Perfect continuation from the first game

A beautifully written game that meaningfully builds gameplay and worldbuilding on the first game. The solar system in CS2 reminded me of the Expanse, one of my favorite TV shows.

If you've ever played the TTRPG Blades in the Dark, then the gameplay will be instantly familiar. I love Citizen Sleeper 1 & 2 because there are story moments that hit you like a ton of bricks and stick in your mind for years; true, original, sci-fi storytelling.

I really liked Citizen Eepy 2, but I still think the first one was stronger. The problem I’m facing writing this is that Citizen Eepy 1 is almost unassailable, so pretty much every aspect of the game I could write about goes along the lines of “this is very good, but CS1 did it better overall I think”, which I think makes CS2 look bad. But it’s not, it’s great.
(there will be spoilers for CS1 under spoiler tags)

I think the contracts were awesome. The pressure, the whole atmosphere of a tense situation, and how dangerous they can be on the new ““permadeath”” mode – all of that is just great. A real “lock in” moment, I think is very useful when compared to how after the very early plateau of CS1 to keep the stakes up. When you reach a stable point there, the game just becomes a book, and, well, good for her, but this keeps pressure up a little bit, so I appreciate that. I’m not saying CS1 would benefit from that, but I like this new direction for CS2.

CS2 adds difficulty modes, I picked Dangerous, and overall I really liked it. It claims to have permadeath, but seemingly fails to consider it’s impossible to delete save files in this game, so dying in it only forces you to lower the difficulty – but that’s whatever. The further I got away from the beginning, the more I appreciated it, especially as I was being dragged deeper into a near suicidal mission by one of my crew, it got my emotions acting up, and that’s really cool. The main problem with this difficulty is that CS2 has a notoriously difficult the beginning is, especially when compared to the rest of the game. I barely limped out of the tutorial station – I could recover from that, but at that point I decided that I’m not really feeling the class I picked, so I started again. Given the low opportunity cost of restarting again once more, I tried more to get a favorable start by pushing my luck. In the end, I replayed the intro station multiple times, and frankly pulling at the seams of the freedom of choice in this game (and prolly CS1) doesn’t do it any favors. I don’t mind the difficult start, I like the Dangerous difficulty, but the combination of the two is not great for CS2 in the beginning.

I don’t think The Rig is capable of filling quite the same role as [spoiler]The Eye. The game tries to do the “this is a ship full of strays and this is found family” thing, but I am just not feeling it. Serafin is a silly goose, I love him; Bliss is the most reasonable person on board, I also love them and will do anything they say. Everyone else, though? Eh. I mean it’s not that I dislike them as people or as characters, but they don’t feel like homies in the same way. They don’t feel like homies in the same way Erlin’s Eye did. Maybe it has something to do with the game not knowing for sure when you will have them on board resulting in them never being truly essential.
CS1 was a subversion of what seems like a cyberpunk dystopia turning out to be a welcoming home and you learning to love it and cherish it; CS2 is Sleeper’s, Bliss’, and Serafin’s whacky adventures – not bad, but nowhere near the emotional impact of CS1.
The ending feels worse in CS2, I didn’t even quite realize it was going to be the ending until the credits rolled, and I still don’t understand what it was asking of me in the end - CS1 had this incredible build up to the final choice of if you wanted to stay or keep moving, and CS2 does too, but this time the “home” is what? The Rig? The Belt? And I was kind of under the impression that the choice would be between “freedom” and “stability”, but the way the game phrased it about the interstellar engine, it was still the same as CS1, the Eye became the Belt, the refugee ships became the interstellar engine, and the protagonist became the Rig. It’s the same question, but without the whole game building up to it, I feel.[/spoiler]

Reading everything I wrote it comes off even more negative that I intended. Citizen Eepy 2 is really good, I promise. Still, you should play the first game first if you haven’t and then you should also play the second. Starward Vector is not better than its predecessor, but is better than most games I’ve played.

Very excited for whatever JOTA has cooking next.

Love the game.
Lack of a manual save is punitive for mechanics so based on RNG. Do not get on with the stress mechanic. UI a bit clunky with a controller, and some aspects of the game not well signposted.

