Niche GamerThrogmorton BelmontMay 202610/10Pragmata is a nearly flawless achievement. It is a game built on a bold mechanical concept, executed with precision, and elevated by a central relationship characterized by extraordinary emotional intelligence.

GameSpewRichard SeagraveApr 202610/10Capcom 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.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20265/5 starsPragmata is Capcom at its best. As good as this company can be with its established franchises, it’s when it tries to do something different that we get the real gold. As far as “big budget” games go, Pragmata is the most different and thought-provoking game I’ve played since Death Stranding, and I love it almost as much as Kojima’s masterpiece. If only Capcom did this more often. Like they used to.
