MY REVIEW TO 007 FIRST LIGHT
I have no history with the James Bond franchise. I have never consumed any of the movies, nor have I played any of the games, even though it's obvious how much this brand is praised and how many classics it has created. So, this is my very first James Bond content. If you want to ask any questions about the game, please feel free to contact me.
To be honest, the main reason I bought the game wasn’t because of any sudden interest in James Bond. It was entirely because of my trust in the developer, IO Interactive. Everyone knows the Hitman series... In the end, I can safely say that this thought meant absolutely nothing. 007 FIRST LIGHT IS A MASTERPIECE.
I played the game on ultra settings with my RTX 4060 PC, and the performance generally stayed between 60-70 FPS. I never lost any smoothness; on the contrary, I was met with a visual feast in every single chapter. One of the strongest aspects of this game is definitely its visuals.
The gameplay is exceptionally strong and fun. To be honest, most of the stealth mechanics are quite basic and easy to understand, but that is exactly what makes them so appealing. Through Bond's Q Watch menu, you can shoot tranquilizer darts or motion-sensor mines at a target, hack almost anything electronic, or trigger a magnetic EMP blast.
Alongside impressive action sequences and a great variety of missions including driving sections, 007 First Light was an incredibly enjoyable experience for me. Does it have issues? Of course it does. For instance, the boss fights are definitely not satisfying, or at least two of them aren't... Other than these flaws, the game has no other issues in my book.
