    Primus Vita has a different take on the whole exploring-space adventure. Instead of focusing on the aspect of the destination, it's all about understanding the memories of your character and try to understand her relation to her other crew members.

    There are various type of puzzles that will work your mind, mixed with a bit of exploration and conversations with your crew.

    If you like narrative, well written games, this one is for you. It is build somewhat like a movie experience where you discover more and more about the planet, the characters, and the general story. I really enjoyed the puzzles, starting easy and getting more and more difficult.
    The labyrinths were awesome, and I had tears in my eyes at the end...

    This game is cool! I really like the universe created for Primus Vita. The story around the characters and their destination is very intriguing and well developed. I also love the artistic direction of the whole game. I enjoyed all the different types of puzzles. And without forgetting the soundtrack that is great!

    Just bought this game on Halloween special, and WoW, what a game. I’ve played it all in one session, and can’t wait for the second episode.
    Austin, the protagonist, starts as a smart and cold jackass, but toward the end, what happened with her brother and sister is heartbreaking. The art, music, voices are incredibly good. The puzzles are fun but sometimes hard.

    Primus vita is a narrative puzzle game in a sci-fi setting where the characters are traveling across the universe to retrieve the stolen water from the Earth. Puzzles are not challenging at the beginning of the game, but they get more and more complicated as you move forward but still engaging. I really enjoyed playing the game.

    I felt really immersed in the sci-fi atmosphere of the game. The character development of Austin was really interesting, the puzzles were challenging and the overall game was really fun to play! I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoy games like Myst.

    Looking forward to the next episode!

    I really loved the whole mood of the game. The environments are super immersive and the puzzles are nice to plays. The characters are nice to discover, they each got there own personality, and it's pretty fun going through somebody's head and thoughts. The fact that they choose the scientist women as the first character was pretty risky and well executed. I can't wait to go into the restI really loved the whole mood of the game.

    While it could do with a few more puzzles here and there, the premise is great and the characters are believable. Time will tell what the other episodes have in store, but this is a solid start to what promises to be an interesting series.

    The puzzles, while usually fun, can sometimes detract from the central attraction, which is undoubtedly the story. However, when a game’s biggest flaw is that it could have been even better than it is, you know the developers are onto something. I thought the emotional arc of Austin’s story was fantastic, both narratively satisfying and visually stunning, and I personally look forward to playing the next chapter.

    Destination: Primus Vita is an enjoyable narrative sci-fi experience. It looks and sounds terrific as you investigate your environment, solve puzzles, dash through mazes, and navigate short conversations with your colleagues and friends. Scraps of lore about the Scatters and their origin help build an interesting world and provides a menacing enemy.
