Phantom Liberty is a strong expansion to the base game, and a reminder that, despite the rough start, the Cyberpunk 2077 universe is one I'd love to see further expanded in the future.

Phantom Liberty is an excellent DLC packed full of solid content from start to finish, and everyone who has enjoyed the original should play it. It's just a shame that the game can't fully shake the specter of technical issues.

It was a long road for CD Projekt RED from the botched launch of Cyberpunk 2077 to the game it has become with Phantom Liberty – and although the road was bumpy, the light at the end of the tunnel was real after all. The only expansion this game will receive has a fantastic storyline, plenty of feels, entertainment, joy, and technical bells and whistles.

Cyberpunk 2077 reaches its peak with the addition of a spy-thriller that brilliantly closes an important era for CD Projekt.

Where the base game may have initially failed to keep its word, Phantom Liberty delivers. Fans of Night City have plenty to look forward to; between relieving quality-of-life improvements, fresh ways to experience Night City, and a story that'll have players questioning their own values, it embodies all of Cyberpunk 2077's good, and almost none of it's bad.

After many years of fixing, it's great to see the trials of V and his/her adventure in Night City -seediness & all- now in its final Super Saiyan God form. The Phantom Liberty expansion is a helluva adventure as well featuring the best talent for its narrative, lovely structure and levels, and all-around captivating spy motif and cloak-and-dagger who-can-we-trust package.

Phantom Liberty is a brilliant addition to the world of Cyberpunk 2077, with the intriguing narrative and exciting missions playing to the game’s strengths perfectly. Add to that the fact that the recently released 2.0 update has brought an impressive evolution to the core gameplay experience and it’ll be easy to see that Cyberpunk 2077 is better than ever right now. It has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but Phantom Liberty is the perfect way to cap off what has been one of the best comeback stories in the world of gaming.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is undeniably a must-have. There's so much extra there with this absolutely worthwhile DLC. Simply put, different characters, various places, and different kinds of adventures. It's like the main game's endings but with greater variety. The time investment is well justified by the increased level cap, the additional cyberware, and the interesting new story.

Phantom Liberty's awkward placement in the Cyberpunk 2077 storyline and a bland major character coupled with a jumbled-up story prevent it from becoming an amazing spy thriller.

Phantom Liberty and update 2.0 absolutely makes Cyberpunk 2077 a lot closer to what its original vision had promised.

Phantom Liberty pushes Cyberpunk 2077 to a complete experience. It is a phenomenal story that appealed to me more than what the base version of the game offered. A new map section, a graphical upgrade, an improvement in gameplay systems. There is no better time to check out this game than now.

Phantom Liberty is a great addition to Cyberpunk 2077, giving us a great new story, a new perk tree, and a new district to explore. While still not perfect, this expansion and the massive 2.0 patch make this a game well worth playing (or re-playing).

While it leans heavily on spy genre tropes, and appears to be determined to separate itself from the wilder, futuristic ideas of its base game counterpart by focussing on more familiar, socially relevant political themes, Phantom Liberty is a compelling, cinematic story that expands the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

Phantom Liberty is a great Hollywood detective experience, and its exciting events are complemented by a very fun mission design. As soon as I finished it, I was shocked to notice that she had provided a cinematic experience without any cinematic scene! It gives a valuable lesson to those who wanted to provide an excellent cinematic experience and failed to normalize it with enough fun to play

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's expansion feels confident and proves it with several great ideas that expand on the solid foundations of the original game. It offers a complementary story of conspiracy, twists, and tension. You'll also meet a brand new cast of memorable characters. After its 2.0 update, but especially with the Phantom Liberty expansion, we have no problem continuing to argue that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games of the current generation.

CD Projekt RED has admirably stuck with the game past its launch troubles, offering patches and upgrades in the two years following as it looks to finally near towards its full potential. That work has reached full fruition through the arrival of both its vaunted Update 2.0 patch and full story expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, which combine to give the game an excellent new lease on life.

Phantom Liberty is an expansion that, by itself, manages to make up for the change of plans made by CD Projekt RED by not making the lack of a, future, second expansion felt. Content-wise, it shows itself to be solid.

With patch 2.0, "Cyberpunk 2077" fulfills many of the promises they made three years ago for release. However, just as many remain unfulfilled and since "Phantom Liberty" will remain the only DLC content, "Cyberpunk 2077" will never live up to the initial hype. Patch 2.0 nevertheless ensures that "Cyberpunk 2077" not only plays much better, but now almost all glitches and bugs have been eliminated, so that the base game alone is definitely worth a new playthrough. The "Phantom Liberty" expansion offers a lot of new missions and tells a very exciting story, but if you expect a new "Blood & Wine" like in "The Witcher 3", you will be disappointed again. The scope of the DLC is okay for the price, but by no means sets new standards.

Phantom Liberty is a stunning continuation of the excellent groundwork laid with Cyberpunk 2077 and remedies most (if not all) issues players had the first time around. The rebuilt skill and perk trees drastically alter the way you play and QOL improvements make Cyberpunk 2077 somehow, even grander than it was three years ago.
