There’s a bunch of new loot available – some of which is very enjoyable to use, especially when electricity is involved – and a relatively small questline to see through to the end. Outside of this Automatron is very much the Fallout 4 you’ll remember. Perfect for watching guard over your settlements, you can become the sergeant of a whole robot army if that’s what your brain is telling you to do.

Much like how you’d upgrade any weapon in Fallout 4, the right equipment can be used to fortify and improve this tin can, and not just for when you decide to bring it with you as a companion. Once you’ve decided upon a mechanical buddy – and you can build more than just the one should the mood take you – it basically becomes a walking gun.
These robots don’t just exist for the sake of it, of course. You can even control how much stuff the bots carry, which in short means if you want to use one as a suitcase, you can. Hell, those who don’t like to get bogged down with such things may find themselves spending just a minute or two extra tinkering with the many options.
You can’t build The Terminator, but those with a tendency to want to tweak and fiddle have more than enough to keep interested. Constructed out of crafting materials – that you’ll already have plenty of if Fallout 4’s settlement building sunk its teeth into you – there’s far more depth here than you’d expect a piece of DLC to have. This is where you’ll likely be sucked in, namely because developer Bethesda has gone to great lengths to ensure there’s plenty to play around with. After meeting new companion Ada and running one small errand, you’re given access to a new workbench and from here the tools to build your own animatronic become readily available. So what a pleasant surprise it is to discover that it’s actually very good.īased predominantly around robots – which is probably an instant turn on or turn off depending on how you take to big chunks of metal – Automatron is constantly focused on showing just exactly what you can do with a friendly cyborg.
Feeling very much like a way to kickstart the game’s season pass as opposed to anything meaningful, you’d be forgiven for ignoring it.
