Pragmata follows astronaut Hugh Williams, who becomes cut off from his team after a crash landing on the moon and must survive with the help of a mysterious android he names Diana. Together, they try to figure out what went wrong at the moon base and find a way back to Earth. The combination of shooting and hacking forms the core of the gameplay and works surprisingly smoothly, even in more intense combat, supported by a strong variety of enemies, weapons, and upgrades. Yet, it is primarily the bond between Hugh and Diana that sets Pragmata apart and elevates the experience. Although the final installment loses a bit of sharpness and the game isn't entirely innovative, the execution remains strong enough to more than compensate for that.

Life is Strange: Reunion is an emotional return to a series that still manages to move. The focus is again on atmosphere, choices and relationships, with the bond between Max and Chloe in particular. The slow pace and small moments provide impact, supported by strong music and subtle voice acting. Technically it remains modest, with small imperfections here and there, but they do not detract much from the experience. Reunion proves that this series is still strongest when it makes you feel instead of convincing.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a loving remaster that brings old and new players together. The updated graphics, new modes and local co-op give fresh energy to a classic that is still just as addictive. The charm, humor and balance of the original remain intact, although it is a shame that online functionality is missing. Whether you're planting sunflowers for the first time or have been planting walnuts since 2009, this remake is pure, sunny relaxation.
