We've been waiting for Pragmata since roughly the dawn of time, so it's genuinely a relief to say: it's good.
Capcom's astronaut-and-a-robot-girl-on-the-moon puzzle shooter finally launches today, and the reviews have rolled in hot. Nintendo Life's Ken Talbot handed it a 9/10, calling out the bond between the two leads, the hack-and-shoot combat loop, and serious replay value. Game8 gave it a 92, which is about as generous as they get. GameSpot went full romantic and called it "Capcom's next great franchise."
Not a total sweep — Gamereactor and Game Rant both landed at 7/10, flagging some iffy level design and a story that doesn't quite stick the landing. Push Square split the difference at 8/10 and said the combat is satisfying enough that the repetition never really bites.
The headline is that Capcom actually made Pragmata work. After all those delays it could easily have landed as a curiosity and instead it's one of the best-reviewed games of the year so far. Back of the net.
It's out today on Switch 2.
