Dot hack
We’ve played PS5 shooter Pragmata three times now.

When we previously previewed Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the long-awaited successor to Capcom’s action fantasy franchise, we went out of our way to say it isn’t Dark Souls. It may seem strange to talk about what a game isn’t, but we know how all-encompassing – and, honestly, overbearing –...
