Pragmata continues to amaze. 10 and a half hours in and it just gets better.

Incredible game. The story is fairly straightforward, but the two main characters are so full of nuance, Hugh is very fatherly towards Diana. Any dad of a daughter will love it. The gameplay loop is immensely satisfying. The demo gives a bit of an idea, but with no context or build up.

There are no negatives from this outcome. He is going to be in trouble after November.

About 9 hours into Pragmata and I’m loving it so much. The fact that it’s only 15 or so hours is pushing me on, knowing I’ll get to the end not in another 200 hours! Oh and it’s gorgeous. No spoiler screenshots.

Had this on in the car yesterday. Remarkably, it’s 27 years old now, meaning I was your age now when it came out. Still a brilliant ear worm and you’ll be humming it all day…and who doesn’t love an animated milk carton…ascending at the end. youtu.be/6oqXVx3sBOk?...

NG+ is amazingly tough.

The demo isn’t as good as the final game. It’s sublime.

I love it when she bites the upgrade chips…such a clever design.

And it knows it’s a game.

I’ve honestly played like 6 hours already. Such a satisfying gameplay loop. The relationship between Hugh and Diana is fantastic (I’m a dad of a grown up blonde girl). Little things like throwing a basketball just add so much character to them.

First red zone cleared in Pragmata. What a fun game.

Oh I wouldn’t be selling them either. Money comes and goes, but those memories are forever.

I somehow played three and a half hours today…and loved every second of it. No spoilers!

This has been better second time round, like all of Eggers’ recent films.

Top, top game that will never age.

More than Resident Evil Requiem, as good as that is. This feels more fun. It’s linear but after running around endlessly in other games I like that.

I’ve done two and a half hours and loving it!

Some take outs from Pragmata after 100 minutes play, no spoilers.

It’s better than the demo
The upgrades are excellent
The game is stunning
Combat is fun & challenging
Diana is delightful (as the father of a blonde girl, who is now 31, I felt nostalgia)
Hugh is very paternal
It’s going end badly

No arguments here.

I bought it from Argos instead. Beautiful on PS5 Pro.

And it’s now safely at home.

Never again. Completely unreliable and the second time they’ve done this.

Picking up from Argos now.

I was going to get it on PS5, but Amazon have delayed the delivery by up to 5 weeks…and told me this morning, the day of release.

Got this at 6 am about my copy of Pragmata…

What format will you be playing on?

Woo hoo!

youtu.be/n-NDYWPXpKg?... loved the first one. I hope they nail this one too.

Too fatty for me. Only thing I used that for is if I’ve no Pancetta for Carbonara or to put on the turkey at Christmas and making pigs in blankets.
