007 First Light

[h1]The Perfect James Bonds game[/h1] [hr][/hr][i]You get no cheap substitute here. You are playing as James Bond and not some third rate aspiring agent here. You drive fast cars, flirt with beautiful women. Stop world threatening villains. There are plenty of explosions and cool phrases along the way. Together with fanservice to the entire franchise. This game is the best thing which had happened to struggling James Bonds IP in a long time.[/i][hr][/hr] [h1]As average AAA games should be![/h1] This is extremely well polished, high budget experience. It pays homage to its IP perfectly. Gameplay doesn't have any unecessary bloat. Game is what it needs to be. Though, at the same time it makes it hard to talk about it. It's so safe, puddle deep and unoffensive that everyone is going to like playing it. That is evident by extremely good completion rate and drop off statistics of this game. Yet, it's also the game which you kinda forget once you played and don't want to replay it. One time snack which is nice while you are eating, but you jump to newest thing when it comes out and forget all about this game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3763533048 The concerning part about this is that 007 First Light spent massive amount of money to make this game. It rivals titans like Red Dead Redemption 2 in costs, but it isn't game industy defining game in any way. The most remarkable thing is how unremarkable everything about this game is. It's underwhelming game mechanics at every level somehow adding up to be more than sum of its parts. I guess, this is what proper AAA polish does to a game. You can polish a turd to a mirror shine and starts looking good. Game feels like a Hitman game. However, it doesn't play like one. Stealth, traps and assassinations are very shallow. Game is just as much of an action game as it's a stealth game. It merely provides you an option on how to approach a situation and sometimes, it allows you to stealth through where most players would brute force their way through. Or stay in stealth where you are not intended to sneak past. This creates an unique DNR for a game which makes it more akin to Uncharted games than Hitman. Though, that might be unfair. As for little gameplay there is, it plays uniquely as its own game. A mix of different game elements which never make it completely like one or the other video game. [h1]Politics[/h1] Surprisingly, there is very little of wokeness in this game. It's all confined to HQ. Agency head is an indian. Your assistant is a negro. Your mentor too. He becomes your partner later on. Outside of that, there are no wokeness infesting and destroying game from within. Just stains in one place. It's almost like developers wanted to succeed and get paid. It's crazy that people still have life in them left to wish for such things. These days they just do nonsense, burn money and try to speedrun to self destruction as fast as possible. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3763505338 The fact that everyone around you is a minority speaks more about just how deep UK has fallen. It's infested by those immigrants. Institutions are hollowed out. Public contract was breached. Nation is in a toilet during our generation. You have to take it as an echo of local period culture in which this game is set up. [h1]Story[/h1] What I love about this game it's that it's THE definitive James Bonds experience. It has THE James Bond. Too many games awkwardly plays with no name or third rate characters when acquiring rights to the IP. Getting the real deal here feels so refreshing. Story also is full of fan service. You are constantly getting memorable quotes, high tech gadgets, rubbing shoulders with the elite. Game doesn't hold even a little and gives you exactly what you want. There is no underground larping as John Bold, defeating a third rate villians. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3763518815 The story itself is surprisingly modern. It reflects tech optimism in Tesla, AI, humanoid robots. Story is cutting edge and relevant. Our James Bond is an amazing reintrepetation of an agent for modern times. This game has done more for James Bond franchise than its IP holders in a decade! Writing in this game is good from situation to situation. James always manages to remain charmful devil with witty remarks. Every set piece is well polished and feels like eating caviar. There is very little downtime and 'sewer levels' or in other words, filler content. Where this game struggles a bit is in its overall writing. So, if you don't want spoilers, don't read it. The issue with overall story is that motivations of villians and entire plot is incredibly stupid. MI6 essentially was using chatGPT to work as intelligence gathering agency. It asked its chatGPT to predict what would happen. Then that model would inevitably start hallucinating, our villian would go in and do exactly like that model said it would happen. All because for some reason MI6 couldn't accept super computer who wasn't perfect in any way. And villian being a patriot that he is, had to push that THEIA supercomputer, large language model unto MI6. Entire plot doesn't make sense. Villian doesn't have any real motivation. It doesn't even want to take over the world. Entire plot is very stupid with them. It starts by their chief security officer accidentally knocking out MI6 agent with spiked coctail. Instead of releasing him and apologizing for mix up, they decide to escalate that to 11 for no reason and murder him. Like for no reason at all. Then James Bond inevitably escapes. Villian decides to escalate for no reason again by starting to leak MI6 secrets and demanding immunity. Then it escalates again with his secret antarctic base getting attention of Royal Navy aircraft carrier and 2 destroyers. At that point he is plotting to topple the government all together. He does all of this for personal safety and not wanting to mess with MI6. Who has no beef with him... So plot makes absolutely no sense with villian just escalating conflict for no reason all the time. [h1]An Interactive Movie[/h1] [hr][/hr][i]This is as linear game as it can be, full of cinematics and dialogue. However, that is not a bad thing. It's a type of experience which can be enjoyed with proper state of mind. I did liked this interactive movie medium. Expect little from gameplay and you won't be disappointed. It's not a game to play, but rather to enjoy as you go along with it. A small sweet to be quickly consumed and forgotten about. In this, game was a perfect candy for me and I do not regret one bit playing it.[/i][hr][/hr] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Calicifer/discussions/0/570417408021601571/][i]Calicifer's Reviews[/i][/url] [quote]If you are interested reading full review or want to discuss something with me, please follow the provided link.

