Critic Reviews

ACG - Jeremy Penter - Buy

Video Review - Quote not available


AltChar - Semir Omerovic - 97 / 100

If CD Projekt Red had to make amends for the disappointing launch of Cyberpunk 2077, they certainly have done that with Phantom Liberty. Simply preem.


Attack of the Fanboy - Diego Perez - 3.5 / 5

Phantom Liberty has some great moments, but it's ultimately a by-the-numbers spy thriller with an uninteresting cast that can't be saved by celebrity star power.


But Why Tho? - Jason Payne - 9 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a captivating spy story that deftly grapples with the tension between loyalty and betrayal that will please fans of spy films and the world that CD Projekt Red has already built in the base game.


ComicBook.com - Cade Onder - 4 / 5

While some of Cyberpunk 2077's issues still linger, and the new content isn't without its own flaws, CD Projekt Red has done a commendable job at making me like a game I previously had disdain for. Phantom Liberty continues to prove CD Projekt Red has a deft hand for high-quality storytelling and has now shown it can provide strong RPG gameplay to match.


Destructoid - Eric Van Allen - 8.5 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is a great expansion, with a conclusion that easily secures it a spot on CD Projekt Red’s track record for great expansions.


Game Informer - Wesley LeBlanc - 8.5 / 10

While Phantom Liberty doesn't stand head and shoulders above the rest of the Cyberpunk package, it slots in nicely, like a preem piece of cyberware you’ve been waiting to be in stock.


GameSpot - Michael Higham - 10 / 10

Phantom Liberty embodies the best of Cyberpunk 2077 for a thrilling RPG-shooter with an evocative story, compelling side content, and unforgettable conclusions.


IGN - Matthew Kim - 9 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty completes an immense turnaround for CD Projekt Red's future RPG kickstarted with the anime spinoff, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its latest 2.0 Update.


IGN Italy - Stefano Castagnola - Italian - 8.2 / 10

Phantom Liberty is a good expansion that adds an intriguing storyline filled with memorable characters and that, together with the 2.0 version, manages to also improve the gameplay, adding new features and changing existing ones that help Cyberpunk come closer to what we were promised years ago.


Kotaku - Unscored

Phantom Liberty is a succinct summation of the best parts of Cyberpunk 2077 and all the strife it took to reach this point.


PC Gamer - Ted Litchfield - 87 / 100

Phantom Liberty doesn't reinvent Cyberpunk 2077, but it is CD Projekt firing on all cylinders to tell a great RPG story.


PCGamesN - Will Nelson - 9 / 10

Phantom Liberty is a fitting send-off for V, Night City, and Cyberpunk 2077 as a whole. CD Projekt Red has delivered a dense and impactful expansion to one of the medium's best cityscapes, even if its branching narrative structure stumbles.


PSX Brasil - Paulo Roberto Montanaro - Portuguese - 90 / 100

Some of its worst problems are solved by adding new narrative layers, improving problematic systems, and ultimately taking the game to the level we expected at launch.


Polygon - Toussaint Egan - Unscored

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty almost corrects the past


Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Graham Smith - Unscored

A brilliantly written and performed spy-thriller set in the middle of Night City and of Cyberpunk 2077's overarching story.


SECTOR.sk - Peter Dragula - Slovak - 9 / 10

The Phantom Liberty expansion is perfect final piece to the Cyberpunk 2077 game. Brings a new city district, a dark spy story with interesting choices and varied missions. Adds Irdis Elba, Keanu Reeves and stunning visuals.


Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 9 / 10

A fitting end for a saga that is reaching 3 years. This expansion builds on the strength of the base game and provides thrilling twists and turns, accompanied by the biggest changes to the base game yet.


Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 10 / 10

Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 Update feel like a totally new launch for Cyberpunk 2077. With a new, hostile, and alien district and story for V to explore, along with huge overhauls to the base game, you’d struggle not to find something new and exciting to do in Night City, no matter how many playthroughs you’ve done so far. Phantom Liberty sets an amazing precedent for what an RPG game expansion could be and gives me hope that CD Projekt red will continue pumping time and love into this fantastic game.


Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 9 / 10

At the end of the day, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC probably won't change your mind if you just disliked the base game. If you even remotely enjoyed the original, then Phantom Liberty is an excellent DLC. It contains some of the best story missions, a host of cool new weapons, and a lot of time with Elba. The fact it carries over into the main story and offers a completely different endgame path is also very cool and means that it's a worthwhile experience - even for those who have seen everything the original has to offer.

Dare I say it… did they really turned around the ship? I waited since the launch to finally finish playing it (or in this case, start a new game).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I read all about the bugs and problems upon release, but waited to play on the Ps5 and I had a blast. Thought it was a great game!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve also heard good things about the performance and bugs!

Did you play the new DLC?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not yet. I finished the game about 6 months ago and I'm in the middle of another game. I'll probably give it a go though sometime in the near future