Tout en gardant les immenses qualités d'écriture du premier opus, Citizen Sleeper 2 nous fait explorer de nouveaux horizons accompagné de personnages toujours aussi touchants. Aucun dépaysement ne vient nous perturber dans la boucle de gameplay : le principe des dés journaliers à utiliser pour effectuer des actions est enrichi par plusieurs systèmes subtils et bien pensés, comme la gestion des vivres et du carburant qui rythme les voyages entre les points d'intérêt et participe à notre investissement constant, sans toutefois nous submerger ; la découverte de l'univers à travers une narration textuelle et des dialogues ciselés à la perfection est toujours là, plus puissante et évocatrice que jamais, toujours superbement illustrée par les dessins de Guillaume Singelin et les ambiances musicales d'Amos Roddy.

Plus ambitieux, Citizen Sleeper 2 sublime, sans jamais en faire trop, les atouts qui faisaient de son aîné un chef-d'œuvre du jeu de rôle narratif. La série s'impose désormais comme un pilier incontournable du genre et Gareth Damian Martin comme l'un des auteurs les plus talentueux de sa génération.

I'm sorry. The moment I started skipping dialogue to just spam the continue button I knew the game had lost me.
There's a story in there if you care. There's some annoying RNG to 'stress' you out out too.

I can't say the game is bad, per say. Just that I didn't like it. The moments the rails come on, I felt 'ugh'.
I liked the first game.

Gameplay wise its mostly an upgrade, i think the perk system could be improved further. Lore-wise the first game was more compeling and memorable tho having some recurring characters and seeing how they evolve is definetly neat. Id suggest for the next one (if there is going to be) to have less NPCs but better developed, a more interesting and engaging perk system + an actual impact on decisions taken here, it doesnt really affect anything going interface or engage for example, different outcomes would be nice and especially more portraits like you did with Seraphin, perhaps some animated ones only for special scenes like gunshots etc

I enjoyed playing Citizen Sleeper 2 a lot. I found the challenges of choosing crew for missions and the additional negative effects on dice that this game has a good complication. The first Citizen Sleeper has more soul for sure, and is wonderful. This is more of an RPG though, and I liked it for that.

CS 1 was an amazing experience and a fresh new kind of game. CS 2 takes what you loved from the original, expands on it, and allows you to continue playing in the amazing universe it created. I still love The Eye and think of it with more nostalgia than I will for the locations in CS 2 -- but they are distinct games, not just the same experience, and I like that in a sequel. You play each for its own experience.

Loved every minute.

Steam User 3200STEAMRecommended

I recommend this game but everyone complaining is totally right about the brutal starting area in this game. It just takes 2-3 bad rolls to start a cascade of disaster that will leave you crippled for the rest of the game, It’s absolutely worth restarting the game if you blow it in the starting area. Once you get past there, the game has stakes appropriate to your circumstances and is very normal and fun and not heart breaking at all.

The failure cascade comes from a mechanic that wasn’t in citizen sleeper 1 where bad outcomes add points to a debuff called “stress” (awful name, expected better from a writer this good). The “stress” debuff randomly damages your dice until they break, which means you get fewer rolls, so you have to make risky rolls that you might not otherwise because you ALSO have a 5 turn (or lower!) limit before you instant fail. The risky rolls have bad outcomes, adding to your stress, and if you max that out, you get a permanent unfixable debuff on one of your dice that makes it exclusively a 80% fail 20% success roll, no numbers, no stat modifiers. This could very well put you in a position where you only have 3 useful dice for the rest of the game and you’re still in the tutorial area 😭. There are other sources of cascading disasters that I won’t get into here. If the main themes of citizen sleeper 1 were the horrors of unrestrained capitalism and the relationship between your body and your identity, the main themes of citizen sleeper 2 are gambling addiction and its consequences.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that your class actually matters in this game, I really enjoyed the special abilities available only to my class (operator). I haven’t tried any of the others.

