I liked the sidequests in Automata a lot. The writing in them is fantastic and they expand the world and its themes by quite a bit. I consider them almost as important as the main story itself.

In terms of pure game design, they're mostly fetch quest-y but that also describes 99% of sidequests in existence so it didn't bug me.


DadNier is a very good character. He has one sympathetic driving goal that he jumps down a rabbit hole of near-insanity to achieve, sacrificing everything and everyone along the way to try and achieve it. And unlike someone like Kratos, he does so while feeling like a real human being instead of a parody. I think if you're looking for him to be a strictly likable character, you're not going to find what you want, but as a compelling character who helps make the story work, he ticks all the right boxes.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
