Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update are the two things that I had been waiting for ever since it was teased last year. To lightly touch upon the 2.0 update, the game has been completely changed. The biggest change is how the skill trees work with the game, and it gives the game more varied play styles than the original skill trees gave. The game overall feels more premium than it did the year before I had played the game for a third playthrough, as the aiming on controller and the driving feels so much better. Moving on to the expansion, Phantom Liberty is what I had expected when the game originally released. Without giving spoilers, the story and characters of the expansion are fantastic. Once I got about an hour in, finishing the first big mission got me hooked on the DLC. I was very surprised to see how they had incorporated story changing choices into the main narrative. The new area, Dogtown, is a great new area of the map, and serves as a good contrast to its neighbor Pacfica. If you have played the game before this update and wanna try it again, or just hopping in for the first time. I would heavily consider getting the expansion.
