It's unreal how much of a step up this was from the main scenario. It is brooding and somber, with elements of a spy thriller and even horror (which really surprised me.) It's both tense and challenging, emotionally and gameplay wise. Idris Elba's performance is fully committed and unbecoming of something you'd expect from a video game. Undoubtedly it's one of the best I've seen from him, and I could only compare how nuanced it is to something akin in Red Dead Redemption. Phantom Liberty really keeps you wondering about its characters true motives, and that psychologically lifting experience is something I won't forget.

If this is what's in store for the future, I hope the Cyberpunk sequel will be worth looking forward to. Overall, this was one of the best expansions/DLC I have ever played. Well done!
