Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector Reviews
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a unique RPG focused on choices, risks, and survival in a hostile universe, where dice mechanics and a new stress system add tension and narrative freedom, while strong writing and layered decisions elevate the story—though its lack of action and slow pace may not appeal to everyone, fans of narrative-driven RPGs with distinctive gameplay will find much to enjoy.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector builds on the first game with multiple stations to explore and higher ambitions in its storytelling. But in widening its scope, it loses some of the intimate details of the first game.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector iterates on everything its predecessor accomplished, maintaining the same heart while adding new challenges. It will delight anyone who played the first, and also serves as an exciting entry point for anyone new to the interactive novel genre. While the “good” path here is more obvious than the original, I already look forward to playing it again and making different choices this time around. After all—the sky’s the limit.
Like the pieces that make up the whole, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector’s story feels made up of the threads you gather through your campaign.
“Citizen Sleeper 2 is a magnificent game, made all the more impressive by the fact it was developed by one man studio... If you’re a fan of tabletop RPGs, thrilling Sci-Fi, or games where your choices feel like they matter, then you should definitely give Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector a go.”
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector’s science fiction narrative stands out for its focus on the downtrodden and message of empathy, delivered through some of the best writing you’ll find in the game medium. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in narrative games or thoughtful science fiction.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is the perfect sequel, taking the original in new and exciting directions while staying true to its roots.
