About this game
PRAGMATA is set in the near future on a lunar research station run by the Delphi corporation. Contact with the station is lost, a rescue team is sent to the Moon, and the arrival coincides with a moonquake. Hugh Williams comes to alone, surrounded by hostile combat robots controlled by the IDUS system. He is found by Diana — an android in the form of a young girl, built from a material called Lunafilament. Escaping the base is impossible without her abilities, so the two set a course back to Earth through corridors, hangars, and a warped copy of New York on the lunar surface.
The game blends a third-person shooter with real-time hacking. Hugh moves, shoots, and fires his suit’s thrusters, while Diana rides on his back and breaks down enemy armor through a node-matching mini-game on a grid. Hugh keeps a target in his sights while Diana traces a path through the nodes and strips its defenses, opening a couple of seconds for a clean shot to a weak point. Capcom spent six years reworking the project around this pairing, and it is the main reason to download PRAGMATA.

- Dual control in combat — Hugh handles movement and shooting, Diana runs hacking on the node grid. Every encounter turns into a parallel-action puzzle under fire.
- Enemies with layered defenses — IDUS robots have armored zones Diana cracks open first, after which Hugh punches into the exposed weak spots. Without coordinated play, progress hits a wall.
- The Delphi lunar station and a false New York — alongside the corridors of the complex there are areas set in a distorted replica of the city on the Moon’s surface: taxis sinking into the floor, buses growing out of walls. The effect is hand-built, not generated by an AI.
- A thruster-equipped suit — Hugh uses built-in jets for short dashes and vertical moves, which reshapes the arenas compared with conventional cover-shooter design.
- Shelter as a hub — between missions the heroes return to the Shelter, where they swap gear, tune weapons, and advance story scenes between Hugh and Diana.
- Unknown Signal post-game challenges — after the finale, an extra set of trials with its own ending opens up, revealing the fate of Hugh and the helper robot Cabin.

One released DLC is currently available:
Shelter Variety Pack — a cosmetic set for the hub: outfits for Hugh and Diana, the Grip Gun DS weapon skin, BGM tracks for the Shelter, Diana gestures, and an art library.
PRAGMATA rarely lets you play on autopilot. Every encounter with a robot demands switching between the reticle and the hacking grid, and between fights you head back to the Shelter to work out who Diana really is and why she needs to reach Earth.

Reviews
Most fun I’ve had in a AAA in forever. Game runs absolutely beautifully on Linux as well. Had one crash ~10 min in on Proton 9, but moving to Proton Experimental resolved that issue. Game runs on highest settings without any noticeable performance hit, though I haven’t found a way to check exact fps.
Onto the actual game, they have integrated a hacking system right ontop of the fps controller. You swap between managing hacking or aiming by holding alt, with the mouse providing input for both. This sounds inconvenient in theory, but holy crap it works well.
Armor plating actually functions as armor, unlike many games. Best get good at hacking, if they aren’t open don’t bother shooting. Your main weapon is effectively a revolver, you have 6 shots before needing to recharge.
Progression is linked to several different trees, between you and your weapons, Diana and her hacking, and the shelter with its expedition prep.
Based off the intro sequence, the introduction of combat and upgrade systems; this feels like a PS3/Xbox 360 era single-player game. I can already tell I’ll be sobbing big time.
Dad space of us.
Edit 1: the game is gas. The combat is awesome, if the enemies see you from afar it’s on sight! The dialogue is top notch, diana and hugh have a chemistry that rivals Ellie and Joel in 2013. THE LEVEL DESIGN is great, reminds me of the dead space remake and the interconnected USG Ishimura and dark souls 1 where you drop by mistake and end up at the first section of the game lol
So that’s how it feels like to be Dad Space, diana is so cute and the gameplay is really cool it feels like I’m playing Vanquish.
Capcom really hits the spot with this new IP it feels like I’m playing a Old Capcom game again, it gives that vibes of the Lost Planet (really underrated game), I’m looking forward to more games like this, this game is fantastic!
I know it’s cool to milk on Resident evil but Capcom, please expand the creativity like Pragmata, I know you guys have more cards on the table.
Pragmata is a stupendous masterpiece for any man who actually has a soul. It is a truly wonderful experience with novel gameplay. Some of the optional challenges actually push you to your limits both in strategic thinking and skill.
In a revolutionary twist on the Metroidvania format, Diana doesn’t bother you about making game progress and revisits the subject of your original conversations as you backtrack through areas. Hugh and Diana’s relationship is fleshed out organically as you satisfy her curiosity about the original subject talked about at that location.
10/10, changed my life and gave me the motivation to try again! Will be voting for it to be game of the year.
Very fresh and rejuvenating game from all the games we have been getting over the past couple years. This game is heartwarming, action-packed, and a dad simulator all in one. So far this is my favorite game this year and Capcom really delivered with this game.
The puzzles are short and sweet, the collectibles are very fun to go for and the lore in this game is actually pretty heavy in some areas of the game.
10/10 game overall and it will make you smile and cry.
P. S. You will want to have a daughter after this game, so be aware!
