Citizen Sleeper 2 has a great story, but I still prefer the first one. The main problem I had with it is that after the recon to the Darkside, everything starts moving way too fast. A lot of storylines just suddenly end, and some of the conclusions feel kind of lame or too predictable. It made the whole thing less exciting for me, especially compared to how thoughtful and well-paced the first game was.

Continues the excellent sci-fi setting and writing of the first game. There are some differences in the systems and narrative approach but I think they support the way the two games tell different stories.

I loved the first so I am so disappointed in this one. I just finished an entire job where the payoff was that there was no loot at all. It is also heavily biased towards the player being the operator class, trying to be the other two are a waste of time.

First one felt fresh and new. This one has some nice additions (missions) but ultimately gets real bloated and repetitive quickly. New stations are just like other ones , unlock place to eat, supplies, make money, etc. Writing is bloated for my tastes. First one I was invested in and it felt a bit like a struggle - and with more gameplay choices. This one feels like the choices are purely superfluous and trivial (it becomes obvious which choices are optimal when going to next cycle, what crew to get to supplement your char, you can't do anything with dice until they break, etc), only upgrades that are worth it are the ones to supplement your dice + values - making the upgrade system 1 dimensional, slow and unfortunately uninteresting. It lines you up for just going down the few various side missions (and main) with little deviation (feels on rails). Perhaps this was also true in the first , I can't recall, but this one feels only like more of the same , yet less interesting. It's unfortunate as the first was a surprise like for me and looked forward to this one and possibly some expanded decision making, game play elements , etc in a sequel but didn't find what I was looking for in it as much as possibly others. After 7hrs and getting through 4-5 systems I got bored sadly. Perhaps this genre isn't totally for me.

Overall a gorgeous game, but I'll admit, I had a difficult time pulling the energy to finish. I'll start by saying I absolutely loved the narrative of the first game – being anchored in The Eye and the deep roots you create with the community, ultimately leading to an incredibly meaningful decision at the end that beautifully tied together the theme of the game. What I felt the first game lacked was gameplay mechanics that fully meshed with the story in an impactful way.
Now for the CS2, the mechanics made up for what the first game lacked in spades. The dice glitches, building your crew and contract missions were engaging and added a level of challenge that I really enjoyed. However, I think the narrative suffered from a lack of focus and maybe the various locations and side plots being too expansive. I didn't have the same emotional investment in the characters and places that I had last time. The only moments I truly found myself moved were the nods to the first game, but I think without the background context, those moments don't pack as much of a punch. And lastly, I thought the writing of the end was beautiful, but this story really only has one end and I wish there was more agency with the final decision.
I still recommend CS2! But I'm a sucker for a good story that really utilizes gameplay as a medium, and I think my bar for was a little high from the first game.

Citizen Sleeper 2 and its predecessor are two of the most beautiful stories I've ever had the joy to experience. These games have taught me about myself through their exploration of the life of a Sleeper--an artificial being created from the emulation of a human mind.
The vibe, the music, the characters, the story, and the choices you make along the way are what make this game special. Play it.

This game might not be for anyone, but it is made from a passion of the heart. And I and i'm sure many others will deeply resonate with it's many themes, of identity, of the human condition, the struggle of peoples. Every person you meet in this game feels meaningful unlike in alot of RPGish games where they are alot of the time filler or just meatpuppets to kill.
This game makes you feel and resonate with most characters, or atleast understand them. A resonance of life. I think this is one of those games that once you attune and let the game inside of you, it becomes a small part of the self.
Personally for me i really resonated with Citizen Sleeper 1 for it's themes of the decaying body and when i noticed that we don't use stabilizer in this one here i was kinda disappointed. i liked how the mechanics displayed this reliance of medicine and the decay of the body. But this game still keeps it up in different and interesting ways, so i'd say my dissapointment was pre-mature. Honestly just Sleepers are used as a good allegory for a bunch of things, the struggle of identity, queerness and being used by capital. This game is art, up there with Disco Elysium.

Mechnanically more interesting until you realize that normal becomes trivial a few hours in. Well written but could marinate in it a bit more. some nice callbacks to SC1 but a few that feel a little heavy.
Contracts are great, but I wish they were a bit meatier.
Its well worth your time, but doesnt reach the highs of the first.

I agree with other reviewers that Citizen Sleeper 2 is a step down in every way from Citizen Sleeper 1. That doesn't make it a bad game, just not as good.
Citizen Sleeper 1 was a 9/10 game, Citizen Sleeper 2 is more like a 7/10 game.
