Spoilers for Phantom Liberty ahead.

Once a planned, private resort getaway for Night City's well-to-do luminaries, Dogtown soon fell under the control of Kurt Hansen and his iron-fisted Barghest paramilitary gang. By the time V arrives, high rises and luxury shops are in total disarray, and anyone who isn't part of Barghest's rank and file is forced to live in fear. Their hidden stashes and abandoned apartments make up some of the DLC's most fascinating areas.

Like many of CD Projekt RED's games, 's DLC contains a great number of excellently concealed Easter eggs, hidden details, and subtle pop-culture references. Although some of 's secrets are easily discovered, others are incredibly hard to uncover — this, however, is part of the fun.

While many can be found by simply playing through the DLC's story missions, the locations of others can be especially hard to pinpoint. Some weapons, for example, may only be made available through certain quests or decisions, while others might be hidden in subtle ways or placed in obscure locations.

Horror isn't for everyone, and gamers that would rather sit back and get engrossed in a story rather than scare the living daylights out of themselves usually spring for an RPG like Skyrim or Cyberpunk 2077. However, game developers like to mix things up every now and then, bringing certain elements of the horror genre into their RPGs for a one-off spooky mission that has everyone just wanting to chill out with an RPG cowering behind their cushions.

Driving around the streets of Night City or gunning it across the Badlands is one of the great pleasures of the game, and having more options than ever before is a welcome change. Not all cars and bikes are created equal, however, and certain additions in stand out as the best options to spend hard-earned eddies on.

When it comes to cyberpunk, I'm a simpleton: I'm always chasing the initial radioactive wave of cool that emanated from the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer and its prequel short story Johnny Mnemonic. When I saw the monowire cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077, I knew it was the weapon for me, and I was even more excited when Cyberpunk director Gabe Amatangelo recommended a particular monowire build to me, capitalizing on all the changes to Cyberpunk's skill system in 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, in an interview this week.