The game has a lot more Characters That Matter, and while I personally got emotionally attached to my favorites because I have unhealthy relationships with game or book characters and whenever i finish i feel like a friend just DIED, I agree with many of the complaints that most of the characters were not all that well fleshed out.

final score: 17/10

While not as good as the first game, I have no regrets about picking up Citizen Sleeper 2. While the game does have bits and pieces that are different (and sometimes detrimental) to the overall gameplay loop of CS2, The game still carries the same charm and ideas of the first. The characters are still great, with a few new and few returning faces. Some are less well developed, but all of them are loveable. The story, continuing off somewhat from the first, is solid and well constructed. The gameplay has a few new features, some welcome and enjoyable, some a bit stifling, but an overall improvement from the first. If you enjoyed the first game to any degree, I highly recommend you pick up the second one. You won't regret it.

A fantastic narrative that saves its best punches for last, threading you from character to character with a simplistic but effective gameplay loop of careful management and day to day decision making.

The ending *really* stuck with me in a way that I think is impactful now, but will probably be even more impactful many decades from now.

I'm not quite sure what stronger of a recommendation I can give than that.

玩完前作過嚟嘅，玩咗差唔多13個鐘都感覺上比較好玩，玩落去根本就停唔到落嚟，劇情同人物嘅刻劃上面都比較吸引，角色上面都有血有肉，無論係反派嘅打壓及控制，都塑造得幾唔錯，喺續作上面睇到比第一集嘅刺客追蹤有空間咗好多，唔會咁有壓迫感，時間上面都鬆動，同埋續作嘅玩法又多好多，都玩咗差唔多近180個循環，喺後面解鎖咗第一個結局關於塞拉芬同一個星球上面嘅劇情，然後利用重新讀取檔案嘅方法，都望到六個結局嘅劇情，不過可能啱啱上架嘅原因見唔到太多劇情嘅描寫，只有寥寥幾筆，不過玩落去都有啲驚喜，希望之後能夠出有公民沉睡者3嘅作品，如果有嘅話我會繼續購買支持

取っ掛かりは難しいという印象。
でもゲームをプレイしていくうちに「こういう流れか？」「こうすれば円滑」というのがだんだんわかってくる。
選択肢にプラスサイコロ、行動にサイコロ。命運がサイコロに委ねられ、時として詰みそうになる。
奥深い物語に没入して、気がつけば何時間もプレイしていたりする。
ダークな世界観で容赦のない人間関係。
前作をプレイしてないのでわからなかったものの、プレイしていく中で理解していく人間のエゴの物語。
大友克洋作品を彷彿とさせるよう。

と、ここから個人的なもの。
エモい。人間関係がエモい。
主人公に対する、捕食者の執着や相棒との絆に沸き立つ。

This is a recapturing of the cozy and unsettling lightning-in-a-bottle that is Citizen Sleeper, done very well! Art is exquisite, soundtrack is beautiful, the writing and gameplay really makes every threat and every human moment come to the forefront. It's definitely less 'open' than the first game, where the Eye has so many goings-on with multiple different ways to complete a major quest -- Citizen Sleeper 2 offsets this with extra locations, more cast members and various contracts; quests not dissimilar to a few intense segments in the first game, with multiple ways to complete (or fail) them so no chosen class or crew is hardwalled. The ending is sweet, and while not as fleshed out as the first game's multiple endings, still offers variety and one hell of a journey that's roughly double the length of a typical CS playthrough :)

I am not sure all the new mechanics work, and I understand the desire to make pushing your luck have consequences; but as any player who has had two or three hands of 1s or 2s in a row will understand, the pain of trying to progress the story can be real.

