If you’ve managed to make it through all the story content Cyberpunk 2077 had to offer, and want an excuse to go back to netrunning and samurai sword slashing, Phantom Liberty has you covered. I am happy to say that A lot of chasing, then a little chasing. I was dropped in Dogtown, a new location to explore in Phantom Liberty. There’s a new story, new gigs, airdrops with coveted loot, new cyberware upgrades in the form of relics, new perks, and perhaps more to discover when we return in September. will be
First, when you return to Night City, you’ll receive a message from Songbird and a mission: Save the new President of the United States. She has crashed and you must get her out of behind enemy lines before Hansen’s men arrive. Dogtown’s greatest villain, Hansen, doesn’t seem to like President Myers very much. It’s up to you to save her from the fire.
As for the story, the overall feeling I was left with after playing the first hour or so was one of unease. Not because there was anything wrong, but simply because I felt I could not trust these people. Immediately after meeting the President, I was asked if I would take the oath immediately. To be fair the demo was flying around so maybe this character could grow a bit more for me but I definitely hesitated to trust someone I just met in the cyberpunk 2077 universe . After all, the last time I did, I was half awake. Dead and buried under garbage in a dump with people trying to loot my corpse.
That anxiety wasn’t helped much by Johnny Silverhand, who shared some revelations about his past during the mission. What he told you makes the decision to pledge allegiance to President Myers even more difficult. I was happy to hear from Silver Hand again after a long absence. And hearing his reaction during his pass in this particular story will definitely hit old-fashioned heartstrings as he progresses to one of the new endings only seen in The Phantom of His Liberty.
Since the game always talks to Hanako and is saved just before crossing the point of no return, Phantom Liberty is a brand new to completion that can only be played by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S owners (and PC, of course). provide the way . My favorite ending so far is the so-called suicidal act, but I welcome the opportunity to see how this plays out in the end.
Solomon Reed, played by Idris Elba, is a phenomenal addition to the cast and really brings weight to his role. As mentioned before, that lack of trust extends to him as well, as he is presented with his typical poise and no-nonsense demeanor when seeking backup following the President’s orders. His life may not have been as glamorous as you’d hoped, partly because he’s been side-by-side with the president, but for me, the circumstances make his loyalty even more questionable. Now Characters burned by those in power? Well, one day I expect the other shoe to fall off.
The focus for the 90 minutes was primarily on this story of Solomon Reed, President Myers and Songbird. But the most memorable mission for me was one of his new jobs I found in Dogtown. The main reason is that I feel that I played wrong.
There were many other gigs I could have attended, but the gig I ended up doing was helping a city doctor who seemed to be trying to make life better for the people of this city. rice field. You met him trying to fit a citizen’s cyberware to his body type. Since I have experience in the technology field, I used the interactive options to help solve the problem. I was then sent on a mission to retrieve the doctor, and upon arrival I was met by an angry woman who fired several shots into her doctor’s forearm. In her panic I shot her, but unfortunately for her I think my choice was wrong.
Because, as I later learned, this doctor had kidnapped her brother and was conducting human experiments on her body, which made her furious. Trying to get him back, she confronts him, but she ends up dying at my hands – meanwhile, the doctor was a total asshole. So who will V kill in the next playthrough as soon as this expansion drops?
Generally speaking, Dogtown, like most of Night City, isn’t the most welcoming place. However, jumping into a seedy basement in an already seedy location has many advantages. For example, the black market scene is full of fun new toys to play with. For example, new weapons, vehicles with machine guns and rockets to play with, and even cyberware that enhances already incredibly powerful attacks.
For example, with the new relic system, you can power up your monowire to act like the whip from Castlevania. However, it also applies an instant quick hack while dealing physical damage. Charging Projectile Launch allows him to fire a volley of missiles at whatever he targets instead of just detonating it once. And with a powered-up set of Mantis Arms, you can trigger one of his new in-game executions, instantly teleporting you via a boost to enemies on the other side of the room, allowing you to unleash a chain of murders. can be continued. These, along with the new perks, are very excited about the new build Mini-Max.
The last time I had a chance to try it was an airdrop. This is just one of the world events he saw when I experienced it firsthand. A loud boom can be heard nearby, followed by rising red smoke to initiate a shootout to see who can get the loot first. Some have better items than others, but if you’re looking for a way to equip the new weapons found in Dogtown, sifting through the masses and picking up bags is all you need.
