Jun 20, 2022I game bits and pieces of I like very much. Reading narrative in the raspy voice of the limbic system in Disco Elysium helps very much. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't compare very favorably. Gameplay is addictive and simple like a mobile game, but after some hours it feels very much like busywork.

Apr 25, 2023It's a tabletop/text adventure-like game about struggle, the ownership of your body, and the survival on a capitalist space station. Quests and npcs abound where cycles and available dice dictate what you can and cannot do. I like the premise but the execution is too simplistic.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 25, 2024The game is an homage to board games, but also to classical literature. The lack of graphical glitz is compensated by quality texts, well-written characters and stories that do not lack surprising twists and themes typical for the cyberpunk genre. [Issue#321]

May 15, 2023I get excited and optimistic every time I experience games like Citizen Sleeper, Disco Elysium, and Pentiment. These RPGs draw as much on the design ideas of tabletop RPGs as they do from their digital counterparts. They focus on imparting their players with a desire to roleplay—to inhabit a particular world and character while feeling your way through interactions and choices—while having the self-confidence to do without combat or other easily gratifying genre conventions. Systems and mechanics are there to support the roleplaying experience rather than simply add to it. These games won’t necessarily be for every RPG fan, but they are helping expand our idea of what a digital RPG can be, and I’m here for it.

Jan 25, 2023Citizen Sleeper is a cyberpunk gem that tells an extraordinary, profound story and makes you think.
