| 02 Feb 2025 | Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector Review — Adrift, But Not Alone | 00:43:34 | |
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a game about stories and potential. It is about rebellion and hope as much as they are about loss and defeat, a fork in the road coming down to decisions and dice. Decisions where the people around you can become found family or lost in the echoes of the dark abyss you move through. Decisions where one closed door could be drenched in meaning, as much as it could just be an impassable roadblock. It pushes and challenges you at every corner, forcing you to adapt and live in its galaxy rather than adjust to yours.
