Close to three years of patches, updates, and soul-searching led the company to this point the release of Update 2.0 alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion for their much-maligned game, Cyberpunk 2077 (read our review here). A fractured launch tarnished its reputation, but this new update aims not just to repair the game but to redefine it. Based on approximately 50 hours of gameplay, here's why I think Phantom Liberty isn't just a saving grace but a masterstroke in game design and narrative storytelling.
Update 2.0 can’t be discussed without talking about Phantom Liberty. The update serves as a backbone to the expansion, transforming the very essence of how the game feels. Imagine buying a car that gets retrofitted with a V12 engine and a luxurious interior – that’s Update 2.0. This isn’t merely about patches or fixes; it’s a complete overhaul that, when combined with Phantom Liberty, justifies my full rating for the expansion.
