### 3/5 — Bien mais sans plus

*2024-06-25*

Alors le jeu est très bien. Je préfère les autres jeux un peu plus colorés, l’univers est très monochrome donc moins de plaisir pour les yeux. J’aurais pu mettre une meilleure mais je trouve le jeu un peu plat, manque d’aventure ou de rebondissement. Et ce qui m’a le + dérangée j’ai un bon niveau B2 en anglais mais il y a énormément de textes à lire ça devient très vite lassant. Il y a aussi une énorme histoire écrite à lire et comprendre pas assez bien expliquée avec bcp de vocabulaire particulier à cet univers.

### 4/5 — So close to flawless

*2022-04-22, version 1.0*

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.

### 4/5 — A classic adventure game to revive the genre

*2020-10-15, version 1.0*

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.

### 4/5 — Fun game but to many useless items

*2019-02-15, version 1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — sehr gut

*2019-01-07*

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.

### 5/5 — Another marvelous adventure

*2018-09-24, version 1.0*

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!

### 5/5 — Best of Bundle

*2018-08-14, version 1.0*

My favourite of all the Dark Future bundle games. Good plot and engaging characters cause you to care about their adventure. Good job Wadjet.

### 5/5 — Super!!

*2018-03-24*

Eines der besten Point-and-Click-Adventures!

### 5/5 — Brilliant storytelling

*2018-02-23, version 1.0*

Great game

### 5/5 — Great throwback to the classics...

*2017-10-10, version 1.0*

This game really nails it on atmosphere and mood which is a big reason I love playing these games. You really get a sense of immersion in the world with this game and it's a cool world.  Also has a a good bit of wry humor but it's not overdone.  Voice acting is great and writing is really smart.  I play a lot of the newer point and click games and this one definitely stands out.

### 5/5 — Yes, but its great..

*2017-08-24, version 1.0*

As per a previous reviewer, I also found the graphics quite hard to see on an iPad. Despite that, I gave the game five stars because I loved it.

### 4/5 — Has its flaws, but great story

*2017-07-02, version 1.0*

Pros: Great story and voice acting, beautiful "retro" graphics, some optional storyline choices/actions

Cons: Battery-burning app, AWFUL item detection on screen

### 5/5 — ""Everyone wants to spot bugs but no one wants to write code!'

*2017-06-23, version 1.0*

....hilarious I'm only half way into this game and I've laughed so much at all the funny jokes.. love the idea of humans role as the  gods for the robots, great take on religion? Wadget eye are among my favourite games, unfortunately I've only got the ghost series left to play although I'm looking forward to them. Please produce more, if I won the lottery half wud go to you guys so I'd never be without your amazing games!

### 5/5 — Reminds me of kings quest but better!

*2017-06-01, version 1.0*

Excellent story! Game play is similar to kings quest, but far better, darker, deeper story. If the story is the most important part of the game them get this, if you want action and fighting, this is not for you.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sound issue

*2021-04-14*

I have no sound on iPhone 12. iOS 14.4.2

### 1/5 — Oh dear!

*2019-01-05, version 1.0*

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!

### 1/5 — Horrible game

*2018-05-28, version 1.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Poor Graphics

*2017-07-24, version 1.0*

The graphics on my iPad Air are very pixilated, and it's hard to know what I'm looking at, even though the pictures in the App Store look crisp and clean.  In the few rooms I've been in so far, it's been hard to know what objects are in view.  Also, dialogue text appears and disappears very quickly, resulting in my not catching all of the plot.  If I continue playing, I may upgrade this rating, but for now, the graphics alone make it too difficult to consider finishing this game.   I recommend reading other reviews to see if these comments are trending.

### 1/5 — Poor graphics, empty storyline

*2017-06-13, version 1.0*

I love almost all of Wadjet Eye's games. I was disappointed in this one. It is just too dated. It was difficult to play it for longer than a few minutes. I'd love to see another Blackwell game, with Joey as a detective who gains a spiritual aide himself. I'd also like to see more games like Shardlight. I'm obsessed with point and click, please keep making great games!

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2017-03-12, version 1.0*

Graphics are awful. Did they just dig this up from 1987?

### 1/5 — Horrifingly bad

*2017-03-03, version 1.0*

Graphics belong on an Atari pong game The vocals sound like they were written for a children's Japanese afternoon cartoon. Take a close look at the pictures sampled on the app page above and you can see the level of the graphics. You would be better off with a comic book

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-09-25, version 1.0*

Getting refund for this. Absolute crap

### 2/5 — Sackgassen

*2019-03-19*

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.

### 2/5 — Hints needed

*2017-04-10, version 1.0*

Graphics dark, blurry.  Need to be an engineer to understand and complete some tasks.  Bits and pieces needed to construct tools hidden in inscrutable places.  Good story line but must achieve difficult benchmarks to learn the secrets of Horatio.

### 5/5 — A masterpiece

*2023-09-24, version 1.0*

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!”

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-01-10, version 1.0*

I really enjoyed this. Loved the graphics and level design.

### 5/5 — Прекрасная игра

*2022-10-15*

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.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-10-14, version 1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — A solid philosophical jaunt

*2020-08-19, version 1.0*

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,

### 5/5 — A great traditional point and click adventure

*2020-05-10, version 1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2020-04-21*

Thank you for making such brilliant games. I’m obsessed.

### 5/5 — Amazing world-building and fun to play.

*2019-11-27, version 1.0*

This story has stayed with me. Don’t want to spoil it but it’s worth checking out. The gameplay is fun and varied.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2019-06-18*

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.

### 5/5 — 5 stars if you use walkthroughs on occasion.

*2019-03-06, version 1.0*

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.
