The Beautiful Melancholy of Citizen Sleeper [Review]

[@Anachletus]

I feel like this is an amazing story game, but at the same time that I would need to be in the right mood to be able to deal with the hardships of (a fictional) life to be able to get through it.

[@jambiient]

i went from "i really don't think this game is for me" to "oh well okay maybe i could see what it's about" also the ending was VERY adorable

[@MikaMikaoMai]

bro same.....

[@mirage3638]

I've never before enjoyed somebody explaining the instruction manual like this. Thank you (&Phil) for the great recommendation. I'm sure I'll be picking it up.

I adore Citizen sleeper so much - I’m on my second playthrough of it, this time as an extractor rather than machinist and I still can’t get enough of it. When I first saw it on gamepass I was practically immediately hooked from the thumbnail of it, the robot Android looking thing with the pink-ish background was so striking?? Against everything else?? And I was like Hell yeah I need to try this. I was pretty intimidated by the dice system at first, but im so glad it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be 💀- reminds me a little of Disco elysium!! The art style. Ohhh my god it is gorgeous to me I LOVE the outfits for the characters, the poses, the expressions, the way everyone looks so different from each other but also so clearly belong to the same place - and I thought their outfits were really well done as they really showed what kind of people they were (occupation wise etc) from first meeting. Lem my beloved,, though Ethan is definitely my favourite because of the sheer audacity of the man. Also : Hawaiian shirt. Plus the background!!! The BACKGROUND!!! It is genuinely so cool the way it’s modelled. The Eye isn’t overly detailed but it also has so many shapes and areas and I can’t even describe it My first playthrough as machinist, I had no idea what I was doing - my condition broke and I was panicking about what to do so hard LMAO I got scraps of metal to repair myself like my Life depended on it (it did, to be fair: but I didn’t die!!) and I was so enamoured with everyone’s drive. Even then though, I had no idea how much there actually was to the game, so when Lem’s drive came up, I immediately took the chance to get Sleeper and him off of the eye, and when I read the description of what sleeper thought what would happen, it was so so bittersweet I actually teared up. I really love what they’ve done with the characters. So far, I’ve started Tala , Navigator, Castor and Bliss’ drives, gotten further on Feng’s, finished Ankhita’s , Emphis’, Ethan’s and Lem’s drives and I haven’t even begun on other things because I’m just skipping from one place to the next - which I’m personally a huge fan of. I checked my stats for the game and in total I’ve played like 12 hours,,, I cannot wait for citizen sleeper 2 as well oh my god it’s gonna be sick

[@NocturneTheatre]

This game looks great! I should add it to my wish list. Aaaand I… already own it. Man, my backlog is disgustingly, unfathomably large. Thanks for the video! I’m downloading this game now. :)

[@RandomGameReviews]

The eternal backlog. Don't worry, this is a quick one! Hope you enjoy

[@cameronmyckatyn1555]

I really dig the art style. They are really cool character models.

[@JohnnyO117]

that patreon thanks is probably the best thing this channel has produced so far

[@RandomGameReviews]

Can't argue with that

[@SzymonAdamus]

Excellent review going into more essay field - which is great. Thanks.

[@gashansunu2995]

Glad to see a glowing recommendation about this game, more to add onto my CYOA pile

[@aves-panthera]

maaaaaan, this game's story/world seems RIGHT up my alley as far as sci-fi goes. the whole capitalist dystopia thing can feel a bit played out at times (and it's extremely easy to be too heavy-handed with it) but i can't be too critical of that since that's more or less the flavor of sci-fi story i'm in the middle of working on. that said... it's a shame, since i'm pretty sure i'd hate the gameplay. i can see the appeal but it strikes me as the type of story i'd rather read/watch than play myself.

[@RandomGameReviews]

I kinda thought the same thing going in but it's surprisingly addictive

[@aves-panthera]

@@RandomGameReviews i can absolutely buy that. knowing my tastes, i think this game would just stress me out too much to fully enjoy it.

[@BabeLightyear]

Omg your little girl at the end! That was so cute! 🥹

[@brianhufsmith477]

Looks really cool! Kinda gives off Disco Elysium vibes!

[@BabeLightyear]

Another great video. Thanks man!

[@no1winz]

I absolutely loved this game. It blew me away honestly.

[@charleshawk6668]

Subscribed. I like that game

[@noobtablet101]

Shouldn't the title of these be "A RNG" and not "an"? Since it's "a random number gen" Or to avoid the issue of pronouncing the acronym vs not, maybe just "RNG made me..." would be better?

[@RandomGameReviews]

I base it off the logic of saying the acronym as a word. An arr-en-gee. I'm going to be honest, I respect the hell out of you for bringing this up. I worry about this kind of stuff like it's my job.

[@noobtablet101]

@@RandomGameReviews Haha, understandably so. I see both pronunciations so half of the time it looks strange to me and the others it feels normal, I'm not too sure there is a better way than to just pick one like you did and run with it.

[@AZ23MJ]

@@RandomGameReviews for the record, you did it right. Thanks for the review. Sincerely, a teacher.

[@Dragon_Fyre]

I cannot end first cycle. Spent 20 minutes trying to figure it out and ready to just delete this game. Out of dice. Nothing to do but game is just broken.

[@RandomGameReviews]

You might still have a quest to do? Visit every unlocked location and see what happens

[@Dragon_Fyre]

@@RandomGameReviews I checked everything like 10x. I even tried a second game. There is simply no option to progress past first cycle. I’m going to just request a refund as the game doesn’t work.

[@joaquincardonaruiz2481]

@@Dragon_Fyre What do you see when you enter the container? You should have an option to sleep and end the cycle there