Jogo bom da porra Até agora facilmente a surpresa do ano, destaque máximo para o combate corpo a corpo que é bom num nível que eu não lembrava de ver outro igual recentemente, inclusive teve jogo que saiu e falou que focava em brawler gameplay, mas da nem pro cheiro quando comparado com 007... gunplay também é excelente, às vezes bem difícil também, quantas vezes morri oprimido de levar tiro, o lance de não ter munição "infinita" é bom demais, se pega o que tem meu kkkk acabo a bala na pior hora possível? joga a arma na cara dos caras e pega a que tiver mais perto. lança missel do reloginho = melhor gadget, change my mind vou agora dar um tempo ele para jogar outro jogos, mas vou querer voltar quando sair o path tracing e novas missões/dlc to contando também com uma continuação.

近几年最有代入感的3A线性剧情游戏，射击手感和战斗手感相当舒服，里面一大堆致敬台词和设计，007电影的忠实粉丝听到某些台词应该真的能笑出声，满满的致敬；帧数方面，有老黄的黑科技加持，6倍帧生成真就没有延迟感，dlss 质量档 能高画质稳定200+帧，爽翻，等dlc和战术模拟更新了

Ультра пиздатая игра, всем советую поиграть кто ловит жесткий вайб от фильмов про Бонда начиная с Казино Рояль, да и в целом сама по себе четкая игруля. Графон не уровня условной колды мв 2019, в которой идет упор на фотореализм, но местами картина сочная и киношная. Советую запускать сразу на харде, так как на средней сложности как-то слабовато ощущается геймплей, нет наказания за то что игрок может устроить тир в ту же милисекунду, как мы получаем лицензию на убийство Хотя сам пока хард не проходил, чисто мое предположение В общем, жду 2 часть, игра достойная

Fun game but the entire time I was wondering when it might open up, and then it ended. I was done after probably 14hrs of playtime, which personally doesn't feel worth £60 especially with limited replayability. Still would recommend, but maybe when its discounted.

Look, I went in expecting a Bond skin over a stealth game. What I got was the closest thing to actually being Bond I've played since Blood Stone, and honestly it's not close. The early stuff sells you on a young Bond who hasn't earned the swagger yet. He fumbles. He improvises. He gets caught doing things a proper 00 wouldn't get caught doing. IO didn't hand you a finished spy, they made you become one, and that's the whole trick. By the back half of the game I noticed I was playing differently, not because the game unlocked anything, but because I'd learned how to think like him. Combat is scrappy in the best way. It's not a shooter with a gun budget, it's a guy who'd rather talk his way out, and when he can't, he grabs whatever's nearby. The improvisation system genuinely rewards you for looking around instead of memorizing a route. I replayed one mission four times just because I found three different ways through and wanted to see the fourth. The driving surprised me. I expected filler. It's not filler. Presentation is stupidly good. The score does the heavy lifting without ever going full parody, the voice work holds up (Bond sounds like a person, not an impression), and there are two or three set pieces I'm not going to spoil that made me put the controller down for a second. Complaints? Some stealth detection is finicky. A couple of the mid-game missions repeat their own ideas. That's it. That's the list. 48 hours. I've done the story, the challenges, and I'm going back for the harder difficulty because the systems are deep enough to reward it. If you've been waiting for a Bond game that isn't a licensed cash-in, this is the one. Buy it. 9.5/10

I was really looking forward to this but every level is pretty much rinse and repeat. No imagination as to what they could have done. I struggled to bother to finish it. Decent enough plot but come on, have some variety. Maybe some hacking, some stealth only missions, sniper shots, hell...maybe some seduction! Cannot recommend it at full price. £19.99 at best.

Solid game, will play again when the DLC drops. I'd give it a 6 out of 7.