The writing is great again, but just a touch on the long side, and the dialogue decisions didn't seem to arrive at the most consequential moments? Overall I enjoyed the experience but would prewarn you its 95% reading 4% playing 1% hating your rolls

Citizen Sleeper 2 to niezwykle ludzkie science fiction. Gra w sposób delikatny pokazuje strachy, nadzieje i radości życia człowieka, a na koniec potęguje to zostawiając odpowiednio dużo niedopowiedzeń. Mimo, że sporą część gry odczuwałem duży brak voiceoveru, który pomógłby w budowaniu emocji tak na końcu i tak nie obyło się bez łzy. Od strony opowieści polecam wszystkim, którzy lubią dobre sf albo szukają melancholijnych, ale też pełnych nadziei historii.
Gra jest bardzo przyjemna wizualnie, główna atrakcją są różnorodne designy kolejnych postaci, które napotykamy na swojej drodze. Wygląd miast nie jest na najwyższym poziomie, ale lokacje są różnorodne w kształtach i czuć, że to zupełnie inne zakątki kosmosu.
Jeśli chodzi o gameplay to gra jest solidna. Mechanika jest dosyć prosta, ale z pomocą losowości, naprawdę dobrze wprowadza stawkę do naszych dział, przez co gameplay przez większość gry sie nie nuży. Jedną z rzeczy co do których mam mieszane uczucia to fakt, jak różne w poziomie wyzwania są początkowe etapy w stosunku do tych dalszych. Na początku gra wydaje się naprawdę trudna, a stawiane wyzwania budzą dużo emocji, natomiast im dalej w grę tym poziom trudności i napięcia, radykalnie spadają. Natomiast faktem jest, że trochę sam jestem sobie winien, ponieważ zrobiłem prawie wszystkie (jeśli nie wszystkie) zadania poboczne, przez co na koniec gry miałem prawie wymaksowaną postać.
Jedyna rzecz, która mniej mi się podobała, to mechanika glitchy. Nie wiem czy to kwestia wyboru postaci, ale moim przypadku 99% razy gliche nie miały znaczenia i po prostu szedłem do statku robić akcję, która była zupełnie bezpieczna.

Podsumowując świetna gra, bardzo polecam c:

They some how took the charming, simple yet layered gameplay of the first game and made it even better. With the added mechanics and cast of new characters, Citizen Sleeper 2 is an amazing sequel. And as someone who hates reading in games, I hung on every line in this, which is a testament to the great writing and storytelling.

Citizen Sleeper weaves a world and introduces you to characters that you will remember long after you have rolled credits. I often found myself reflecting on decisions or just pausing to think about what I'm about to do.

It's exactly what I was looking for in a sequel to the first game. It's not easy to do a sequel, both renewing the experience and keeping what got people coming in the first place. This game delivers. And I'm sure it can also stand alone.
It is indeed more of the same, but packaged a little bit differently with new challenges. I ended up playing in story mode difficulty because that's what I signed up for. Just enjoying the amazing writing is already enough, and after my first death I thought the challenge wasn't for me. Glad it was an option. Might do it again in harder difficulty later.
This game is beautiful, expands on the lore very well and created such a vivid picture of the helion system I feel inspired to write about it.

199个循环，比1翻了一倍还要多。打完了首先浮现在脑海的竟然是，终于打完了！
和1一样，还是熟悉的味道，还出现了很多1出现过的角色，甚至还提到了1中的梦游体。1中一些戛然而止的人物故事线在本作也得到了展开，真好！
喜欢里面所有的角色，尤其是女角色和非二元角色。喜欢茱尼和妮娅，可惜因为加点很少带她俩跑合同，倒是经常带卡狄特，好可惜。加入弗林特梦游体这个角色很不错，一直都在和人类打交道，我都快忘了“我”是什么样子。可惜的是本作塑造的角色太多，和每个人的连结都没有那么深入，有些剧情做完了就完成了，很多感受只是在靠文字疯狂渲染，带给我的印象和体会没有那么深。
相比1是在同一个地理位置展开，本作把范围放大到一片星系上，到处航行体会不同地方的特色也很有意思。但其实相比1而言我会觉得塞的东西有点太多太散，虽然感觉内核什么的都没怎么变，但玩下来会觉得有点累，有点不太想开二周目。很多地方为了推进剧情/发布任务，导致主角的工具人意味实在太明显。如果做成可以拒绝和更自由的选择机制或许会更好。而且限时任务导致骰子点数和roll的结果非常关键，我有时候会闭上眼疯狂祈祷roll出正面结果……想要的随机性可能是剧情选择上的随机性，骰子刷新和掷出的随机性需要和游戏趣味性再平衡下。但资源依旧比较充足，令人安心。
一如既往优秀的bgm和立绘，本作还多了对各个星球的建模和绘制，也是一样有意思啊。想要设定集。
相比上一作的哲学意味少了很多，更多侧重在与人的互动和描写，结尾也很好，但没有上一作带给我那么大的感触。
好像一直在比较！但整体而言还是会推荐买来玩！我真的太喜欢深空梦里人这个系列的世界观和设定还有各种角色了！

