Third-person action-shooters have been around a long time, so it\u2019s relatively rare that we see a wealth of new ideas at play. Pragmata\u2019s greatest feat is successfully introducing a twist on the form, integrating two distinct mechanics \u2013\u00a0 hacking and shooting \u2013 that run simultaneously in the midst of a fight. While Capcom\u2019s long-awaited action game has some other problems, that single innovation keeps things interesting, even while some of the surrounding game treads familiar ground.<\/p>\n
Hugh is a specialist sent to a corporate moonbase where 3D-printed environments, bots, and other objects are researched and built at the direction of a morally questionable and profit-driven company back on Earth. After a disastrous arrival, he\u2019s forced to partner with an uncannily advanced robot he names Diana, who just happens to look like an adorable little girl, complete with all the mannerisms befitting her appearance. With Diana capable of hacking the dangerous robots that hunt them, and Hugh equipped with ever-more devastating weaponry, the two navigate the mysterious moon habitat while blowing up increasingly towering automatons.<\/p>\n
