We haven’t had a good spy game in ages. I really wanted to play something like Metal Gear Solid combined with Splinter Cell. There are too many girl bosses in the game, which is kinda ehhh, but at least they look good. The gameplay is solid and fun, and like I said before, I was craving a spy game. I’m pretty sure we won’t get anything better in this genre for a while.

I’ve been waiting for a game like this for so long, and it absolutely delivered. The introduction alone is a 10/10 and instantly tells you that this is the Bond game we needed. Honestly, this feels like the only studio that could make something like this work so perfectly. You’ll remember Uncharted, Hitman, and even Sony’s Spider-Man games while playing, but it still has its own identity and style. Everything about this game feels breathtaking. I literally played for 12 hours straight and couldn’t stop. The character development, the mission design, the shooting, the hand to hand combat, the stealth approaches, the music choices even the Lana Del Rey moments everything feels cinematic and polished. And I’m only halfway through the story. At this point, the game feels nearly flawless. I haven’t encountered any bugs so far. The only thing I didn’t really like was the car crash sequences, which feel a bit weak compared to the rest of the gameplay. But honestly, the story, gameplay variety, style, and presentation completely amazed me. This is a masterpiece and an absolute must-play for any Bond fan.

I'm so torn here, but it IS a great game. I really do like this game and I recommend it for any fans of James Bond. The game looks great, runs great, sounds amazing at times. The action is well done, the controls feel responsive and the story itself is interesting enough so far. I think my expectations were too high for the gameplay though: I'm a huge fan of IOI's most recent hitman trilogy, with the insane openness to levels and sheer amount of player agency. That is heavily stripped down here at times; this game is very linear because they are trying to tell a story. I completely understand that, but it's not always for the best. In general the game alternates between espionage and action. The first part of a mission will be exploring, looking for evidence or a specific person, etc. The second part is when 007 action moments need to occur. Example; Now it's time to walk around and gather enough intel. No guns permitted, keep a low profile. At one point you have to walk through a room where several guards are watching a TV. Your handler told you to avoid drawing attention to yourself. Before you approach you see another npc cross in front of the TV and the guards get mad and almost fight him. Now it's your turn: your gadgets that mess with electronics can't be used, and despite the amount of space around the TV and sofa, you cannot walk around. You MUST walk between them and the TV to trigger a fight. It reminds me a LOT of RDR2 at times like these where the Devs have to railroad you to tell the story they want to tell you; and I get that. But man do I wish the game was more open, or that hitman could have the combat controls of this. It's such a weird feeling to have. I suppose it's because you're still a trainee, and that a future entry as a proper 00 agent you may be able to use your own discretion for lethal violence. At the end of the day, this is a great game and it's a blast to play outside of silly railroad moments. P.S please let me bring a suppressor, it's so iconic.

Tested on Steam Deck OLED. The short version: lock it to 30fps, drop settings to low/medium, and this thing runs great. Stable frame times, no crashes, no weird Proton issues. Just works. Battery came in at 2h45m in my testing which honestly surprised me - for a day-one AAA this size I was expecting worse. And it runs fully offline, which matters a lot for a handheld. The game itself is really impressive. As a Bond fan I wasn't sure what to expect from a new studio taking on the license, but First Light delivers. The writing, the setting, the feel of it, I think it all comes together rather nicely. Playing it on Deck in handheld mode actually feels like a good way to experience it and I don't think its a compromise. If you're a Steam Deck owner sitting on the fence, don't wait. This is one of the better AAA releases we've had on this hardware in a while and this game proves the Steam Deck can still punch hard! Full performance breakdown video: https://youtu.be/bDgnjE0nncg

First non-mobile Bond game in 14 years and IOI delivered. We went from "Well done 47" to "Well done 007". James Bond is back in the gaming world, shaken, not stirred.
