A memorable and visually striking adventure filled with emotional twists and standout moments. While its unique style and pacing won't appeal to everyone, fans of story-driven experiences will find plenty to enjoy. A focused, narrative-heavy journey that rewards those willing to embrace its distinct approach.

Emotional, intense, and fast-paced—these three words best describe my experience with Pragmata. The credits roll a few hours early, but ultimately, I was pleasantly surprised by the character relationships and the excellent combat system. Capcom has another great IP on its hands, but will it want to develop it further? A lot probably depends on sales.

While they have been going back to the well and redefining a lot of their long-running series, it makes sense that Pragmata stands on its own. It is a fresh idea honed to near perfection and I would love to see what else this team can do. Whether you're playing on Switch 2 or any other system, Pragmata is a great time.
Capcom has taken a gamble with Pragmata, blending together multiple genres to create something that feels fresh and unique. At the heart of it is hacking-infused third-person shooter combat, which remains engaging and exciting throughout. And when paired with a story that tugs on the heartstrings, the result is something rather special. Ultimately, Pragmata is not only game of the year material, but also one of the most exciting new IPs in recent years.
Pragmata is a great Capcom game with a good story and unusual, yet very functional gameplay. The length is ideal in some ways, and there are many extras to enjoy. In the end, the only criticism is that the game as a whole becomes repetitive in combat after you get the hang of it.

With its eye-catching graphics and heartwarming story, Pragmata offers a truly delightful experience. The tension that the hacking mechanic brings to the combat, in particular, has a very unique feel to it... I’m really happy with where Capcom is at right now.

Was the wait worth it? Mostly yes, as the aesthetics and mechanics are solid and refreshing enough. The game only falters towards the end, feeling rushed, while the story which was never strong, ends up even more cliched.

Pragmata goes all-in with a unique gameplay approach-and it pays off. At first, it's challenging to balance the two major systems it introduces, but over time, this hybrid combat system has really won me over. That, combined with the character portrayals and the story of its two protagonists, makes Pragmata one of the must-play games of the year so far.

PRAGMATA is a visceral and rewarding action game set within an intriguing world that will make you want to keep coming back for more. 👧
Seeing the RE Engine in action in a sci-fi setting proves once again how excellent Capcom's graphics engine has become. An ode to games of the good old days.

Pragmata is a simple game with a simple story, wrapped up in a fantastic setting. The mixture of high-energy gunplay and real-time hacking felt like a truly unique twist on combat. It’s a shorter experience, around 10 to 15 hours, but what it does in that time is well worth the price of admission.
From the intriguing narrative and wonderful Lunar setting to its multifaceted and moreish combat, Pragmata is a joy to experience. Hugh and Diana’s trek through an AI-powered moonbase gone bad is full of satisfying combat encounters and puzzles in some exceptionally cool environments, with only a few wrinkles.
Pragmata isn’t just another solid Capcom release. It’s a reminder that even a studio known for consistency can still surprise you when it decides to try something new.
Pragmata doesn’t rely on revolutionizing the genre, but rather on emotions that gradually seep under your skin. An inhospitable space station serves as the backdrop for an incredibly intimate story that manages to move you despite its relatively predictable conclusion. The gameplay is based on a combination of direct combat and hacking, which takes some getting used to but rewards you with a satisfying challenge. At times, the game runs up against the limits of its own design choices, yet it wins you over more by what it leaves you with.

Pragmata is a truly special game. Capcom has managed to create a new IP that resonated with me on a deep level despite its premise being about robots. While its gameplay can get a little monotonous by the end, everything else about the game is more than enough to overlook that.
Pragmata is not just an experience to play, but a journey to live one that leaves a lasting mark far beyond the end credits and makes you question what it truly means to be human.

With a sci-fi campaign that does not aim for a groundbreaking narrative, Pragmata manages to stand out due to the excellent relationship developed between its protagonists. The game succeeds in balancing lighthearted interactions with exploration and intense combat blended with puzzles. The futuristic setting works very well, featuring a strong and highly distinctive visual identity, accompanied by a soundtrack that is almost always subtle, yet still delivers some genuinely memorable tracks.

Pragmata is a compact and heartfelt sci-fi action adventure that blends clever puzzle-based combat, rewarding exploration, and a touching central relationship into one of Capcom’s most memorable recent experiments. Its mission structure can become slightly repetitive, and the bond between its leads could have used more room to breathe, but the polished gameplay, strong bosses, beautiful presentation, and emotional core make it an easy highlight of the year.