[spoiler] 如果要说不打二周目我最遗憾什么那就是没带布利斯侦察暗面！！气死我了把这个给忘了，我可太想看你和你前女友有啥剧情了呵呵你俩到底咋认识的…… [/spoiler]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, what a game! It's just as deep and thought provoking as the original, but it feels unique enough to not get repetitive. After a punishing first contract I switched difficulty to easy and enjoyed it a lot more after that, and I also liked seeing a lot of familiar faces. The storytelling, the music, the choices to make (and often wondering what was a result of my choices/rolls vs set events) all made this an excellent game.

With every sequel i get a bit worried, if it can reach quality of previous title, so i'm glad, Citizen Sleeper did not failed me.

I took break after finishing first one as it has so rich and captivating story to tell. And here we are again. 11 hours in one sitting ( again ) as i did not want to disturb pace and tension between characters and story. Just like first one, you won't be disappointed, when credits roll. Everything you loved in Citizen Sleeper is present with slight changes, that makes this game feel unique and not just copy/pasted.

Full Spoiler Ahead
Ok, as a fan coming from Citizen Sleeper 2, the gameplay improve like a lot, a leap but i really hated how you cannot go full upgrade until like at the end of the game will it pretty much ended and becoming useless now, some stuff like farming mushroom the fact that it take away energy is insane and would be super useful in mid game is it not so ass in late game, the crew is nice however the fact that they cannot do anything beside Local mission is really dumb, so if you name is not Bliss,Kadet,Serafin,Juni there a incredible high chance is that you will not appear anymore with maybe only 1 extra mission and that it, no mention or anything so that was a waste, the big bad villian also not really a threat like at all if you know how to time management, they pretty much appear in the beginning, disappear and only for a short while mid game just to completely gone again and appearance so short it straight up a cameo at the end ngl, overall i do like the gameplay with some really inconvenience there and there
The story however took a huge step back, i do not really feel any emotional attachment to any of them, majority of the time i feel like when a crew member died or in a super bad situation, it more like bothersome than anything "meh" Citizen Sleeper 1 while have kinda a wacky gameplay with RNG involvement it does have a huge backed by rich and depth support cast, this game opted for variety which suck a lot and gone for the depth of the character
The art direction as well as the environment of the map is a bit more polish but the variety of the environment and map is a leap forward co commendable them for that

If you loved the first game, Citizen Sleeper 2 absolutely feels like coming home — just with a bigger ship and more friends along for the ride.

Like the original Citizen Sleeper, the sequel Citizen Sleeper 2 leans hard into its moody cyberpunk vibes: a harsh, unforgiving system, urgent stakes, messy survival, and people just trying to carve out meaning in a galaxy that would rather chew them up. And I loved every second of it.

The dice mechanic remains my favorite part of the entire experience. Pre-rolling your dice at the start of each cycle and then deciding how to spend them across jobs is such a simple but brilliant system. It creates this constant tension between hope and damage control. Do you risk a chance at a negative consequence or do you end hopefully get better rolls but risk the passage of time bringing a new stressor? It’s strategic without ever feeling bloated — and deeply thematic. You’re literally budgeting your luck.

What elevates this sequel, though, is the crew system. Not only are you picking up side quests to spend your dice on, but now you can bring crew members along, adding their skills and dice into the mix. It makes jobs feel collaborative, like you’re actually building something with these people rather than just surviving alone. And because the writing is so strong, I genuinely cared about who I brought and why.

It’s been about a year since I played the first game, so I can’t perfectly compare the narrative depth beat-for-beat. But I can say this: I connected with these characters. I got invested. I wanted to help them. I wanted to see what happened next. That’s the magic of this series — it makes quiet, text-driven moments feel huge.

