It's not quite as emotionally hard hitting as the later Blackwell titles, but it's more thematically up my alley -- I work in machine learning/computer vision and Primordia touches on quite a few of the topics my grad school friends and I would riff on to avoid actually doing our work. The writing, music, art, voice acting, etc. are all also absolutely on point. My only complaint is a little bit of frustrating pixel hunting here and there. One instance almost lead to me missing a really nice touch in my preferred ending, but I caught it while checking out the other endings. Still, a minor problem compared to how much Primordia got right.
