Given Phantom Liberty’s superspy theme, I expected, nay, demanded a good high-society shindig infiltration level, and Cyberpunk 2077’s first and only expansion pack delivered. The centrepiece of the soiree mission was a long, tense dialogue puzzle where I had to earn the trust of a pair of deliciously awful French twins while playing high stakes roulette. I had to engage, provoke, and eventually befriend the international con artists all while I watched my funds provided by the FIA (Cyberpunk future CIA) dwindle away. Shoulda bet on black. At the last minute I chose a particularly inflammatory and insulting dialogue option and my handler pre-emptively chewed me out over the radio, but the little freaks absolutely ate it up. Maybe I am cut out for this superspy stuff.
is an extra-refined bite of – an expansion pack’s expansion pack. It doesn’t reinvent the game as a whole, but it’s a fantastic final outing for V and Night’s 2.0 update, free to all players, has reforged the original looter shooter gear deluge and +5% poison resistance-style perks system, giving us a more solid RPG whose under-the-hood systems better complement its shooting, slashing, and stealthing.
