Fallout 4: Automatron (PS4), I've still got a bunch to do in the world of Fallout 4 but I dove into some of the paid DLC this week anyway. It's a bit of a shock to the system at first, the early sections of the additional quest are harsh (I'm at level 34 way above the recommended 15) that could be because my character and his weapons aren't well equipped for waves of murderous robots though. The whole landscape seems populated by machines trying to kill me, I hope this is only while working through this content and that the world hasn't been permanently altered. Once I'd completed the early legwork though and got to the robot building content it became a lot more fun, I redesigned Ada (the new companion added) as a massive red tank armed with a flamethrower and a claw topped off with an obscure head riddled with lights and wires. Watching as she slowly tailed me through the landscape as I ticked off objectives was amusing the bonus being that she was also quite handy in combat. The new non robot enemies are also cool, Rust Devils who are introduced as scavengers willing to rip apart robots for they're components (pretty similar to what my characters doing) I've got as far as an assault on they're base which I'll continue through, I like that the gross meat bags usually filled with guts and limbs are now full of exhausts and steel. All in I'm enjoying it, I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who was bored of or didn't get into of the main game as its more of the same, but that's what I'm happy to play.

While Miitomo (iOS) continues to not be a conventional game I'm struggling give up the habit. It's social media by the way of Nintendo and demands user input to make it a experience of any sort. When it comes together though it can be really amusing, scrolling through people's answers, comments and photos is addictive whether they're honest or not. The sweet currency, which at first seems pointless is useful for seeing how your own answers stack up against others not that any of this matters. I really want to shake the habit (and I'm sure I will in due course) if only to save my phones battery and memory.
