User Reviews
- The original Citizen Sleeper was a masterpiece, and Starward Vector looks like it expands every element that made the first game great—more exploration, more crew interaction, and higher stakes.
- Anticipation is through the roof for this sequel. The shift to managing a ship and a dedicated crew adds a fantastic layer of complexity to the already excellent narrative foundations.
- Gareth Damian Martin's writing style is unmatched. Expect a deeply moving and thoughtful sci-fi experience that challenges conventional RPG progression.
- A true evolution of the narrative RPG genre. The visual style remains striking, and the promise of more dynamic exploration makes this a day-one purchase.
- If the world-building is half as compelling as the first game, Citizen Sleeper 2 will be one of the best indie releases of the year. Highly recommended based on the developers' previous work.
