Pragmata was great, I really enjoyed it. Some of the simulation trials were brutal though, I never felt like beating them. I also always felt like there should be a better control setup for playing it on the deck.
Expedition 33 is really good, I played it shortly after launch and the default performance was a bit rough. I installed a performance mod (that disabled lumens among other things) and it let the game run and look decent. The game itself is fantastic, gives a lot of options to play it from mastering enemy parry/dodge patterns or mixing and matching the skills and bonuses to make broken combos. It really rewards experimenting, you constantly feel like you’re discovering new broken strategies, but then the game always introduces new much stronger enemies that force you to come up with something even more broken.
I should clarify I only got 100% exploration and beat the enhanced bosses in Unknown Signal for Pragmata. I could usually get the “important” rewards from the trials but gave up on some of them pretty quickly.
I hope they announce a sequel soon, but would be perfectly happy if it was a one-off game.
I’ve got some performance mod for E33 and it seems pretty solid. Only issue I’ve seen so far is that the hair all turns white in the character select menu. Manor might look funky too tbh. But I was getting a very stable 30 FPS in the prologue with solid looking graphics.
I also beat act 1 on Xbox about a year ago, but also haven’t touched my Xbox since I got a Deck… so I’m excited to play the prologue and act 1 again.
Just finished up Pragmata! Great game. 100%ed it in about 20 hours. Sadly didn’t get my settings dialed in until about hour 13 hahaha.
I was torn between Expedition 33 and FF7 Remake + Rebirth. And I think I’m heavily leaning towards FF7.
I haven’t played the originals, and really only know about
Tap for spoiler
Aerith.
So I’m excited to start it!
I grabbed a couple if mods (Less Grunting, Metal Chocobo for Buster Sword swap, and a DSR disabling mod).
If you recommend any others, let me know!
