Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

This game is worth every penny and worth the wait that it took to get fixed. The whole cyberpunk universe is such an amazing experience. Thank you cdproject red for fixing this game. It became one of the most amazing journeys. In a way, the cyberpunk game opens your eyes to real challenges of upcoming technologies and it makes you see first hand how society is related to technology vis-a-vis social interactions. Thank you Mike pondsmith for creating this beautiful world. I would recommend to unlock the secret ending, even if you had to play it 2 or 3 times. Lastly, i would like to point out that even though this game was released in a bad state, the phantom liberty expansion was just a proof how well CDPR were committed to this game. Huge thanks for that.

I, like many people, had a bad experience with Cyberpunk 2077 during it's initial launch, but after these last three years, it's become one of my top favorite games, and Phantom Liberty takes everything I liked, and maxes it out. I can't explain how much I loved it, so try it for yourself if you're interested, there's so much fun to be had. Idris Elba is absolutely fantastic, possibly one of my favorite video game characters that I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. He's so multidimensional, and it truly adds to the realistic feelings and relationship V has with him. Phantom Liberty has so much side content as well, but I never felt overwhelmed by it, because it was always so much fun.

I've done everything In cyberpunk, explored everywhere and ive tried to enter every building, done every mission a few times over and i can safely say this expansion is amazing, it adds to everything that made the game amazing in the first place, keanu gets more and amazing lines, idris elba does as well, some side missions had me stuck because i had to kill a character but their voice acting is so good i didnt want to. The new district is so amazing at catching a specific vibe they were going for, it makes you want to keep your gun out but even doing that is scary! And the story of the expansion is so amazing, it gets intense and adds a lot of lore, not just for V, not just for Johnny but the world too. Everything about it is amazing!

This is a pretty good expansion, with a great and emotional story to add to the already emotional story of the main campaign. I think it isn't 100% needed to fully enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 (unlike Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion).

There are some nice missions in this expansion, and some of the spy stuff reminded me a lot of James Bond and even a little Metal Gear Solid. The new characters are interesting and they all have two sides to them. It makes them all pretty unique.

So the main story of this is pretty good, the downside is Dogtown itself. It really doesn't look any different from other parts of Night City, sure it looks a tad bit more "Mad Max" like, but it isn't like Witcher 3's Toussaint map, which was almost the completely opposite of the dark and bleak world of the main game. Dogtown isn't interesting, there isn't anything cool to do there, and I thought this expansion was gonna open up the map more towards the outer top right area (since it was blacked out in the original).

Also Dogtown is extremely, extremely small, you can drive through Dogtown in maybe 30 seconds if you were to just go straight. I can't express just how tiny Dogtown is. Just imagine maybe 7 - 10 Night City blocks (squared).

Anyways, it adds a new but depressing ending, multiple choice regular endings, and a few cool missions and action set pieces, especially one in an airport (that is all I'm gonna say).

9/10 (I recommend fans to play this game, but casual players can probably get through Cyberpunk 2077 without going through this story)

To start off i'd like to say that Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of all time. Perhaps even my favorite piece of fiction. Everything about this world and its characters resonates with me, and Phantom Liberty is no different in that regard.

This expansion tackles a lot of themes already present in the main game, especially with certain characters being direct parallels to already established ones, and it's executed beautifully.

The soundtrack fits the world and the events that occur so well, It's hard not to get emotional just listening to it. The visuals are stunning. Just like in the main game, I found myself in photo mode regularly, it's hard to look away from the gorgeous cityscape.

The world and the way it's presented was nothing short of perfect. The blimps in the sky with the pictures of the dictator(s), the huge neon screen on the side of the big skyscraper, the hanging corpses on the signs and bridges. The moment you enter Dogtown, you instantly know what kind of place you've just entered.

I've also completed all of the new endings and I can confidently say all of them are beautifully written and each one of them is satisfying in its own regard. It was gut-wrenchingly hard picking which path I was going to walk.

I'm so happy to see my favorite game become what it was initially intended to be.
