Upkeep and Meaning in NieR Automata

Wow, a lot to dive into right from the beginning of the game. It sounds like maybe 2B wants to kill god, 9S has a lower-than-low opinion of machines, and what does death even mean if you're an Android? Perhaps more importantly, though, is the question: "What does life mean if you're an android?" This is one deep game, and we are very excited to dive into it and give you our thoughts on the story.
