PRAGMATA Review: Capcom Has a New Franchise — 8.5/10

PRAGMATA вышла 17 апреля 2026 года и сразу стала одной из лучших игр года. Capcom открыла новую вселенную — и, судя по всему, надолго.

PRAGMATA — лучшее 8-часовое приключение 2026 года. Capcom открыла новую вселенную.

PRAGMATA launched April 17, 2026 on PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. It scored 85–86 on Metacritic (87 on OpenCritic) and became one of the most positively received new IPs of the year.

Story

Players control Hugh, an investigator, and Diana, a young android, as they navigate a rogue AI-controlled lunar facility searching for a way home to Earth. The story is cinematic, focused, and emotionally resonant — critics highlighted the character work specifically.

Gameplay: Hacking as Combat

The core mechanic — controlling Hugh (shooting/movement) and Diana (real-time hacking) simultaneously — creates a unique combat rhythm. Critics called it «fresh and well-executed.» Replay value comes from the variable hacking approaches and skill expression.

Length and Value

About 8 hours of focused, cinematic gameplay. The short length divided some critics given the $70 price tag, but the tight pacing and emotional payoff justify it for fans of narrative action games.

Verdict

PRAGMATA is the start of an important new Capcom franchise. If you enjoy narrative-driven action games, this is essential. 1 million copies sold in two days confirm it found its audience.
