Capcom's lineup at Summer Game Fest was a mix of bold and boring
Briefly

During Summer Game Fest, Capcom showcased three upcoming titles—Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Resident Evil Requiem, and Pragmata—all with varying degrees of gameplay appeal. Resident Evil Requiem had stale elements, while Onimusha presented fresh ideas. Pragmata stood out for its unique mechanics, contrasting conventional storytelling with an astronaut and a robot companion, which the reviewer found somewhat dated. However, its combat system showcased complexity, requiring players to balance hacking enemies mid-fight, adding a new layer to the shooter genre and enhancing player engagement.
Across the three games, I saw a mix of fresh ideas with Onimusha, some stale ones with Requiem, and some weird but interesting choices with Pragmata.
I'm utterly exhausted by the trope of a big, gruff dude protecting a small, innocent child. Enough! It's 2025, we have plenty of dad games at home.
