Frankly, it would’ve been great to see the game spend more time exploring the bittersweet relationship of 2B and 9S. Hell, by the time I could’ve started to get to know 2B a bit more, she ended up getting killed off. Because the main story rushed onward at breakneck speed, never once slowing down. Because while it’s already an insanely unique and memorable experience that I really and truly loved playing (hell, even some of the fetch quests had interesting narrative tidbits), I cannot help but feel like its gut-wrenching twists and reveals didn’t quite have the emotional impact they deserved simply because the characters involved weren’t fleshed out enough. Or rather, I wish it had done a bit more. ![]() It makes me conflicted because I wish it had done certain things differently. Instead, I’ll just ramble about some of the things that were on my mind after getting all the main endings.Īutomata makes me so… conflicted, goddammit. Either way, I’m not gonna try and analyze the game too deeply here because I probably wouldn’t do a very good job of it, and because Kastel’s already written an interesting article that you should maybe check out.

Unless you want to be spoiled. In which case, welcome, curious visitor. ![]() Yes, I even put a spoiler warning in the title above, just to be on the safe side.Īnyway, so if you haven’t played and finished the game yet… this post is probably not for you.
