Citizen Sleeper Reviews
Citizen Sleeper Review Round-Up
Only one day until Citizen Sleeper releases. The coverage embargo has lifted, and reviews are starting to come in. Here's what people are saying:
Waypoint: Citizen Sleeper stands out as one of the best games of the year, with great writing that avoids easy outs. - Renata Price
The Guardian - 4/5: There are far more stories to tell in this fascinating universe, and this is some of the finest video-game sci-fi writing out there. - Lewis Packwood
Inverse - 8/10: The story of Citizen Sleeper is one of the most thoughtful and emotionally satisfying I’ve ever played. Your story will be different, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you find out what it is. - Bryan Lawler
Destructoid - 9/10: ...a sci-fi story that sticks. Some stories were good, and others hit me like a bag of bricks. - Eric Van Allen
Metro: An absorbing mix of tabletop inspirations and sci-fi storytelling, that makes for one of the most unique and well-written games of the year. - Adam Starkey
Press Start - 9/10: It's not often that a game grabs me in quite the way Citizen Sleeper has. Top-notch writing, impeccable narrative design and inviting tabletop mechanics accompanied by gorgeous art and music serve only to elevate it even more. Play this bloody game. - Kieron Verbrugge
Rock, Paper, Shotgun: A swish sci-fi RPG full of decent folk and just the right amount of scum. - Brendan Caldwell
ComicBook.com: Citizen Sleeper has captured my imagination in a way that few video games do. - Rollin Bishop
Screen Rant: Citizen Sleeper is fantastic. It's a deep and well-crafted narrative experience with a fascinating setting, and is filled with plenty of challenging questions for players to ponder over. This is a game that gets cyberpunk right. - Rob Gordon
Polygon: Capitalism is an endless bitch, but I quickly learn that even in the face of truly bleak choices, the game always allows the Sleeper to retain a soft, haunting sense of humanity through dialogue and actions. - Alexis Ong

One Week Until Launch
We're only a week out from the release of Citizen Sleeper! Let's cover off the skills you'll need to consider before you begin the game, along with the strengths and weaknesses of each character class.
ENGINEER: Work with machines and physical tools.
INTERFACE: Work with digital interfaces.
ENDURE: Use strength or strength of will.
INTUIT: Approach problems with awareness.
ENGAGE: Approach a problem head-on.
THE OPERATOR
The Operator is the Sleeper who is closest to the digital world of emulated minds and AI protocols. Has a +1 to 'Interface'. Will certainly be helpful in hacking and gathering secrets. But with a -1 to 'Endure', in their weakened state you'll want to be careful with your choices.
THE EXTRACTOR
Extractors are the Sleepers who, in particular, spend a lot of time alone in dangerous places. A good brute force option, with a +1 to 'Endure'. However, they often won't notice the bigger picture whilst problem solving, which could have consequences. Takes a hit to 'Intuit' with -1.
THE MACHINIST
Machinists are tinkerers, diligently keeping AI controlled tech and drones working in the field. A good option if you want to get your hands dirty with odd jobs from the start in the shipyard. Benefits from a +1 to 'Engineer', although suffers a -1 to 'Engage', which affects their ability to approach problems head on.
Citizen Sleeper awakens - May 5, 2022.
Check out the date announcement reveal trailer.
