Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Pragmata Deluxe
0:05
Edition on Not Now Mom, I'm Gaming.
0:10
These are short videos featuring all my
0:11
little nitpicks and pleasantries with
0:13
having played the game while sustaining
0:15
a bare minimum of spoilers.
0:17
Let the reviewing begin. Pros:
0:21
Exploration is rewarded.
0:24
Despite the game being fairly linear,
0:26
there are sections that you can explore
0:28
in order to find collectibles in the
0:29
area. Once Diana's upgraded at a
0:32
specific point, she can scan for items
0:34
and you can try to find them. The only
0:36
things that she won't find are little
0:38
collectibles you'll need to shoot. They
0:40
remind me of the figurines you find in
0:41
Resident Evil games. They do make a
0:43
noise when you're close enough to them,
0:45
and when you do destroy them, they end
0:46
up in your shelter purely for aesthetic
0:48
purposes.
0:50
But the chest you find will have items
0:52
that can help you out with their
0:53
upgrades. And then there's that you can
0:55
create holograms of in your shelter for
0:57
Deanna to have fun with. This is
1:00
definitely a game that caters to people
1:01
who like to explore and fill up a room
1:03
they'll be coming to often with nice
1:05
visuals.
1:06
Also, when you're in the shelter and
1:08
choosing where you want to return to via
1:09
the tram, it will show you what items
1:11
you've acquired in specific sections and
1:15
which items you've missed. Beautiful for
1:17
keeping track of how close you are to
1:19
100%ing everything.
1:21
Soundtracks and shelter.
1:24
Your shelter is a place you can hang out
1:25
in without anything disrupting your
1:27
peace, but it doesn't have to be quiet.
1:29
Once cabin comes into your shelter,
1:31
he'll have music for you to listen to
1:33
during your time hanging out and doing
1:34
your upgrading thing. That way, you
1:36
don't always have to listen to the same
1:37
thing each time you enter. Although
1:40
sometimes I didn't listen to the music
1:41
all that often just because I was in and
1:43
out once I got to a certain point.
1:46
Plenty of combat choices. There are
1:48
plenty of guns to choose from in this
1:50
game and they are color coordinated on
1:52
your HUD. Defensive, offensive, short
1:55
range, long range, crowd control. At one
1:57
point in the game, you're able to switch
1:59
between two different weapons on the
2:00
left or right of the HUD, but you'll
2:02
never be able to use each weapon
2:03
possible in combat. Instead, you can
2:06
pick up guns in the open world or set up
2:08
which guns you want before you leave
2:09
your base of operations.
2:11
Besides weapons, there are mods as well
2:13
as nodes. Both of them either benefiting
2:15
Diana's hacking abilities or your own
2:17
combat abilities.
2:20
Then, of course, is the upgrading
2:21
portion of the game. You can upgrade
2:23
your equipment, mods, nodes, and all
2:25
that. There's also two specific
2:27
currencies for your upgraded choice, be
2:30
it equipment and everything to do with
2:31
that side of things, or if you want to
2:33
upgrade your character specifically.
2:35
It's all very neat and tidy, but offers
2:37
a lot. Bingo.
2:40
Who doesn't love bingo? When talking to
2:43
cabin in your shelter, you can spend
2:45
cabin coins on a bingo board. These
2:47
rewards can be anything from enemy data,
2:49
outfits, mods, and notes. By getting
2:52
bingo on the board multiple times, you
2:54
win even more rewards.
2:58
Triple bingo. Congratulations.
3:03
>> Tutorial reward system. I don't normally
3:06
do tutorials for learning certain
3:08
aspects of a game. I know there are
3:10
other games that do this, of course, but
3:11
right now I can't think of any off the
3:13
top of my head. Never mind. That strange
3:15
just came to mind and some Final Fantasy
3:18
games.
3:19
Each tutorial scenario has three stars
3:22
to them for each objective completed.
3:24
And of course, if you get all the
3:26
stories, you earn more rewards. These
3:28
rewards can be worth it. And although
3:30
this did push me to try many of the
3:31
tutorials, I didn't get through all of
3:33
them and definitely wasn't driven enough
3:34
to earn three stars on the ones I did.
3:37
Perfectionists might love this aspect,
3:39
though.
4:17
Deluxe Edition. I purchased the deluxes
4:20
version of this game. What it offers is
4:22
the following. Two outfits for both Hug
4:25
and Diana.
4:36
A weapon skin for your main weapon.
4:39
Three soundtracks to be played in your
4:40
shelter via cabin. Three Diana gestures,
4:44
which I never used because I didn't know
4:45
it was a thing. artwork library, which
4:49
has spoilers for future portions of the
4:50
game if you're interested in looking
4:52
through it toward the start of the game.
4:54
Cons: Glass is too clean. Now I know why
4:58
birds fly into a glass door. There were
5:00
times where I thought I might be able to
5:02
go get something and it turns out I was
5:03
blocked by glass. Very nicely cleaned
5:06
glass where I only really got a
5:07
reflection of myself when I face planted
5:09
into it. Hacking directional arrows
5:11
confusing.
5:13
So, when you hack, you want to go
5:14
through the blue blocks with arrows, but
5:16
the arrows are on the left and right,
5:18
which made me always think I need to go
5:20
through them from the sides instead of
5:22
the top and bottom. I don't think this
5:25
is the case. In fact, I'm pretty sure
5:27
it's not because it all worked out in
5:28
the end, no matter which direction I
5:30
went through them. But the entire game,
5:32
I always wanted to follow those arrows,
5:34
even when I knew it didn't matter. And
5:36
that's the end of our pros and cons
5:38
review of Pragmata Deluxe Edition.
5:41
Thanks for watching everyone and don't
5:42
get in too much trouble when you say not
5:44
now mom I'm gaming.
