Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is a decent enough mobile game that will appeal to fans of the series who don’t mind gacha elements, though the story feels a bit generic when compared to other Dragon Quest games. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/04/drag...

I think Pragmata has the most engaging third-person shooting I've experienced in the last twenty years. - @jamesthecarr.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/04/prag...
