Oh my fucking god. This DLC gave me literal chills. This was honestly so good and definitely bumped Cyberpunk 2077 as a whole up of my favourite games list.
The new characters are honestly all amazing and their relationship was so intricate and interesting. To be honest I wasn't so much for Songbird at first but once I chose her path and walked it, when you get in the car and she tells you she doesn't want to die, that really hit me so much and from that point on it's just so insane at the end, I didn't want to save myself anymore, I just wanted to see her safe on the moon and didn't want the NUSA to have her. Honestly was suprised by my own choice, considering I've always wanted V to have a chance at living and considering she had lied to us, but I really couldn't bring myself to abandon her right at the end, even if it meant ending Reed's life. And then watching her send off was so emotional. And then the credits song playing too. God dammit it fucking hit me so bad. Also I've always been a Johnny is such a narcissist asshole person but doing that ending kind of changed my perspective for some reason. And now I feel bad for him and I feel like I misjudged him so bad.
I did the deal ending too and god it was so bittersweet. I always wanted V to have a chance at life but having it felt somewhat so wrong, like throwing Songbird under a bus and V just having to give up the life he had, it felt so sad. He felt so hopeless in a way and man did it make me feel sad too because I love V so much and I could feel the pain of his life being completely turned upside down.
I have tried to do the betray Songbird route and let me tell you how much of a disappointment it was. I couldn't finish it because the game somehow turned into a horror game and I really can't handle that. Call it a skill issue whatever, the devs should've been careful about people who don't like horror. If I want to play horror I will buy a game advertised as horror. Now, I'm leaving my review of it to 5 stars because it wasn't the route I chose and might still be good, just the fact that I personally can't do it. Plus it does block me for 2 trophies but they are just trophies and those aren't blocking me to get the platinum since it's just dlc so I don't really care.
Nonetheless, this was peak storytelling. And obviously the gameplay was good, love the 2.0 update, the new skills rework refreshed the game so well.
The music was so amazing, special mentions to Phantom Liberty, Choke Hold by the man Idris Elba himself and Force Projection. And loved the song playing in the car with Songbird or the one playing when confronting Reed at the end.
Anyway. Man. I need some time to recover from that. I cried. I'm still in shock honestly.
ps: when I got back on the game for the DLC and just drove around again with my music playing on spotify just gave me such happy feels. i love this game. so much. i've always considered myself more of a countryside quiet type person but this game makes me crave the city, night life and such. i love being a gamer cause I get to experience things I wouldn't be able to or wouldn't bring myself to enjoy normally.
