While the new story added in Phantom Liberty is well-written and intriguing, it also distinctly feels out of place when compared to the overall tone of the rest of the game. The abrupt shift from a regular person struggling for survival to a secret spy embroiled in international politics and espionage is an incredibly jarring change.

Despite being released shortly after the 2.0 update, vehicle combat is still not utilized meaningfully anywhere. The repeatable vehicle stealing missions offer little in terms of quality and excitement.

The new ending devalues all the other endings. It undermines the significance of all the choices made and the narrative arcs built throughout the game, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction and diminishing the overall narrative experience.

Despite assurances of improvements after the 2.0 update, Cyberpunk 2077 still remains plagued by persistent bugs and issues, some of which even break quests and disrupt the overall gaming experience. Even after the numerous patches aimed at polishing the overall experience, a noticeable degree of jank still persists throughout the game.

Night City, while visually striking, remains a somewhat lifeless environment where NPCs exhibit repetitive behavior, walking in circles and repeating the same lines. The introduction of vehicle combat and weaponized vehicles amount to little more than a gimmick, as these features are scarcely integrated into the gameplay.

Gigs and NCPD missions, which should have added depth and engagement to the experience, feel like an afterthought, often lacking meaningful content and serving primarily as a grind. Additionally, several advertised features are still absent from the game, leaving a sense of unfulfilled promises and missed opportunities.

While it is nice that the leader pass is free if you own all other DLCs, it is in no way justifiable for its current asking price of $20 for the few leaders it adds.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI is a decently entertaining game to play even after several years of its release. It has been continuously getting updates with new mechanics, civilizations, leaders, and game modes that has kept the gameplay fresh.

Although the game mechanics may seem overwhelming at first for new players, once you get used to them, it can be a ton of fun. The game is enjoyable to play both alone and with friends.

However, there are also some issues with the game, One of my complaints would be the AI only poses a challenge at Emperor or higher difficulty, and even at this difficulty it poses little challenge in the late game. Also, the late game turn times can sometimes be long and arduous, especially if you have a lot of cities.

Nonetheless, I recommend getting the anthology bundle, particularly during a sale when it is available at a very reasonable price.

There's a dad of Boy, a few midgets, and a head that never shuts up. The dad can smash mountains but can't jump up a 3 ft ledge. Boy has a quiver of never ending arrows. That's about it.
