On which note, last week I went for a leisurely walk down the road to Capcom's London offices where I sat down with a hands-on preview of Pragmata for just over an hour, and having previously been rather indifferent towards it, I was more than pleasantly surprised.
On the surface, Pragmata draws very heavily from the survival horror genre. A few shots to the legs will send shambling enemies collapsing to the ground to be finished off.
Enemies start off with armour, causing your shots to deal next to no damage. The solution to this is that Diana's hack.
Holding L2 brings up a grid on your screen. Navigating the squares to reach the green node lowers enemy shields, allowing you to finish them off.
It's worth noting, as well, that the hacking process takes place in real time – time slows for no man nor android child.
It may be a kind of artificial stress, but it’s a good job it's there, because Pragmata's combat is, for the most part, rather easy.
As you progress, the game does offer up more opportunities for strategic play through the weapons you find and the environments you explore.
In the section I played, these opportunities are made obvious enough to you that I never felt like a special smart boy for doing them, but they are great fun to pull off regardless.
Taking the time to explore your surroundings – often as simple as just looking up – will reward you with resources to buy upgrade or collectibles that can be stored in the little hub world.
I don't want to give too much away, so I'll simply say that it rocked.
Perhaps my only complaint is that Diana, Hugh's android counterpart, has an air of the Atreus about her with how relentlessly she chimes in with: "Hey Hugh, why don't you go in there? Have you tried going in there? Maybe you should use your scanner to find out if anything's in there!"
Hugh has the patience of a saint for putting up with all of this, though I suppose my tolerance for Diana would probably be quite a lot higher if she was my ticket off the moon, too.
