Automata is a great game if you commit to completing it, imo. First I had the original game, then bought game of Yhora on PS4, but recently bought the Become as Gods edition on XSX because IIRC it runs at 4k 60 on XSX, albeit with many popins. So really I've bought the game twice, plus 1 xpak(I can't remember if game of yhora was a free upgrade, but I think I paid). Good game to support for me, I want to see more games like this so my money went right to it. It wasn't on gamepass when I got my XSX so I had to pay, but got a good deal on the physical copy. I believe it is my second purchased Xbox game after the remastered Stanley Parable(meh, imo). I'd say my next Xbox game may be Rogue Legacy 2. If you like weird action anime you will probably like Automata. It also has some cool gameplay juxtaposition. Game has sold very well so far.

Only warning is, it is very easy not to "get" this game and to kinda teeter out on it and move on until it gets the hooks in. IMHO, it is worth pushing through. A solid, memorable game with some initial friction/boredom for me that eventually turned into great enjoyment. Also, after the game, I did read a lot about it online, kinda like Elden Ring, so it's got that kinda lore. Astral Chain is also amazing, and so is Bayo 2(honestly I skip cutscenes in Bayonetta games, especially the first one, but that gameplay though).
