Fallout 4: Automatron

Session Respect Score

AI estimate · 0/5 votes
0.0/ 10

"Hunt robots and build custom companions in this action-packed DLC that lets you tackle objectives at your own pace."

Heads up: While fully pausable and mission-based, the DLC is combat-heavy and requires focused attention during encounters, making it less suitable for heavily fragmented play sessions under 20 minutes.
Best session: 30-60 minutes
