Pragmata has an original combat system, some smart toys and tight engineering, yet its rhythm and structure are a touch too singular. This is no mere 3D printout, but an exercise in the pristine and clinical nonetheless. [Issue#424, p.96]

PRAGMATA blends heartfelt character chemistry with innovative dual-layered combat, delivering a consistently engaging and emotionally charged experience. At times, it feels like a game revealed six years ago, but it ultimately delivers on a long-made promise.

The rest of Pragmata isn’t as refreshingly unique as Hugh and Diana’s relationship, but, as with the story, the combat is greater than the sum of its parts.

The combat, the exploration, and above all the emotions the story carries throughout. Hugh and Diana's relationship really gets to me as a father myself I felt like I needed to protect her the entire time. The fact that this was made in RE Engine is impressive considering that it doesn't feel at all like a resident evil title minus the walkers being kinda shambly.

Amazing game! Truly unique, nothing like this, is a fresh air specially these days which is so hard to inovate. Story, graphics, all perfect!

Revolutionary gameplay, simple story at base but with the external factors it adds so many layers.

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.

It’s got big ambitions, a big heart, and two big and beautiful characters leading the charge on an intergalactic adventure like no other. Cheese and cliché aside, Pragmata is a rare triumph.

Pragmata is a great sci-fi action adventure game that doesn’t demand much from its players and provides an entertaining experience throughout.

Pragmata is a surprisingly great homage to late-2000s survival horror and platforming classics with enough identity and sauce to shoot for the moon.

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.

O jogo é bonito
A história é legal
Mas a gameplay é muito enjoativo, um monte de gente dando nota alta só por causa que é da capcom ou querendo comparar com resident evil

When I first started playing the game, I thought it was going to be one of my favorite games due to the upbeat sci fi atmosphere and interesting character relationship. The early gameplay and level design was what I enjoy too. Linear gameplay with finding some secret resources. The gameplay got too repetitive for me as the game progresses though. Probably best for action player gamers. I couldn't stand doing so many fights every few minutes. I really would have enjoyed the game with less fighting. I liked the visual aesthetic. I think the uniqueness of the game was a breath of fresh air. Especially the innocence of the character's relationships.

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
SummaryPragmata is a unique, sci-fi action-adventure game from Capcom. Follow Hugh, a member of an ill-fated investigation team, and Diana, a young android, as they navigate a lunar facility taken over by rogue AI in search of a way to Earth. At a remote lunar research facility, humanity discovers a new ore—one that, when properly refined, can ... Read More
