Starring Idris Elba, the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC isn't perfect—but it's the best version we're probably ever going to get
better in the small term than the large. That applies to its gameplay, which can be moment-to-moment thrilling even as the process of actually moving around Night City quickly becomes a tedious bore, and its storytelling, which thrills in tiny, somber moments despite its big-picture stuff constantly threatening to devolve into a slurry of knee-
jerk cynicism and asinine future slang. The DLC does itself little favor by front-loading the latter material—and sidelining the game’s best character, Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand, at least for its first few quests. But it finds plenty of moments to celebrate the flawed humanity of this spectacularly shitty future as its 15-or-so hours of content present themselves.
The thing is, almost all of the stuff in the patch is really, genuinely good—including a brand new set of skill trees that allow for far more interesting abilities and character builds, and automotive combat that is fun, if also pretty slight. Wrapping your brain around all the new systems is no small feat, especially if it’s been literally years since you last loaded up a save.
