This is no simple DLC. This is a full on expansion. It serves as a great continuation of CDPR's long standing reputation for S-tier quality post-release content (Hearts of Stone, Blood and Wine).

It capitalises, and builds on the foundations of Cyberpunks' biggest strength: its story, characters and world building. While, yes, there are added gigs, side missions, weapons, vehicles and a new locale, the meat of this DLC is within the new characters introduced and the spy-thriller adventure that ensues.
The first 2-hours feature one of the best action set-pieces in the entire game, and culminates in an incredibly personal, emotional and cinematic conclusion that absolutely tugged at my heartstrings. In my opinion, this story rivals the base game story, and I'm torn between which one I like better.
Phantom Liberty builds upon already established material from the base game's lore, so nothing is really plucked from thin air to supplement the story it wants to tell.

All-in-all, I had a blast. The amount of content is akin to a full game; some 25-30 hours, and its new ending for the base game left me with a very bittersweet aftertaste. All for £24.99. Well done to all the folks that poured their soul into this from CDPR
