Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector review

- Citizen Sleeper 2 is a sci-fi RPG developed by Jump Over the Age and published by Fellow Traveller. - The game is priced at .99 / £20.99 and does not feature multiplayer functionality. - The game focuses on managing resources, going on missions, and exploring the depths of an android body. - The protagonist in the game, an android 'Sleeper', must staple spare parts of themselves back together as their body degrades. - The game's mechanics do not fully align with its themes, but it still offers a unique and enjoyable experience. - Despite some flaws, the game is appreciated for its portrayal of broken, flawed, and fractured things.
