Story analysis: Deep philosophical story rooted in Existentialism and Absurdism. One tale of beguile, deceit, abuse, futile hopes and endevours in pursuit of nonexistent goals and ideals. In this game abandoned sentient machines struggle to make sense of the meaning of their existence. This dilemma painfully ricochets back at humanity with the same lack of meaning, same obscure and self-invented relationship with an apparently nonexistent creator. Like many other soul searching stories it's not happy or pretty, but the ultimate message is actually very invigorating. In accepting the lack of a predefined meaning you realize you're not a tool but free to do what you want. Freedom is way more valuable. Do what you want with your life and forge your own identity from ground up.

Undisputed banger from the creative genius of Yoko Taro. This game deconstructs the meaning of life when life has no purpose. Fantastic story, world-class soundtrack, frenetic gameplay.
