PRAGMATA follows Hugh Williams, an astronaut stranded on a moon base after a catastrophic AI takeover, and Diana, an android companion who's spent her entire existence in the facility. The core mechanic has you controlling both characters at once in real time -- Hugh's gunplay and Diana's hacking work together in combat, so she's a genuine tactical partner rather than an escort mission you're babysitting. The story leans hard into a protector dynamic between the two, and reception has consistently noted the game produces real, unexpected emotional weight around that relationship, on top of being a well-reviewed, technically strong action game in its own right.
One of the best new IPs Capcom has made in years. The dual-control mechanic between Hugh's combat and Diana's hacking is genuinely well-designed, not just a gimmick, and the emotional weight of the relationship the game builds is real and earned rather than manipulative. Sold a million copies in 48 hours for a reason.
