Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

2.0 update and DLC Brought a lot of cool stuff 2.0 being awesome updated and content and DLC being an amazing story and its really is awesome it pulls you in from start to finish which was my big gripe with the base game deep story amazing characters but it never really immersed me despite it really wanting to. NOW MY only problem and this is something i suspected would happen from the trailers is that it doesnt fit thematically with the base game at times specifically in the middle part NOW down get me wrong its still awesome it just felt like 2 competly different games near the end it synced up but still couldnt shake that feeling Again i loved it and its def worth a playthrough but really i wanted something like the base game thematically but with the writing quality of the DLC ya know? I'll definitely play it again buts one of those things where ill have to decide at the start of each playthrough if i want to play it with that character ya know? Now im really sad cause its again its awesome just not what i wanted but i am really happy this game came back despite its flaw and im really excited for the next game i cant wait for whatever it brings

2.0 is a great sendoff to the game after a troubled launch. Phantom Liberty is a very good story packed with good characters and writing. 5/5 overall for the entire game and Phantom Liberty.

To counter the DRM-free crowd: the complaint is probably valid (my galaxy works and I'm not opposed to using it, so I can't test it). And equally likely it's not intentional behavior, just lack of testing. I'd wait for first patch before review bombing, reviews are easy to post and almost impossible to change later. But whatever. The game itself is fine. Some changes in 2.0 are questionable, mainly the level scaling. I'm firm opponent of it, it usually breaks any sense of progression. Now every level means you have to catch up to opponents instead of getting stronger... But CP implementation is far from the worst I've seen (looking at you, Morrowind/Oblivion). It's not too hard to keep up with enemies, it just gets little bland after a while. Loads of new weapons, and tons of iconic. So many that everything feels watered down. There is no real reason to look at anything other than iconic, and between them, there is also no real reason to choose one over another of the same category. Other changes feel neutral or good. The story on the other hand is excellent. Especially the last real main quest mission (Cynosure path, I have yet to try the other one). Excellent mechanics, and really heart wrenching to decide what should happen at the end. Technical state: there ARE bugs. Quest follow-up directs me to a guy selling hotdogs in garage to receive my reward, but the garage remains closed. There is achievement for getting max wanted level in Dogtown - but no matter who I attack, I can't get even single wanted star. Not to mention bugs remaining from base game (shooting grenade in air with revolver - I have shot down maybe 50 grenades without unlocking anything. Maybe I have to use new char instead of the one that remembers 1.0). All of them minor, main quest worked for me fine. Not the most polished release ever, but good enough to have many hours of fun. Looking forward for 2.01

Great expansion to an already great game. Dogtown is beautiful, fun to explore, 2.0 combat and gameplay suit the environment perfectly and the story is gripping all the way through. That said… bit of a sod to get the gog version running on my steam deck, wish there was more Linux support.

Already liked the base game and Phantom Liberty manages to top it. Great story, great characters and locations, awesome gameplay with the 2.0 update. I really feel like a ninja with my Katana/throwables build, optical camo and the insane mobility with the air dashes that also restore stamina as well as leaping towards your enemies with Katanas and Mantis Blades. What I also liked even better than in the base game was the music. It made me feel like the main character in an action/spy movie, especially during the fights. To all developers who had a part in making this: thank you for this awesome experience! Last but not least, the game looks and runs great on my GTX 1080 with AMD FSR 2.1 on Quality. And so far, I didn't have any crashes or major bugs.
