Pragmata's team calls Xbox 360 comparisons a 'huge compliment'

Pragmata has frequently been compared to Xbox 360/PS3-era third-person shooters, and its developers have taken that as praise. Director Yonghee Cho said 'Honestly, it's a huge compliment,' adding that he enjoyed games from that era and appreciated the sentiment.

They do not claim those games were a direct influence. Producer Naoto Oyama suggested the connection may come from the fact that the PS3 and Xbox 360 years were a time when 'a lot of different developers and publishers were experimenting with new types of games,' and that the Pragmata team likewise 'put a lot of passion into creating something new.' Frankly, I think it might have more to do with the fact that Oyama and Cho made a linear, single-player action game that doesn't overstay its welcome at a time when such games are vanishingly rare.

2026 has delivered a couple similar titles, like Resident Evil: Requiem and 007: First Light.
