[Revised Title] Review of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector on PlayStation 5

Alright, so let’s dive into this maze of thoughts about Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector.

Picture this: you’re thrown back into some mind-bending cyberpunk world on your PS5. First off, we’ve got this sleeper—a human consciousness chilling inside an artificial body. Talk about identity crisis, right? You’re dodging the Essen-Arp Corporation and a gang that’s oddly obsessed with controlling you. Sounds like a regular Tuesday. Building a network of buddies to command a ship? Yeah, just another day in this chaotic reality. Oh, and your memory? Blank slate. Like waking up after a weird dream: Was it real? Who knows. But off you go, rewriting life’s code—literally.

Flashing back, I remember tackling Citizen Sleeper on Nintendo Switch in 2022 and In Other Waters in 2020. Those were wild rides. You don’t need to play the first game to get what’s happening here, which is good because life’s too short to follow rules, right? Starward Vector, that mysterious Helion System—it’s got this gritty, sci-fi allure. And hey, I’m getting serious Cowboy Bebop and Firefly groove from it. Space adventure with a crew? Sign me up!

Before diving in, you choose a class: Operator, Extractor, or Machinist. Each one comes with its funky vibe and skills. Operators are like remote worker bees with things to reboot, Extractors are all about hardcore resource hunting, and Machinists? Tinker, tinker, tinker. Imagine having config settings that alter stress or reroll dice. Makes me wonder if life should have something like that—a button to push for a fresh start when a day’s gone sideways.

Speaking of sideways, difficulty levels are a trip: Safe, Risky, Dangerous—pick your poison. From safe strolls to full-on stressful chaos. And then there are dice, rolling everywhere like some cosmic decision-maker. The rolls determine your fate, so maybe bring a lucky charm along, just in case.

Upgrade your character? Oh yeah! Chase those Drives (kinda ironic, calling them that since this game literally drives you nuts). Minor and Major Drives net you points to beef up your skills. Imagine life having upgrade points. ‘Alright, I’m unlocking “extra coffee tolerance” today!’

Trophies? Yep, there are plenty. From collecting crew members like trading cards to achieving the seemingly impossible on Dangerous mode. It’s like they’re dangling shiny objects in front of you, calling you to keep at it.

Ultimately, this wild journey through Citizen Sleeper 2 on PS5 is a ride worth taking. Priced at $24.99, or grab the Hellion Collection for more cyberpunk madness. Will you rewrite your fate, or just roll with the chaos? Only one way to find out.
