So, I played Primordia some time ago and absolutely loved it. And then I played Beneath a Steel Sky, finished it today (for the first time, yes). Hooo-boy, what a massive disappointment and talk about overrated. Between the ridiculous random caps in the text, crappy VO with often unmatching text, horrible music, average writing at best for the most part and the (showstopper) bugs I felt like I was doing a speed run through it just so that I could stop playing it. Have I been irrevocably spoiled by Primordia?
Obviously, given how much of the BASS's concept and nods there are in Primordia the latter likely couldn't have come to life without the former but yikes... Primordia took BASS and made everything about it SO much better.
MRY has ruined an adventure "classic" for me with a far better one.
