Not the Bond Game I Dreamed Of I still remember the first time seeing the teaser for Project 007 back in 2020, just as if it was yesterday. Oh how excited and happy I was to finally see a new Bond game getting developed. Now, we have the game and I had a good time with it, even though it's not my dream Bond game. It's also not without its flaws when looking at it from the developers' perspective. Gameplay and Level Design Bond's training parts in Malta are very well designed. Right from the beginning, the game does a great job teaching its mechanics without feeling like a cliche hollywood cutscene. Designing these parts as playable cutscenes is brilliant. Bond's game feel and controls are top notch. The light platforming sections and the melee combat are all very satisfying. The controls are responsive and everything feels polished. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736753413 The stealth sections are very reminiscent of the new Hitman formula. They are fun, but IO should have improved and evolved the formula more. It plays and feels a lot like Hitman. The problem is that the AI is horrible. Guards don't patrol at all, they barely even turn around and look at their surroundings. They are always static looking at one angle waiting for you to get them. The level and game design is built around them being braindead. The action combat AI is quite the contrary though. They try flanking you, destroy your covers, throw explosives and put pressure on the player. The epic set-piece moments, like the airplane sequence, should have been there more. Some of the best moments in the movies are when it fully embraces the Bond fantasy. The Slovakia and Aleph levels were easily the most enjoyable parts of the game. One issue is that the first half of the game is clearly better thought out and designed than the second half. The later chapters become more repetitive and less interesting. Story and Characters - Major Spoilers! I like the cinematics, not the scenario. The production value is very high. The cutscenes are cinematic, the acting is excellent and the characters are performed very well. But when it comes to the writing, I am not so sure. The acting throughout the game is excellent. Characters speak with different volumes and tones depending on the situation, which is something you surprisingly don't see often in games. It's a small detail, but it adds a lot to the narrative. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736753539 There are many problems with the scenario, but the Vietnam section is the worst. Bond causes Greenway's death purely because of his desire for revenge, even though they already had enough evidence to bring the villains down. I know this is Bond's first game in the trilogy and he is supposed to be younger, more reckless and inexperienced. But Bond can never be this stupid, especially after everything that happened in Slovakia to his friends and colleagues. I wasn't particularly invested in most of the characters either. Bond and Greenway carry the story as I enjoyed seeing his dynamic with Bond. M feels largely irrelevant to the story, both in appereance and narratively, and doesn't get much screen time. Some characters, especially Cressida, feel undercooked. She is absolutely gorgeous and could have been the perfect Bond girl, but she is horribly wasted at the very beginning after the game strangely makes you spend some substantial time with Monroe and Cressida. The villain is also horrible, which is unusual for the Bond franchise. Bond stories usually live or die by their villains, and this one simply doesn't leave any impression and feels very cringe. Audio, Presentation and Visuals Great intro music, just as the classic Bond style. The instrumental Bond themes also do their job well. The graphics and art direction are cool. Nothing extraordinary, but the game looks good most of the time. The game also runs well. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3736753887 Final Thoughts The game is about 2-3 hours longer than it should be, clearly to justify the 70 USD price tag. But it harms the overall experience because the last few chapters become repetitive and start dragging. 007 First Light is a good game. I am a little disappointed because I had very high hopes for it, and I think IO could have done more to improve and evolve the formula. Still, I enjoyed my time with it. It's not the Bond game I dreamed of, but it's a solid first entry and definitely worth picking up on a sale. Looking forward to the continuation of this series with a much better experience, I hope.

A very solid James Bond game, something we haven’t really had in a long time. The gameplay doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it is smooth, reliable, and enjoyable to play. Stealth and action sequences are well balanced, making missions fun to go through without feeling repetitive or forced. The story is genuinely engaging, with a good pace and well-directed moments that keep you wanting to see what happens next. It captures the spy atmosphere of the 007 universe quite well, supported by a strong and immersive art direction. The soundtrack is also really well done and adds a lot to the overall mood, especially during key moments. Environments are varied and detailed enough to make exploration enjoyable without being overwhelming. Animations and cutscenes also help enhance the immersion and give the game a more cinematic feel. Overall, a promising and enjoyable game, especially for James Bond fans. It doesn’t try to do too much, but what it does, it does well. 👍
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. EDIT: I'm not some paid shill, I spent $70 for this on a whim because I was off of work the day it became downloadable. I still like the game a lot, I don't regret buying it. It's different than what I expected, but I enjoy my time with it a lot. I wanted to make the review so that people on the fence had a better chance to make an informed decision. I'm typing this from my work PC, wishing I were playing.
I could not imagine any better studio to make a game about bond than IOI. You can see very clearly, how decades of creating Hitman were put to use in making First light, while making it a very diffrent game than Hitman. One of the fears before the release online was "hopefully its not just british hitman" and it really isn't. While having constant easter eggs and nods to hitman franschise (which were amazing). It never made me feel like im playing some htiman clone which is a huge plus. And im saying that having 1000+ h in WOA trilogy. It looks like bond game, it feels like bond game and it plays like bond game. Characters are great, story is very good, shooting system is IOI's best one yet and feels amazing. Bonus note - Game has many moments when i was thinking: "Am i playing uncharted 5 - among spies?" which as a fan of te series made me just smile from ear to ear. I can't remember the last time i had this much fun and joy in a single player linear game.
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
