    All in all Automatron is a good bite of DLC, not a huge sandwich like we're used to seeing from Bethesda and not out of the norm for the current DLC market. But like a lot of good bites, it leaves us wanting more.

    If nothing else, Automatron succeeded in dragging me away from the world of XCOM2 and back into the world of Fallout 4, which in itself is no small feat.

    Just be warned you’ll see all there is to see in a couple of evening’s entertainment, but it's a enjoyable enough way to keep Fallout 4 fresh until the meatier Far Harbor arrives.

    The results are satisfying. The story mode is brief, the narrative is mundane, and sadly the all-too-familiar Fallout 4 bugs are still hanging around, but the overall experience is rewarding, imaginative, and a pleasure to play.

    Generally though, this is just Fallout at its flattest, with Ada a completely forgettable companion and another, Jezebel, nowhere near as much fun as her snarky introduction suggests she’s going to be. The final fight is particularly tedious, coming down to how fast you can kill robots, and more pressingly, whether you can kill them fast enough., in a series of waves at the end of an entirely too long dungeon with only the occasional point of creepy interest in underground labs and on monitors.

It is basically the mod for Fallout New Vegas Robco Certified, not as good and for money. Any idiot could tell you that it already has been done and Bethesda has been reduced to selling mod tier dlc. Bethesda won't get any more of my money while Emil is in charge of design. That goes for Elder Scrolls too. Bethesda, if you have Emil as your designer or a writer, I and many others will not buy your next game.… Full Review »

It doubles down on shooting, looting and radiant quests with no rpg mechanics in sight. I have yet to see a justification for the season pass price hike outside of Bethesda trying to milk every cent before the release of their very lackluster content. I bought this game hoping for at least a watered down rpg experience on par with Skyrim, but instead was treated to horrible base building and a mediocre shooter. The fact that more radiant quests were added with this "dlc" means that once again Bethesda both do not listen to or care about what the customer wants, even the diehard fans of this game are sick of radiant go here kill this quests. Well played Bethesda you got my money, but I assure you it's the last time.… Full Review »
