PRAGMATA

Pragmata is a fun, thrilling sci-fi romp. The combat/hacking mechanic evolves the shooter genre in a refreshing way, while the tale of villainous AI, rogue 3D printers and unlikely human connection blends the horror elements with something more wholesome. This is a sleek, polished package from legendary developer Capcom that makes every minute of its to-the-point 12-hour playtime matter.

Though Pragmata is clearly a game that is going to polarise certain players, it is hard to deny the success it is in execution. The compelling story, well rounded characters and curious combat system make this a thoroughly enjoyable and unique sci-fi game. Pragmata can hold its head high with Capcom’s other banger titles. The studio has once again pulled it out the hat, keeping up a recent momentum and signature quality titles.

Pragmata delivers gameplay that feels quite unique and makes strong use of it through a highly varied experience. It consistently introduces new enemies, challenges, and weapons, preventing the game from ever becoming monotonous, while placing players in environments that are both beautiful and inviting to explore. Although its story may not be its strongest aspect, it still stands as an adventure well worth playing.

Pragmata is endlessly cool, visually sharp, and a testament to the fact that Capcom is really cooking with their IP these days, old and new alike. The combat system along with the hacking gameplay are incredibly intuitive, and it's fun puzzling out each encounter to handle it most efficiently. I do think the core loop of each level is a bit basic in terms of moment-to-moment action, and the game's story, while serviceable, doesn't quite capture the emotions I think it wanted to. Regardless, at the end of the day, this is a very entertaining and impressive video game, and what's been pulled off is worthy of celebration.

Capcom digs into their past to pave the way for their future, taking the tight gameplay experiences of their PS2 era games with a fresh new hook.

A compact yet intricately crafted original third-person shooter. Its blend of hacking and gunplay successfully creates a unique sense of satisfaction, though it can occasionally feel a bit unfocused, leaving you wishing for greater weapon variety and more diverse combat styles. While the overall story leaves a somewhat muted impression, the lighthearted, everyday banter between the two main characters offers a charm unlike anything found in other games.

Pragmata, which takes place in the wreckage of a futuristic moon colony, is in the lineage of The Last of Us and The Walking Dead. But it doesn’t have the same emotional bond.

Story Of a father and a daughter Capcom is really cooking these days hope they deliver more and more quality games in the future good job

Good game but -2 for lazy unfun and really stupid training missions which gatekeep maximizing your stuff. Would not recommend to even play them, and it’s like 20% of the game. Good game made **** by prototype bs* gameplay. Guess it’s from developing the game and put in it everything that was just too bad or unfun for the main game. Seeing over 30 of them even makes me vomit. So you have 15 hrs of gameplay and the rest is ass. Sad.

It's an alright little videogame with an interesting combat gimmick that doesn't overstay it's welcome. Not everything needs to be deep and memorable. I had fun, but a 9 is severely overrated. Also the graphics on base ps5 are blurry and weird. Ray tracing can be so ugly and noisy that I'm wondering if its even worth it.

3rd time lucky? Not for me; but almost. Now here was something with potential, because their cinematic department is crack:Graphics are wonderful and mechanics an appreciated pinch inventive—not that novelty was of my object*The tutorials were comfortably-gradual as opposed to say the Nioh, reading assignment **** pairing of an adorable girl child in industrial/mech settings staves off the comparative sterility of a **** those were all smooth, well-realized if I hadn’t mentioned. It’s the long, drippy letters on store pages, the strangely purposeless question about user age when starting, the menuing which asks you to confirm your choice 3 “are-you-sure’s in etc., as well as the quite badly directed quest instruction first time you get to the DLC Shelter (which leaves you semantically unclear whether the objective will be in the Shelter or back at base); how the sensitivity of the emotional framing is mismatched to the combat harshness—even if it is relatively easy – I would be averse to see the littleRider harmed, so switched to Casual mode and restarted; here, little changed! You get one heal and do the same damage, receiving quite a lot too,: just give infinite heals and tone down the damage numbers for Casual: Be as open-handed and sympatico as the cover art and you would not have wasted a great premise and IP - – It is still a demo, Note also, PROGRAMMING UI IS AN ART WHICH TAKES EMPATHY. You cannot hire people department·wise with only high tech-skills⁏ which are bereft of skill without understanding extraneous hurdles, contortions/ ambiguities and points of counter-intuitiveness outside of gameplay challenge-factor. Keep it simple as I thought you were going to based on the chill banter and tutorials it begins with… Why I say 3rd time unlucky is because of the 3 notable games in my book that have attempted to recreate NieR:Automata’s realizational success: Stellar Blade, AI: Limit and Pragmata all have failed. Could’ve been SO cool and made CAPCOM look SO good compared to Nintendo and Sony, which have but– vast amounts of nothing on offer since dead series Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario: Odyssey, Pokémon Emerald and Mario Kart 8 (not counting BotW, which itself was a charmingly delvable, vast amount of nothing) or gems like Spiderman 2 on PS2 or Alice: Madness Returns on the PS3 or Rise of the Tomb Raider: annoying characters and voice-acting notwithstanding (and why is Tekken’s:‘Tag Tournament” installment uniquely off stores like Emerald and Twilight Princess? neither was Tomb Raider: Legend released on Switch – they don’t reflect when having struck gold-–watermarks of casual fun). So you still have to top RE 2: Remake — with its own flaws and unmitigated annoyances like endless, arduous Mr. X chases and Ada being a ****!.

i can understand why some people like it. but unfortunately, story is very weak, gameplay has some interesting ideas but still rapidly lean to the shallow side. the game just feels outdated for me
