Review of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector for PlayStation 5

Alright, so imagine jumping back into this wild cyberpunk universe—it’s like someone took a bunch of neon lights and crammed them into a virtual blender. We’re talking about Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector here, folks. And yes, it’s on PS5. Fellow Traveler and Jump Over The Age cooked it up. You’re this sleeper—kinda like a human mind plopped into a robot bod. Sounds cool, right? You’re trying to make a break from this mega-corp, Essen-Arp, and some gang that’s got you on their radar. Here’s the kicker: you’ve rejigged your system for a fresh start but—drumroll—zero memories from back in the day. Wild, huh?

So, quick flashback—reviewed the OG Citizen Sleeper on Switch in 2022. Pretty killer on the Switch, I gotta say. And In Other Waters? Yeah, covered that too when the world was kinda flipping upside down. Same game makers, so definitely was itching to dive into this sequel on PS5. No need to sweat it if you missed the first one. The action’s in the Helion System, a.k.a the Starward Vector. Isn’t that a cool name?

Pick your class, people! You got the Operator (drone wizard), Extractor (resource wrangler), and Machinist (system hacker). Each with their special moves. It’s like picking your childhood Pokémon starter—tough but thrilling.

Ah, difficulty settings—Safe, Risky, Dangerous. Safe’s like a breezy walk, Dangerous is like juggling swords blindfolded. Master that and you’ll feel like a gaming god. But let’s not get cocky—those dice rolls? They can mess ya up.

While strolling through this digital cosmos, your choices steer the story. Roll the dice and take chances. Stress is real—let it pile up and, bam, it wrecks your roll. But hey, drama’s half the fun, eh?

Upgrading your character’s a must. Follow Drives to earn points and boost those stats. Your character’s skills evolve, making you a lean, mean, digital machine. Think of it as leveling up in life—it’s about time, right?

There’s more—a trophy list. Sweet glory! Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the Holy Grail of Platinums. Spoilers are a no-go, but let’s just say some are tied to crewmates, others to dice acrobatics.

Really, Citizen Sleeper 2 is like Cowboy Bebop meets Firefly on a PS5 screen. You’re star-hopping, commandeering a ship, and it’s only $24.99. Or, for $39.99, snag the whole collection. Spaceships and chaos? Count me in!

And there you have it. A galaxy of adventure awaits in Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. So, maybe grab your console—after reading this, of course.
