(Image credit: CD Projekt Red) InCyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, I feel like I’m in a scene plucked from Casino Royale. I descend down the swanky, gilded stairs that lead down to a glitzy party at the top of the Black Sapphire, a towering skyscraper open only to the social elite of Dogtown. Serving as a fortress for Barghest leader and big shot Kurt Hansen, I didn’t exactly get invited to this soiree, but since I’m dressed to the nines in a fancy suit, I fit right in with the glamorous crowd. Glittering lights frame a golden stage that sits at the center of an open nightclub of sorts, with bars dotted around, and roulette tables nestled in the back of the complex. I walk up to a server and pluck a flute of champagne from their tray, knocking back the fizzy nectar before I start to walk around and eavesdrop on some of the partygoers.

In the lead up to release last year, I had hoped Phantom Liberty’s billing as a spy-thrillerwould scratch this particular gumshoe itch of mine. Heck, I even tried toreplay the base game as a hardboiled detective. While the DLC overall throws you into more action and asks you to decide if you can really trust anyone in the seedy underbelly of Dogtown, the You Know My Name mission has really satisfied my hunger for spy-shaped experiences. From the minute Alex – an FIA agent with ties to Reed – pointed me to a briefcase with a silencer pistol and asked how I felt about getting all dressed up, I knew I was about to sink my teeth into just the kind of experience I’d been looking for. I’ve already played through the mission twice, and I absolutely know I’ll find myself descending down those glitzy stairs in the Black Sapphire whenever I want to relive my spy RPG fantasy all over again. The making of Cyberpunk 2077’s metro system: “From day one, we considered the NCART to be a roleplaying feature first and foremost”.
