Primordialis

This ♥♥♥♥ is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rad. Spore Cell Stage + Noita is something you'll hear a lot, and for good reason.

So over all I do quite like the game. The main problem for the lower review is balancing issues. The second area of this game is bullshitingly difficult. And this sone coming from someone who has around 1000 in Noita. The fact that there are several NORMAL enemies that are far more dangerous than the boss for the area is just dumb. Yes Im talking about the jellyfish. But even the laser guys in the second area are way too strong and hard to kill. There either needs to be more options to become more powerful by the second area, or the second area enemies need to be nerfed.

It might just not be my style. Feels more like a complex circuit maker than a microscopic creature builder, but maybe that's the point given how simple life forms are kind of just little machines. I'm past the refund time, but at least my money will go towards the development of an indie game. Maybe I'll be able to get more into it someday though, it just feels difficult to have fun with at a beginner level.

Difficult, but Amazing! Learning curve is pretty unique, if you do your own development and not look for help the difficulty not only starts hard, but exponentially difficult as you progress(very dependent on your creativity and skill with building machines). Imagine a darksouls game, but its spore the creature creator and mixed in a dash of something like scrap mechanic. That's Primordialis. do play its Freaking addictive!

The Controls are not intuitive, I didnt change any of my controls yet the tutorial uses different keys then what are natively set. The games control system definatly needs work, and the ability to see my mouse would also be a plus. and changing the mouse from hardware to software or vice versa didnt do anything, looks promising but will be waiting to play anymore until a major update is released that makes it playable

Love this game with a tenth of my heart, hate it with the other nine tenths. Pros: cool builds that actually feel fun to use Cons: THAT jellyfish THAT I HATE. way too rng based for now some basic things feel much rarer than they need to be.

Not for noobs, better git gud. 10/10 GOTY but make the damn shock cells not make one get stuck to the walls jfc. P.S. Game definitely has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of hidden highly complex mechanics. Some of those would get a lot easier to understand if the cell type tooltips exposed some of the parameters more. Thats the type of lack of polish Ill 100% expect from an early access game, however, I hope the release will do something about that.
