MyRobot

For me, MyRobot is an interesting gem of a sandbox. I won't deny, the game has it's quirks and bugs, sometimes seems to require reloads due to mechanics breaking, like grappling hook often not firing mid air, or companions after falling down not being able to stand up. The AutoWizard for self-hosting AI seems to also to work for chatting, with fairly low GPU requirement, but the installation for TTS seems to be failing for me at this moment. But, while the game mechanics still needs polish, the narration, exploration and interaction with and between the AI companions are quite interesting. Give your AI companion a bit of sarcasm and you might find yourself listening to cooking lessons while riding on your companion's back, being roasted by the sun in the middle of the desert. Definitely a game worth experiencing.

MyRobot is a great game if you enjoy adventure, puzzles, and light “programming” through AI to create your own robot companion. You can build your favorite robot using presets, or download custom ones from the Workshop, which adds a lot of variety. One thing I really like is the progression system—you can find blueprints to improve your robot, and the game actually challenges you to figure out how to use your robot effectively. Some tasks require timing or indirect control, which makes it more than just a simple sandbox and adds a nice layer of problem-solving. The robots themselves are one of the highlights. They come with their own personalities and voices, and you can edit these through the computer at your workstation. This already feels pretty deep, and it’s easy to imagine how future updates could expand customization even more. That said, the game definitely still feels like early access. It’s clear the developers are actively working on it, with regular updates adding features, improvements, and fixes. That’s a good sign, but right now it still has some rough edges. One of the biggest concerns is the token system for AI interactions. The game gives you tokens to talk with your robots, and that can feel limiting at times. However, there is a workaround: you can use self-hosting instead. The built-in wizard makes this surprisingly easy to set up, allowing you to use AI without worrying about tokens at all. The developer has also stated that major updates will provide more tokens, which helps ease the issue. Another strong point is performance—having multiple robots on screen at once, all with different personalities, doesn’t seem to slow things down too much, which is impressive considering the AI systems involved. If you’re not big on chatting with AI, the game still works well as a standard adventure/sandbox experience. You can focus on quests and puzzles, and many quest interactions use preset dialogue options, so you don’t always have to rely on the AI system. Overall, MyRobot is a fun and creative experience with a lot of potential. It’s already enjoyable in its current state, and I’m especially looking forward to future updates. It’s been hinted that there could be a dating system or expanded social features with robots, which could add even more depth to the game.
