At the end of the day, I thought PRIM was fine. I expected more going in, as I like the publisher’s previous work. However, this game does bring a unique perspective to hell, with modern characters and writing. The puzzles, while fairly simple are nicely set up, and I enjoyed knowing that if I got lost, there were plenty of guardrails to keep me back...
Rich atmosphere, engaging visuals and some thoughtful gameplay tweaks make PRIM a macabre delight, while traditional point-and-click fans will enjoy the familiarity of a well-made adventure.
PRIM is a great little point-and-click adventure game with well-designed characters in a creepy yet endearing setting. The story is interesting and leaves you wanting more after the rather short playing time. The ending definitely raises hopes for a second part, which might then take you on a somewhat longer excursion into the underworld.
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed my play-through of Prim. The gothic hand-drawn monochrome art style is lovely. The entwinement of Greek mythology puts an interesting spin on the setting and storyline. The characters are all enjoyable and bring the narrative to life while the aforementioned skill of puzzle-solving is at just the right level of difficulty...
A remarkable adventure, which implements its clever original idea very well, with a strong Tim Burton aesthetic.
