I still can’t quite believe that the upcoming sci-fi game Pragmata actually exists. It’s been almost six years since it was unveiled all the way back at the PlayStation 5 reveal event with a flashy CG trailer and, while I and two other of my TechRadar colleagues have all been served an identical short demo at various events over the last 12 months (the same one now available for everyone to try for free), I’ve been desperate to see a lot more of what it has to offer.

But after getting the chance to play roughly two hours of the game in an extended hands-on session at developer Capcom’s London headquarters, I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Picking up shortly after the segment from the demo ends, I was pleased to discover that the linear corridors soon give way to some absolutely stunning, more open environments that let the game’s incredibly unique combat mechanics shine.
