Pragmata I absolutely loved this game. It feels like a throwback to the PS360 gen in a lot of ways. It reminded me a lot of Vanquish in particular. It made me realize how much I miss the days when most games were a solid 10-12 hours with no fluff, often with a lot of replay value. Nowadays, everything needs to be an open-world with dozens of hours of brainless checklists to complete. And don't get me wrong, I love me a good checklist open-world when that's what I'm in the mood for. Especially when it's a game I love and want to spend as much time as possible with. I just find it exhausting that that's what a lot of AAA games have become. Anyway, yeah, Pragmata is great. The hacking concept is novel enough to make the combat feel pretty unique and with the amount of customization available I'm sure people will come up with insane builds that just tear through Lunatic difficulty. I also loved the art direction, especially in the earlier levels when everything looks like a 3D printer vomited all over the station. This feels like a game I'm going to want to keep revisiting over the years. Kinda like Platinum's games. I'm definitely going to keep playing, at the very least do NG+ and Unknown Signal mode. Maybe Lunatic difficulty if I'm feeling adventurous.

This looks infinitely better than the original, pretty hyped for it now.

3/5ths of Wind Rose, it's... Different.
