Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Phantom liberty is a masterclass in narrative and cinematografy, while maintaining the immersive first person experience of the original title. It comprehends the strong elements of the game, encouraging the exploration of the combat system with repeatable fights, and additions that complement the (now) well tuned structure of the game

Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game, addictive for many hours, and the expansion only highlights the advantages of the game. I sincerely recommend it and remember "Good Morning Night City"

The story is well written and acted out expertly. There's suspense, intrigue, and a little bit of sorrow to be had. Interactions are real and timed perfectly. 9.5 out of 10. The gameplay is good. Sometimes you don't get bullet reg, and when leaning you're bullets can hit the corner you're on. Even though there's nothing there. The double tap to dash needs to go. It's terrible. I've died from falling so many times because of it. Police will randomly shoot you and if you shoot back, the world is after you. I was chased for about 20 minutes. More cops than cars and people combined. Nothing worked to evade them. They popped up everywhere. After about fifteen minutes, I gave up and just stood by a dumpster. They circled me for another five minutes before they left. That had to be bugged. The cops have always been bad, but that was extreme. 6.5 out of 10. The graphics ares good. I've encountered more bugs out of phantom liberty than I did with the original game. I had to turn off raytracing and a few other things. Performance was too bad. 8 fps most of the time. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x, a 3070 gpu, 32 gb of ram, and 1000 watt power supply. The game still looks great with those settings off, but I'm not getting the true experience. Optimization, 6 out of 10. My biggest complaints are the talk to Bill mission is bugged, a lot of original mission are highlighted for me to replay, and the poor performance with Ray tracing on. All in all, I've really enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077. Phantom Liberty just made it better.

The new systems and reworks, made it feel like a fresh, new game to me. Keeping the original storylines, plus the new story with added voice actors has been just a pleasure to play through. I truly hope that CD Project learns from this, and keeps this IP open, making new games in the Cyberpunk universe, because obviously, like myself, people are truly interested in it.

Better than a bacon poutine with extra cheese curds.
