This week's "That's releasing this week?? Wow, I'm out of the loop!": Pragmata

I recall that getting some hype off early trailers. Anybody grabbing it at launch?


Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: Might & Magic Clash of Heroes: Definitive Edition

I loved the Might & Magic game on DS and thought I'd grab it on PS5 for Portal usage. On sale for $8 or so.

I got in a decent amount of Horizon this week. I'm at 71% or so, with most of the map unlocked. Clearing out side stuff before moving forward in the story. Gotta say, the level suggestions for quests are wayyy off as far as I can tell. I was cruising through some higher-level stuff early, and now I'm lvl 52 and finding lvl 20 stuff (pit and arena stuff) very hard.

I don't know much about Pragmata, tbh. Just seemed like the big game for this week.

Also, the pit and arena stuff in Forbidden West can be tough regardless of level. Sometimes in that game equipment and how you fight is more important than level. You're cruising right along!

Well I beat the third pitmaster and moved on to the Enduring... who kicked my tail many, many times. Going to have to come back to that one.

Games added: Nothing, I think.

Last week: Finished nothing, played Crimson Desert.

This week: Crimson desert.

I've passed the 100 hour mark in CD and not even remotely close to an end. I haven't even seen a desert yet! I absolutely love this game, it's just a blast to boot up & get lost in.

I'm interested in Pragmata, but definitely not a day-1. Mainly because nothing can pry me away from CD right now. I'll probably grab it in the Fall when a sale comes along. I'm hearing good things about it, so that's good.
