Even with ray tracing to buff out its bots, Pragmata performs a treat on PC

Capcom’s hardware redemption continues with fatherly hack o’ shooter Pragmata, a smooth and low-end-friendly PC performer that’s far more Resident Evil Requiem than Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s maybe not quite on Requiem’s level of framerate abundance, and Pragmata struggles a teeny bit more on underpowered handheld PCs – which we both know means the Steam Deck – during its tougher stretches of polished moonbase corridors and electricity-spewing robofoes.

Revisiting Atomfall’s pasty-pocalyse survival jaunt a year on, I’ve finally been seduced by its hallucinated monks and jarred brains

When I finished my first playthrough of Atomfall for review last year, I felt like Rebellion’s pasty-littered survival game was just starting to properly get its hooks into me. I’ve dug plenty of short games over the years - Return of the Obra Dinn and The Red Strings Club are a couple of examples - but with that brevity comes the challenge of delivering on the promise of your premise in a briefer window than longer games are afforded.

Yesterday, hacker group ShinyHunters made good on their threat to release data stolen from Grand Theft Auto VI developers Rockstar Games by way of a third-party service. Rockstar don't seem bothered by the leak, with one representative calling it "a limited amount of non-material company information", and the alleged secret titbits now in circulation certainly aren't on the same scale as the infamous 2022 leak of WIP footage from GTA 6. Still, there are some interesting gobbets in there. One is

Marathon has received a massive mid-season update, bringing with it a host of balance changes, major adjustments to powerful tools, and new cosmetics.

I hope you're hungry, because Dosa Divas storms out of the kitchen today

I expect that writing this up is about to make me quite hungry. Dosa Divas! It's the latest small-scale RPG from Outerloop Games, the same devs behind 2023's Thirsty Suitors. Where their previous game was all about battling off unsuitable suitors, food takes centre stage in Dosa Divas, pitting you as a pair of sisters and their trusty ancient spirit-mech who are "on a mission to defeat a rotten fast food empire and reconnect communities with their traditions." And it's out right now! Read more
