Neat Citizen Sleeper 2 article from PC Gamer with a long ass title

www.pcgamer.com I played Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and talked to its creator about quests that 'don't give you the dragon money', Mass Effect 2 as an 'anti-reference', and making RPGs that aren't based on D&D

"I want people to say 'I've finished Baldur's Gate 3', and for other people to say 'go play Citizen Sleeper 2.'"

I'm super excited about this one. Highly recommend the first one to anyone who likes Disco Elysium, science fiction, or heavily narrative based games.

  • CS was heartwarming and unsettling. It was a compelling story, a wild ride... but just not very much of a playable game. Of all the decisions you can make, only one or two right before the ending have any consequence at all, and it felt like more of a "multimedia first-person narrative simulator" than a game.

    I hope CS2 has more depth and playability to offer.

    • It's probably more VN than RPG, but I thought the mechanics worked enough to make the character's situation feel precarious without interfering with the drip feed of story. IDK, I like worker placement board games too, though
