Intense smart intuitive puzzles, some very tricky. Hard to put this game down. I love the characters’ naming conventions. Original scenery.
LOVE
Thank you for making such brilliant games. I’m obsessed.
Amazing world-building and fun to play.
This story has stayed with me. Don’t want to spoil it but it’s worth checking out. The gameplay is fun and varied.
Genial
Geniales Spiel - aber inzwischen erwarte ich von Wadjet games auch nix anderes mehr! Ich hab Primordia schon mehrmals durchgespielt und warte grade, dass mehr Zeit vergeht, ich noch ein bisschen mehr vergesse, um es dann irgendwann endlich nochmal zu spielen! Oder bis Wadjet games endlich ein neues Spiel rausbringt.

Sackgassen
Das Spiel ist aus dem letzten Jahrtausend. Im Gegensatz zu jedem zeitgemäßen Adventure hat es Sackgassen. Also oft speichern, die alten Spielstände aufheben und ein walkthrough benutzen.
5 stars if you use walkthroughs on occasion.
Yes, I did not feel like dealing with the more frustrating figuring out how to do things. I had actually put this game down and forgot about it and then picked it back up after enjoying some of the other Wadjet Eye games. the story became more engaging and immersive as time went on. Great storyline.

Fun game but to many useless items
This is a really good game with multiple endings. My only real complaint is that there are too many useless items and red herrings in the game.
sehr gut
das spiel ist super, es ist aber etwas schwerer als die anderen wadjet eye games. der visuelle stil ist auch etwas anders, aber es gefällt mir trotzdem. nach technobabylon, shardlight und gemini rue mein lieblings point & click. falls jemand noch andere lucasarts style point & click-spiele sucht, kann ich noch kathy rain und thembleweed park empfehlen.

Oh dear!
Great game but app crashes repeatedly on melting the door in the old train. 😩
Very close to the end which makes it more the frustrating!

Another marvelous adventure
Once again an incredible story, great puzzles, and lots of heart and humor. Just waiting for the next WadjetEye game now that I’ve finally played ALL of them!
Best of Bundle
My favourite of all the Dark Future bundle games. Good plot and engaging characters cause you to care about their adventure. Good job Wadjet.
Horrible game
Don't believe the good reviews, they seem written by the same person and totally fictitious. The game is horrible in every single way. Bad graphics, slow action, silly plot, nothing interesting about it. I regret paying for it.
