Pragmata is Capcom’s newest game that is a brand new IP. It follows a space engineer named Hugh and a young android named Diana as they are stranded on a hostile space station.

Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem takes both aspects that the resident evil franchise is known for and fuses them together perfectly. It takes the survival horror from staples of the series like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7 and combines that with the action horror of games like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. The fear from the survival horror combined with the satisfaction of the action horror portions creates the most enjoyable gaming experience this year so far.
