Pragmata Shows Capcom Trying Something Fresh and Fun

Another sci-fi third-person shooter may not sound too enticing on the surface, but Capcom’s new game Pragmata is an example of how a single idea can go a long way in distinguishing a game from the rest of the pack. Here’s the thing – in Pragmata you don’t just damage your enemies by shooting them, you have to hack them to open up their weaknesses. The way this works is by aiming down sights and engaging in a hacking minigame where you navigate a five-by-five grid using the face buttons to draw a path that connects specific nodes together. And you have to do this in real-time. Based on a 20-minute hands-on demo, it’s fun and intense, and hopefully this idea can stay interesting throughout the game when it releases sometime in 2026.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review

There’s only so much you can do to improve on a tried-and-true design of a controller, and making changes for the sake of it might just open it up to new flaws along the way. Such is the case with the new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, which sticks to what works and doesn’t veer far off the beaten path. That begs the question: why not just keep using the  original Pro Controller if you have one? Well, you can, and you wouldn’t miss out on  too much, if you’re not swayed by some of the  Switch 2’s new features. We still have our gripes with Nintendo’s official gamepad, including the jump in price, but the Switch 2 Pro Controller remains a well-built gamepad that does some things better than most. And for those who play docked, it’s an  essential Switch 2 accessory as it’s miles ahead of even the new Switch 2 Joy-Con in terms of performance and comfort.

The Switch 2 Pro Controller was reviewed by Michael Higham on IGN.
