Primordia Full Walkthrough
Here is the Primordia Full Walkthrough of this excellent point-and-click game, Now available on the Nintendo Switch as well as the PC version on Steam. We are in the desolate wastelands beyond the city of Metropol, and a solitary robot named Horatio jealously guards his freedom and independence. All that is taken away from him when a marauding foe steals his power source, forcing him to leave the safety of his home and set out on a perilous journey into the wastes and his mysterious past. I have taken a lot of what I said originally, I mean you can’t improve on perfection.
Please only use this guide when you are stuck as it will spoil the whole game and you would be ruining it for yourself. But hey you do what you need to do to enjoy the game.