I will say the difficulty felt slightly lighter this time around. In the first game, I remember real stress — staring at my dice and wondering if I was about to spiral into disaster. I didn’t feel that same level of panic here (maybe I just rolled incredibly well), but I still felt pressure to use my resources wisely and avoid serious consequences. And honestly? I wasn’t looking for punishing difficulty. I wanted more Citizen Sleeper — new stories, new faces, familiar themes — and that’s exactly what I got.

Seeing returning characters and references to the first game was also such a treat. There’s something powerful about meeting people again in a changed system — older, altered, shaped by time. It made the universe feel continuous and lived-in.

I devoured this game. I rushed through contracts, agonized over choices, bonded with my crew — and when it ended, I wasn’t ready. I just wanted to keep taking jobs across the galaxy with them.

A worthy successor in every sense. If you loved the first, this one feels like stepping back into a world that still has more to say — and more people to care about.

An incredible sequel to the first, adding more systems that up the complexity of your choices at each step. Failure has real stakes, but when it happens it feels like it was supposed to happen, not that things would have been better if you'd succeeded every time. The story is expansive with more and deeper characters than the original. Completely phenomenal all the way through.

An interesting, text-heavy sci-fi adventure akin to the first game, but with crew members and space travel. Writing is good (which is vital in a game like this), the soundtrack likewise (some of the tracks will leave you humming along for days). Visuals are a mix between perfectly serviceable 3D location graphics and great Guillaume Singelin's 2D art for characters (which is a big part of the game's charm).

The only major downside is the RNG and how heavily this game leans on it. You will get slapped in the face by poor rolls (seems to happen more often than really good rolls), but it's part of the game design and you'll just have to roll with it (pun intended). 'Embrace the failure' someone said - but it will result in gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, for sure! Also, some of the missions really punish certain character skill sets, almost cripplingly so, making the 'game balance' a bit hit or miss.

All in all, I liked the game and would recommend it as long as you are prepared to read a lot and not get mad at the RNG.

Yeah no, massive downgrade over the original title. Whereas the original citizen sleeper wasn't so reliant on RNG as even there you had a lenient hand in your operations, even if the game rolled poorly dice after dice (I actually nearly lost that way, because I needed a 1 dice to complete the only available mission, but even then I bounced back and got into a smooth rythm from then on); oh but here? You now have stress, which will degrade your dies and eventually make them unusable until repaired - like the original had if you were running low on drugs - only whereas there it was an easy and quick fix, here you have to hope you have the resources neccessary to fix them up (spoilers: I didn't). That means that, if the game decides it wants to roll poorly cycle after cycle, it basically just ends your run right there and then. Another new feature is the glitched dies and they are WONDERFULLY STUPID! If you max out your stress meter you'll get a *permanent* glitch die. Those dies have a flat 20% to succeed, no way to improve the value or get rid of them. By now you already have two RNG systems working against you that can end your run, and now you're introducing a 3rd one. How great. And then finally, the contracts. Although they were definitely a neat idea, they also have a very stupid problem: you can't leave until you finish. Why is that bad? Oh no reason, just that sooner or later you'll get cucked by the three RNG systems that your crew will be max stress (can't use them until you finish the contract), and you'll be running on only one die due to previous failed RNG rolls. In my case, the last remaining die was glitched. How fun.

All of that I experienced in under two hours of gameplay on the base difficulty. It's not fun. When you have so many mechanics actively going against you and you barely getting to help with them I really don't see how one is supposed to find enjoyment in progressing through the story.

Devs, I don't know what you were thinking when introducing so many changes and not thinking about creating failsafes, but the lack of those failsafes can and will ruin the experience of many straight off the bat.

I really liked the first one, but this is a step back in every way.
The game system is ATROCIOUS, the Stress & Glitch system are overly punishing and therefore best avoided at all cost, which kind of makes the stakes LOWER instead of higher, because you will just not engage with those RNG rolls. Even on hardest difficulty it's quite easy after the first few cycles, but it's just UNFUN.

