You’ll need to find every Safe Box, Read Earth Memory, Mod and various upgrades, but you don’t need every file and hologram. In this video we’re going to help you find all of the tracked collectibles for the Solar Power Plant location, plus we’ll even show you where to find each of the Mini Cabin Buddies for good measure.

Pragmata – Switch 2 Vs PC Graphics Comparison

In this video we’re going to compare the game running on a docked Switch 2 vs a PC with the settings cranked all the way up. While the graphics won’t look as good as they do on a much larger more power hungry PC, Pragmatia runs at a pretty stable targeted 60fps at an upscaled 1080p resolution from 540p while docked. The PC on the other hand is a totally different beast. In this video we’re running the game on its highest settings at a 4k resolution with DLSS and ray tracing enabled, and every texture setting set to its highest value. Regardless of the night and day differences in the graphics details, the Switch 2 version looks really good and even gives some other excellent looking ports a run for their money. Which platform do you prefer?

Replaced Review

Replaced reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on Xbox Series X|S.

“Its combat may be literally hit and miss at times, its sprinkling of sidequests are almost exclusively ho-hum, and its stealth sections take a little too long to properly get into gear. Yet somehow Replaced remains a consistently absorbing piece of pixel art-powered action platforming that I struggled to put down, from the exciting science lab breakout in its opening moments to the captivating climax some dozen or so hours later. Sad Cat Studios should be commended for crafting such a gripping and gorgeous 2.5D action platformer, even though Replaced is one AI-based adventure that could do with a system update to completely iron out the bugs.”
