What We Think

Phantom Liberty stays mostly true to Cyberpunk’s gritty, dystopian roots. While modern elements and diverse characters are clearly present, they rarely overshadow tough choices and world-building. It’s not the most non-woke game out there, but it steers clear of fully succumbing to ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Phantom Liberty integrates diversity, featuring characters of various backgrounds and identities, but generally prioritizes world-building and story depth. Most characters are fleshed out by personality and motivations rather than identity boxes. A few narrative choices seem timed for modern sensibilities, but it doesn’t fundamentally compromise the story’s integrity or immersive themes typical of the franchise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The expansion’s world is morally gray and often cynical about all institutions, including government and corporations. Traditional values aren’t a focus, but they aren’t especially targeted, either. Masculine characters retain competence and flaws; however, some modern tropes about authority and social order pop up, nudging the score up slightly.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a fair amount of cynicism directed at power structures, but the game does not caricature dissenting views outright. It leans toward a broadly modern, individualist outlook, with some ideological consistency; yet, the lived-in feel and moral ambiguity keep it from being an echo chamber.