Same goes for the exploration and 'timer', it's trivial to a point where it is just kind of annoying. There are no stakes, the story is super boring, characters are uninteresting and you don't have much choice.

I sadly can't recommend it. Play the first one instead if you haven't.

Citizen Sleeper 2 is a major disappointment. I loved the original game, it was such a heartwarming story of hope and solidarity and rebuilding in a post-collapse sci-fi world. I bought a bunch of tracks off the soundtrack because the music was so good, then went back and bought the developers' debut game In Other Waters which turned out to be even better than Citizen Sleeper. Both games were quiet, calm slice of life VNs set in a future where people are mostly kind and curious and care about exploration and research and cultivation and maintenance... Solarpunk vibes, but in space. I cried because they were so beautiful.

I almost cried over Citizen Sleeper 2, but it was out of sheer frustration. Everything that was great about the In Other Waters narrative style is ignored in the first hour of this game as it leans into the already-tedious dice roll mechanics of Citizen Sleeper 1, adding hit points and a stress meter and permanent glitches that stack to make every action in the game take longer and more likely to lead to the "failure" outcome. The problem is, in a story-driven game, adding a random number generator to try create dramatic tension is a crutch, and you'll see that straight away if you use Cheat Engine to remove the infuriating stress mechanics like I eventually did after 4 hours of bashing my head against the wall of LOL bad dice roll you're dead. If the story doesn't get you to feel anything just through the writing, then it's a failure of the story to be interesting on its own merits, and that's the biggest disappointment of all in a sequel to a game where the whole appeal was how the writing made you feel.

Yes, the music is still great. Yes, the universe and lore is still deep and vibrant. But this sequel feels like a mobile game cash-in, where gambling mechanics are wrapped in a bit of fan service to try get people hooked. The narrative trick of introducing unlikeable/problematic companions in the first game is doubled-down on here, where each new person you meet lies, cheats and steals but in order to discover their true inner beauty you have to overlook all of that. It's fine when it's just one or two characters, but it's boring and implausible when it's everyone. Meanwhile there are cameos from characters in the previous game that don't feel like they really progressed in a way that adds to the story, which makes it feel cheap and unnecessary. As if to really drive the point home how hollow and timewasting the dice mechanics are, this whole game ends up being shorter than its predecessor, while also gating a couple of achievements (although I am almost certain not story outcomes) behind a second playthrough. What is this, a roguelike? Give me a break.

It wouldn't be so crushingly disappointing if In Other Waters hadn't been such a masterpiece. Perhaps the fall off should have been clear given Citizen Sleeper 1 introduced the first iteration of these insipid gambling mechanics. I foolishly expected this game to learn from what didn't work in Citizen Sleeper 1 and focus back in on crafting a really compelling narrative, but alas seems like Citizen Sleeper 2 is more about finding ever-more-convoluted ways to play dice than telling a good story.

Pretty good gameplay for a mostly text based game but the writting is kinda iffy when actually playing throigh it. As far as it goes its solid but there is no tension in your choices at all becuase as along you pick the option to trust the charactors hand best outcome always happens. So its hard for the game to have real stakes in the story. Though the mysterie of it all is very well done.

The writing, art, and music of Citizen Sleeper 2 are just as excellent as the first game, if not more so. For that alone, it must be experienced. The gameplay is a much more chill experience, largely lacking the ticking clocks and juggling of tasks which defined CS1. In that reduction of tension, I do feel it loses a bit of the magic of the first game. However, the more sequential approach also means that it stays strong the whole way through, never suffering the loss of purpose that CS1's late game struggled with. It is very much a worthy successor, and anyone with a heart and soul owes it to themselves to experience both games.

I'm enjoying it but I struggled with the brutal save system - I would normally save / reload / save so being forced to continue or take the stark choice of starting again after one too many negative outcomes, when you're several hours of gameplay in, is hard to get used to. The world building and atmosphere are characteristically strong, the core mechanisms feel a bit more punishing than the first game. I chose to play the game on casual difficulty and suddenly found myself enjoying it a lot more, that and I learned how to repair dice (and how to avoid damaging them so much / so quickly). It does end rather suddenly and does encourage a bit of replaying to tidy up the loose ends but *spoiler* like Cyberpunk 2077, the game kicks you back to a slightly earlier state once the credits roll for the first time (the CS2 equivalent of meet Hanako at Embers).

