Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a carefully crafted narrative RPG that expands the philosophy, systems, and emotional scope of its predecessor into something broader, riskier, and more mechanically confident.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I want to start off by saying I appreciate their attempt to expand the gameplay loop, but the implementation falls flat.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack supports this mood with understated, atmospheric compositions that fade into the background during decision-making and swell gently during key emotional beats.

The visuals are still beautiful, but beyond that, there’s nothing else particularly impressive.
