A few months ago, my list of hotly anticipated games for 2026 consisted predominantly of Triple-A franchises like Fable, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Pokopia, and 007 First Light, as well as a few smaller releases like Hela and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. That has been turned entirely on its head since trying Pragmata at a recent Nintendo Switch 2 demo event.
Part action, part puzzle, and entirely arcade-esque, Pragmata follows Hugh, a human sent to investigate disruptions on a space station, and Diana, a child-like android with the ability to hack into the station’s systems.
