I don’t recall the names of the games, but I’ve played some that would not let you manually load auto saves. So even though the game was saved you could only load the last auto save by going back to last check point or from resume in the title screen. There have been times when I was stuck but the auto save or check point wouldn’t let me go back so I was forced to start the level/mission over.
Also auto saves on some games don’t upload to cloud back ups or transfer to other systems but in most cases a manual save can be saved to a physical drive.
Auto save is a nice cya feature but I need to be able to save it myself.

Exactly.
A good game will have both autosaves and manual saves.
Autosaves are to protect you from losing too much progress if the game (or your computer) crashes or glitches out or something. Manual saves are for when you’re about to quit and want to save your progress. Both have their place, and (IMO) both are necessary.

No, manual saves are what you do right before murdering a whole village or blowing up something important so that you can undo it lol.
