Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: cyberpunk, improved pool safety and a bit of venting.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Citizen Sleeper, Xbox
Over the Christmas holiday I finally introduced my partner to one of my favourite films, Blade Runner, which became a springboard for all things cyberpunk and an excuse to finally catch up on this Eurogamer recommended gem.
For fans of the cyberpunk genre, Citizen Sleeper ticks plenty of boxes: androids on the run, bounty hunters, corrupt corporations, hacking celestial cyber-entities, the horrors of capitalism. Yet rather than viewing all this through a harsh, cold lens, Citizen Sleeper’s human stories are warm, poignant, and intimate.
