£17 a month has pulled the price back from "I should probably cancel this" to "I get enough out of it to justify the expense to myself". I would suspect they'll probably be paring back the number of non-first-party day one GamePass releases as well, though, so that might shift the calculus again depending how the library evolves.

The kid is gonna be all over this.

The autohack has saved my bacon on multiple occasions, but I do sometimes wish it would use the yellow nodes (especially multihack, if there are a lot of enemies).

One thing I wasn't really prepared for with Pragmata is how much I need to be paying attention. I think, on some level, I expected a breezy blast through robots, but the hacking element is more important in every combat than I'd anticipated. It means I'm finding the game much less relaxing than I was prepared for—it's still really good, don't get me wrong, but I find myself needing to take a break from it more regularly than I expected.

Thankfully its checkpoints are really generous, so you can pop back to the Shelter for repair kits and loadout changes without losing any progress through the levels themselves.

Who Pragmatic here??? I couldn't resist at that price 😤

Yeah, I had it preordered. Only made it to the second area yet, but it's definitely the exact 360-era, 7/10 Capcom nonsense I expected and wanted from it so far.
