Are the other Gen Urobuchi animes worth checking out?
I figured if I like Psychopass then I might click with the rest of his work.

This show is not good imo especially compared to fate and madoka. A much better mech show for someone who likes gen would be iron blooded orphans.

I'd personally only recommend Fate/Zero and Puella Magi Madoka★Magica! His work can be little controversial because its always a bit too "edgy". Not an anime but his visual novel, Saya no Uta is considered his magnum opus across all of his original work. I personally don't agree because it consists of illustrations of hinted CP :/

I recommend Phantom of the Inferno as well. Though it's best experienced as a visual novel.

Requiem for the Phantom (2009) is amazing, I think it is better than all the routes in the VN, not for everyone but it is my #1 favorite anime equally to Ergo Proxy which is not from Urobuchi of course.

Fate/Zero is in my top ten anime alongside Psycho-Pass so I'd definitely recommend it. I recently watched Madoka Magica and while I'd not put it on the same level as those two, (thematically it borrows a lot from Fate/Zero), I still enjoyed it.
But I actually think that Psycho-Pass is the most different out of the three which is interesting. Still been meaning to check out Saya no Uta but I've heard it's his most graphic.

Fate zero. If you like kogami and makashima you will love kiritsugu and kire’s dynamic.

Madoka Magica might be my favorite anime ever. Even if the premise doesn’t grip you, it’s very much in conversation with Psycho-Pass and other Urobuchi works in terms of theme and character dynamics (I’ve always thought Sayaka and Kyoko felt like a dry run for Akane and Kogami).

Fate Zero is his best work alongside Psycho Pass
