Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty review

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is the latest and most ambitious expansion for the critically acclaimed RPG from CD Projekt Red. It adds a whole new city, Pacifica, to explore, along with new quests, characters, weapons, cyberware, and more.

But what makes Phantom Liberty stand out from the rest of the game is its focus on choice and consequence. In this blog post, I will review Phantom Liberty and explain why it is the culmination of CD Projekt Red’s efforts to create a truly immersive and interactive cyberpunk world.

Pacifica is a sprawling metropolis that was once meant to be a tourist paradise, but was abandoned by the corporations after a series of riots and gang wars. Now, it is a lawless zone where different factions vie for power and resources. You can ally yourself with any of them, or play them against each other, as you uncover the secrets of Pacifica and its mysterious benefactor, Mr. Blue Eyes. Pacifica is a stunning location, full of neon lights, graffiti, street markets, and hidden passages. It feels alive and dynamic, with random events and encounters that can change the course of your story.

Phantom Liberty also introduces new gameplay mechanics that enhance the RPG elements of Cyberpunk 2077. You can customize your character’s appearance and cyberware more than ever before, with new options for hair, tattoos, eyes, skin, and more. You can also upgrade your skills and perks with new cyberdecks, implants, and software that give you access to new hacking abilities, combat moves, and dialogue options. Phantom Liberty also adds new vehicles, weapons, and outfits that suit the aesthetic of Pacifica and its inhabitants.

But the most impressive feature of Phantom Liberty is how it handles choice and consequence. Every decision you make in Pacifica has an impact on the world and the people around you. Your actions can affect the balance of power between the factions, the fate of individual characters, and the outcome of the main story. Phantom Liberty has multiple endings that depend on your choices throughout the game, not just in the final mission. Some endings are happy, some are tragic, and some are surprising. Phantom Liberty also has a lot of replay value, as you can try different approaches and see how things change.

Phantom Liberty is a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay that elevates Cyberpunk 2077 to a new level. It is the culmination of CD Projekt Red’s efforts to create a cyberpunk world that is immersive, interactive, and responsive to your choices. If you are a fan of Cyberpunk 2077 or RPGs in general, you should not miss this expansion. It is worth every penny and every hour you spend in Pacifica.
