I got to play 007 First Light for over three hours… and honestly, this game has no right being this good. This is James Bond at his best. Confident, flirtatious, and always one step ahead. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Hitman and Uncharted had a baby, this is it.By the way, my full interview with Martin Emborg is available exclusively to Patrons and can be seen here. https://www.patreon.com/posts/156948967In this preview, I break down:The Iceland opening mission and cinematic introStealth vs action gameplay and “license to kill” choicesQ’s gadget system including the watch (detect, hack, distract)Social stealth and bluffing your way through encountersStory setup and why this Bond feels classic, not “modernized”My hands-on impressions after playing multiple missionsFrom explosive set pieces to clever stealth options, 007 First Light feels like a true Bond fantasy. There are even moments where talking your way out is better than pulling the trigger. Overall? I’m way more excited than I expected to be.Release date: May 27Let me know what you think. Did they finally nail James Bond?
