Came to this having only played a couple of hours of the original and all of Automata (and the FFXIV crossover). I liked it a bunch, while I'm kinda mixed on the plot overall the four main characters really sold it for me. I loved listening to them banter about whatever is going on. The voice acting is great too, especially Kainé's and Weiss's voices.

The (intentional) repetitiveness does get a bit too tiring after the second time through the game though, as routes C/D don't really have enough interesting things going on to really feel worth going through the game's latter half again. That being said: ending E is incredible and I love it as a response to ending D, which frankly kinda sucks.
