Capcom's new title 'Pragmata', launching on the 17th, has received critical acclaim. Based on Metacritic expert scores, the PS5 version holds an 86, while the PC and Xbox Series X versions sit at 87 and 85 respectively, and the Nintendo Switch 2 version records an 89. The consensus is that the combat, which cleverly combines puzzle-solving and shooting, is remarkably fresh.

Pragmata follows the escape of lunar base operative Hugh Williams and the android girl, Diana. The game features combat that combines Hugh's shooting with Diana's hacking, and includes maps inspired by real-world cities like New York. It has drawn attention for its SF theme of a moon base consumed by AI, as well as the cooperative gameplay between Hugh and Diana.

Many outlets have praised the combat. They noted that the combination of Hugh's shooting and Diana's hacking is fresh and flows smoothly, making it accessible to play. Targeting enemy weaknesses based on this system enhances immersion and keeps the combat from becoming tedious. The SF world, based on the realistic fear of AI and machine civilization replacing humanity, along with excellent visuals and direction, were also cited as strengths.

While some pointed out that the story can feel formulaic and occasionally lacks logical consistency, the process of Hugh and Diana building a bond was evaluated as moving. It is also seen as a competitive new IP from Capcom, a company that has primarily focused on long-standing series like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, in the 2020s. Reviews also mentioned that the Nintendo Switch 2 version runs smoothly.

Pragmata will be released on April 17 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and on the 24th for Nintendo Switch 2. The game supports Korean subtitles and audio.
