Where Cyberpunk 2077 stumbled, Phantom Liberty has the opportunity to run.
Taking a cue from police training videos, firefights are your primary way of interacting with Night City and its denizens. The most dangerous city in America is a fertile breeding ground for sin befitting punishment, but in retrospect it’s striking just how much emphasis is placed on Cyberpunk’s pretty okay shooting. Yeah, it’s great that they’re finally getting around to adding vehicle combat in Phantom Liberty but the prospect ofisn’t what I want out of Cyberpunk anymore.
2077’s dialogue-centric quests were the highlight of my experience, and some standout stories like the Ray Bradburry-esque Sinnerman quests are the kind of meaningful side content that Phantom Liberty can hopefully deliver, ideally with some more varied, branching dialogue trees. New music and radio stations are a desperately needed addition now that I'm three playthroughs deep, but the role of music in 2077 is a bit at odds with itself.
Samurai’s songs could be effortlessly covered by novice musicians today, making Johnny Silverhand and his music in turn resemble less of a rockerboy revolutionary and more of a dad rock reactionary. Phantom Liberty could really step up with a more experimental OST and curated selection of licensed music, exploring the sounds of the near future. Idris Elba joins Cyberpunk 2077’s cast as Solomon Reed, an agent for the New United States of America.
