[Review] Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector for PlayStation 5

Sure! Here’s the rewritten article with that human touch:

Okay, so let’s dive into this wild cyberpunk ride — Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. I cracked it open on the PS5, and man, it’s a trip. Fellow Traveler and Jump Over The Age are pulling us back into that world they’ve crafted. Think neon lights and gritty vibes, just like, everywhere.

You start as a sleeper. Kinda sounds like a nap, but no, buddy. It’s your mind shoved into an artificial body. You gotta break free from two things: a corporation called Essen-Arp (sounds shady, huh?) and some gang that’s tagging along for kicks. Why? Well, you’ve rewritten your own code. Who even knew that was possible?

Flashback to when I played Citizen Sleeper on Switch — yeah, during those awkward lockdown days. And! In Other Waters? Also another winner. But, back to now, with our majestic PS5. You don’t need the prequel — this sequel rolls just fine solo. We’re chilling in the Helion System now, by the way.

Before you jump in, you’ve got choices. Classes like Operator, Extractor, or Machinist. Think of them as flavors of awesome with twists. They all come with their jazzed-up abilities. Oh, and difficulties: Safe, Risky, and Dangerous. Safe’s like wearing a helmet, but Dangerous? Wow, you’d better hold on tight.

While journeying through the game, dice decide your fate. Not joking! The roll changes the story, so it’s like Dungeons & Dragons but… with robots. Spoiler: stress is gonna be your frenemy. Too much, and your dice get all busted. Glitch dice could backfire — 80% wrong, but that sweet 20% chance? Tempting!

Upgrades? Yep. Knock out objectives and boom! Upgrade points for boosting skills. It’s like leveling up, but cooler since you’re an android.

Fast forward, there’s trophies. Loads of them! Think bronze, silver, gold — it’s shiny rewards for all your efforts. Some are hush-hush to avoid spoilers, but believe me, they’re satisfying.

Does Citizen Sleeper 2 give off vibes similar to Cowboy Bebop or Firefly? I mean, sailing space with a crew? Totally. If you wanna dive in, it costs $24.99, or grab the whole enchilada with the Hellion Collection for, what, $39.99? Not a bad deal.

P.S.: Shoutout to Fellow Traveler from my PlayStation 5 experience. Solid stuff.

And there it is. The good, the cyber, the chaos. Enjoy the starward journey!
