007 First Light Is Like a Great James Bond TV Series
from The Besties · host Griffin McElroy, Russ Frushtick, Chris Plante
007 First Light is the new game from IO Interactive, the developers of the beloved stealth series Hitman. So you’d be forgiven for assuming this entry in the Bond canon would emphasize sleuthy spycraft. Instead, IOI created something akin to a season of James Bond television, spotlighting its strong story above everything else. Was that the right choice? It depends on which Besty you ask!
