That’s partly the problem, since the only mainstream takes on the character I’ve seen during my lifetime are either edgy, dull, or entirely devoid of charm.

Ever since the game was first announced back in 2020, we’ve seen barely anything of Pragmata from either Capcom or PlayStation despite it having a release window of 2023. Well, that’s all changed thanks to the latest Capcom Showcase, as the developer has finally given us a new trailer, although it also came with an announcement that Pragmata has been indefinitely delayed.

I playedStar Wars Jedi: Survivoron launch, and despite some bugs, enjoyed it quite a bit.Combat is fun, the characters are far more endearing this time round (especially Cal),traversing the world feels like much less of a chore, andI love the customisation options.
