After Cyberpunk 2077's shaky launch, faith in CD Projekt RED had fallen to new lows. However, over the years the game has been improving. Though, it always felt like something was missing. The story was good, really good, but it was missing that special "something". With Phantom Liberty, oh boy, I don't know where to start. Firstly, the story and characters are all unique and memorable. Elba's performance was astonishing. However, as to not spoil anything, I won't go much into the story. However, to make everyone want to buy this, I must comment on both the endings to Phantom Libery and the new ending for the main game. Firstly, Phantom Liberty. The ending...holy s*it. The music, the visuals, it is as if you combined all the best Bond intros into one. It is Goldeneye, Casino Royale and Spectre all combined and turned up to 11. The ending to the main game though, damn. It really does delve into something games rarely delve into. What happens to the main character when the game is over? What does their future hold? The new heartwrenching ending answers all of these in the most emotional epilogue to any game I've played to date. I can confidently recommend the Phantom Liberty expansion to anyone who wants an emotional spy thriller built on top of the excellent atmosphere of the Cyberpunk universe.
