"Pragmata revealed as Nintendo Switch 2 surprise, but with limitations."

Capcom's latest release, Pragmata, has been making waves on the gaming scene with its impressive sci-fi shooter gameplay and now, an equally impressive Nintendo Switch 2 port. This is just one of the many successes for Capcom this year, with other highly anticipated titles such as Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Onimusha: Way Of The Sword also slated for release before the year ends. But this isn't the first time Capcom has been on a hot streak.

Their recent releases, including the highly acclaimed Resident Evil 4 remake and Monster Hunter Wilds, have solidified their position as a top developer in the industry. And their support for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been nothing short of impressive, with a string of successful ports like Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil Requiem. One of the latest additions to this list is Pragmata, and while it may have some rough edges and minor visual flaws, it is still a well-optimized showcase of the Nintendo Switch 2's capabilities.

The game runs smoothly in both handheld and docked mode, with a target of 60fps. And even though some visual details may be toned down, it's hardly noticeable unless you're actively looking for differences. The action-packed gameplay of Pragmata makes it stand out from other ports, and it's even more impressive that the game maintains its smooth performance on the Nintendo Switch 2.

The only noticeable downgrade is in the character design of Diana, the android infant protagonist. Her appearance in the game may not be as detailed as on other platforms, but it's still impressive how much detail is maintained in the surroundings. Playing Pragmata on the go is definitely an enjoyable experience, and we highly recommend using a Pro Controller for a more seamless gameplay.

The Joy-Con controls may feel finicky, especially when trying to switch between weapons in the heat of battle. And unfortunately, the game does not support mouse controls or have a toggle to lock the frame rate, which could have been beneficial for some players. While the Nintendo Switch 2 version may not be the best option for those looking for the ultimate gaming experience, it is still a valid and comparable alternative to its more powerful counterparts on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

And compared to other current-gen titles like Star Wars Outlaws, it's clear that the era of heavily compromised Switch ports is coming to an end. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the game and our review. You can email us, leave a comment, or follow us on Twitter for more gaming updates and news.
