After years of anticipation, Capcom<\/a>‘s new sci-fi action-adventure title PRAGMATA<\/a> is finally landing this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See whether players should join Hugh and Diana at this remote lunar research facility with our review…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAGMATA Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

PRAGMATA follows the story of space pilot Hugh Williams, who has been sent to check out a mining base on the moon that’s gone dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With not even the base AI responding, it’s time for the humans to take care of business up there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAGMATA’s moon pays host to Lunafilament, a valuable material that can replicate almost anything. In fact, one of the first points of interest in the title is a giant tower made by a printer and Lunafilament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place is a cash cow – and it can\u2019t be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

However, things quickly take a wrong turn after a moonquake strikes, having Hugh fall deeper into the base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right before one’s sudden death, a robot girl named Diana provides salvation, agreeing to join you. Diana is a handy one – she can hack most electronics, and can also weaken bots sent to stop you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you meet Diana and find out what\u2019s happening on the moon, it’s time to escape with Diana and get back home before the base kills you both – expect 10-12 hours of play time on one’s initial playthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While technically a third-person shooter, combat in PRAGMATA keeps things fresh with its hacking mini-game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before engaging with enemy bots in PRAGMATA, they first need to be hacked. Once the hack begins, a larger square pops up with a green endpoint. From there, players will need to get their line to the end point – assuming you don’t get it or have it cancelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While simple, Diana gains new tools that help with hacking to make it more fun – we’re talking defecting bots, stunning bots, dishing out more damage, and applying a wealth of debuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After said bots are hacked in PRAGMATA, Hugh and his many guns come into play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startting with a pistol, players will find more equipment as they go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunafilament can replicate anything – including a lock-on missile launcher. Why not use it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combat in PRAGMATA is enjoyable once figured out, but there is a learning curve with some quirks… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, side weapons can\u2019t be reloaded; once out of ammo, it’s time to head back to The Cradle safe room to get a new one or potentially discover one in the base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, this system becomes second nature before too long, and it incentivizes players to try new strategies and upgrade new gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAGMATA’s core game loop has players clear a few waves of enemies, explore the space station, find loot, and take a ladder back to The Cradle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While here, players can upgrade Hugh\u2019s suit and damage output, along with Diana\u2019s hacking power. On e can also upgrade all side weapons and hacks as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of going back to The Cradle is bringing back Earth memories: little holograms that will show up at the base and make a scene for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diana loves them, and players can earn Cabin Coins for turning them in.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cabin Coins are also used in the game\u2019s chief mini-game: Bingo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike real bingo, players will be able to just pick which spot you mark. However, those that fill out an entire bingo card can net themselves a huge reward – healing canisters, completely new weapons, new outfits for both characters, and even new hacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does this provide an excellent reason to explore the base, it is also a great reason to take on PRAGMATA’s Training Simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowing players to train in various situations, PRAGMATA’s training scenarios require players to kill enemies with select weapons, race to the finish, collect a set number of objects, or even take on a platforming puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each one features multiple rewards – and all worth going after. Those that do are rewarded with more Cabin Coins and upgrade parts for the main characters, along with extra guns and hacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, PRAGMATA’s Training Simulations are very well-balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that while PRAGMATA does feature puzzles, they are all a bit on the simple side. Rotating through three or four different hacking minigames to solve them, players will typically see a locked door, followed by a path that needs following, and switches that need hacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platforming puzzles do show up on occasion, but Hugh handles well and can air dash – piece of cake.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Despite this mobility, a melee attack would really help in PRAGMATA. While a finishing move is available, sometimes a bot just needs bashing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAGMATA also features a shotgun-like Shockwave gun with immense power. While it was the first upgrade focus, other side guns could also benefit from a buff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moonshot six years in the making, Capcom’s bold new IP PRAGMATA sends Hugh and Diana to new heights with a successful landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