一言难尽....
首先习惯性好评吧，做得很用心，所以不给差评了。但是剧情游戏应该明白自己在干什么。就是你的主旨是什么，主题是什么，然后所有剧情都是为了这个主旨服务的。有的时候剧情游戏不好玩也可以接受，但是剧情必须精彩，这里就不给一些很著名的不好玩但是剧情好的剧情游戏点名了，但总之大家都知道是怎么一回事。
我是玩了一代来玩这一部的，但是看下来感官很...故事的表达很细碎，东一榔头西一棒槌，主题混乱，不知道作者最终想要讲一个什么样的故事。我的意思是，我把大部分支线都打了，我帮助了很多人，然后呢？你想要表达的是...?结局更是莫名其妙，好像到了结局突然想赛博朋克一下，觉得就这样一路几乎顺风顺水推到结局太圆满了，于是给了个含糊其辞戛然而止的开放式结局，但是出来的效果就是玩了一整局连个交代都没有就结束了。完了我在那里一琢磨，我不就是纯粹在这里当了十来个小时的工具人？
别误会，不是说主角不能帮别人的忙，但是主角帮大多数人的忙都没有什么回报（除了钱）。这是个剧情游戏，你应该以精彩的剧情奖励玩家，最后你给了点任务金币把玩家打发了，就很敷衍。如果你是一个MOBA游戏或者动作类游戏，你角色的故事写什么样都行，认真看的人屈指可数。但作为一个剧情，每个角色的剧情都写得这么一般，充满了这样一股戛然而止的科幻味道，就是...真的让人很遗憾，做出来每个角色、每个故事作者好像都淡淡的，没有什么特别大的热情。
真的给我玩伤感了，甚至都谈不上不好玩，就是好淡一碗虚拟白开水，喝下去只感觉好无所谓。

I loved CS1, it is such a surprising and thought-provoking game, which meant my excitement for a follow up was high, as were my expectations for CS2.

CS2 is marginally more expansive than its predecessor, adding a more complex resource management system to complete travel, hugely impactful dice penalties and blocked skill paths that remain locked throughout the game - among others. The latter affected my playthrough considerably during the early stages of the game, when ‘Endure’ skill tree is blocked due to the character type and my other skills trees are at a low level.

All other aspects of CS2 are similar to the first; text heavy dialogue, lots of detail, excellent writing, philosophical quandaries and decisions to be made – although most don’t seem as difficult as CS1. I found the characters for CS2 much less compelling versus those in CS1, at times, they were simply hard to like. Once I’d completed the game, there were 1-2 characters I was pleased to reach the finally with, but generally, they seemed to lack depth.

Compared to the first game, I found myself skipping dialogue, shuffling in my chair a little more, I wasn’t as transfixed on this story line. Partly, I believe that’s down to the game ‘resetting’ our character from CS1 – the protagonist felt slightly unknown to the gamer.

Finally, the ended was a disappointment and it wasn’t until I completed the final step, I realised there wasn’t anything else – that was it, a tad deflating. CS2 is a good game and like many sequels it doesn’t quite have the charm of the original, but credit must go to the developers for adding additional game play mechanics and expanding upon the original. If you enjoyed CS1, you will in enjoy CS2, but it won’t hit you like CS1 and the philosophical questions are replaced with the stresses of glitched dice...

Similar construct as the first game.
The added punitive system for Dice, Corruption and "Fatigue" brings this game to a frustrating level. Makes for a far less enjoyable game where any Dice served below 3 is not worth playing. Character selection is near non-existant in most cases and the feeling of freedom of doing contracts feels mostly fake and orchestrated.
The game teaches mechanics through failure loops and removes a sense of agency that was so pleasant in the first game. A very negative 3 hours of play, multiple re-starts and an unfortunate DNF for me. Will not play nor recommend. The first game was better and did not require these new mechanics to make it fun.
