The arrival of a new Capcom title is always worthy of fanfare. When it’s a new IP launching simultaneously on a Nintendo console, it becomes a real cause for celebration. Pragmata joins Resident Evil Requiem in the ranks of heavy hitters running like a dream on Switch 2. The game has been steadily gaining hype since its announcement in 2020 and, when the demo dropped on the eShop in February, it showcased a unique, puzzle-infused spin on third-person shooting and gorgeous sci-fi aesthetics.
Pragmata’s Lunar Colony is a bright, vibrant setting that recalls the future-tech maximalism of genre classics like PlatinumGame’s Vanquish. The lavish art style will be familiar to fans of director Yonghee Cho’s work, whose credits include hyper-stylised Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, NieR Automata, and Resident Evil 3.
