Eurogamer published a "What we've been playing" feature on April 25, where staff member Mat discussed several games he played recently [1].
Mat described playing Pragmata on the PlayStation 5 as "functional fun, slightly better than alright" but not deeply engaging [1]. He said its hacking mechanic felt fiddly yet not very challenging. Comparing it to "doing a chess puzzle while line-dancing," he suggested the gameplay was a bit awkward though somewhat enjoyable [1]. Mat also said, "I feel the same way about Pragmata, as if it was plucked out of a different era of video game development when big games were allowed to just be alright" [1].
In addition to Pragmata, Mat played Lego Batman: The Videogame this week. He found the game still surprising but noted the controls felt aged and less responsive than modern games [1].
On unexpectedly chilly evenings, Mat said his go-to game has been Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, implying it offers comfort or relaxation in cooler weather [1].
The feature offers a snapshot of varied gaming experiences, from new sci-fi on PS5 to nostalgic and casual titles. Eurogamer’s coverage helps identify what games are on players’ minds.
The next "What we've been playing" update from Eurogamer has not been scheduled.
