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 in my opinion. Kudos to Jonas Fisch and his team for bringing Prim to life.

A remarkable adventure, which implements its clever original idea very well, with a strong Tim Burton aesthetic.

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.

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 on track. Further, the game experiments with unique styles of puzzles throughout my journey. Despite these neat features, the lack of a moving story combined with the relatively simple items made the game somewhat forgettable. PRIM has many great elements and is a decent choice overall, but I am not rushing to recommend it.
