Phantom Liberty DLC is so much details and depth story than the main story game because of the complexity of choices over following orders or be a human. There are many endings, I only managed to finish one ending. All those dialog choices are super tough, I was struggling the decide lol, dam that was GOOD!
Almost I don't know who to trust anymore. Geez...
Phantom Liberty is a great expansion and nails it as a spy thriller. The story and side stories are great and I would highly recommend experiencing the multiple endings!
disclaimer: I played on very hard, male V =APOGEE sandevistan + kiroshi ORACLE + hand cyberware only (nomad blackhand philosophy), female V = cyberdeck + hand cyberware + kiroshi only (corpo)
cons:
-become a sidekick/comic relief for spies, constantly reminding you they are better than you
-hand held then tap on your back (backseat then cheers)
-forced gameplay, subtly hidden QTE, forced gameplay style
-spoon-fed info dumping on characters motivations, feelings, thought process as if the player had no empathy
-one dimensionnal NPCs whose only depth is self-doubt
-BBEG being mean is evil because
-no analysis/thinking required from you , don't expect any from V
-Main quest is just james bond movies/Mission impossible plot stringed together (no originality)
-plot "twists" are obvious and lackluster
-borderline interactive movie
-plot holes
-immersion breaking NPC
-forced non removable cyberware for two incoherent missions ( and very poorly written)
-last mission gameplay is boring (but reinforced balckhand philosophyto be correct)
-lacks agency in main quest, can't side with BBEG or double cross everyone
-bravado like millenials write it, not like in the real action movies
-very heavy handed on sympathy strings to tell you who to side with
Pros:
-awesome artistic direction, music, scenery etc
-interesting psychological and philosophical themes
-good mix of side mission type
-endings (still faithful to the philosophical theme of the world)
-airdops are a fun grinding,farming, gameplay loop
I come back to this game every few years. Its always been exceptional and I always find something new and interesting that I haven't seen before on the next playthrough.
