Pragmata checks off a crucial element of Japanese sci-fi with giant robot kaiju boss battles

Because this is a cruel world we live in, I will never get to play another Vanquish, my forever answer to the question "what videogame has the most juice?" But if I can't play more of the knee-sliding, giant-sci-fi-mech-toppling shooter made by Capcom's former design maestro Shinji Mikami, I will happily accept a successor from 2026 Capcom, which is now years deep into a hot streak of great games. (When your "duds" are still as fun to play as Monster Hunter Wilds, you know you're on a heater).
