You can’t save the galaxy, but you can at least help your neighbors. Where other RPGs tend to cast players as saviors and fated heroes, one of the best games of 2022 explores a very different kind of quest. Starting as a hunted castaway, you’ll need to scramble and trade favors just to survive before paying it forward to change the fate of an entire space station. And as of today, it’s available free for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers.
Citizen Sleeper is far from your typical RPG. Much closer to tabletop RPGs than video games in many ways, Citizen Sleeper tells a tale that makes failure a necessary part of your adventure, and reminds you at every turn that the world doesn’t revolve around you. Instead, you’re cast as a Sleeper, a cloned human consciousness stuffed into a robot shell, who flees from their corporate captors and washes up on a station teeming with drama to dive into.
