James Bond First Light plays it very safe gameplay wise. It feels like a hybrid between Uncharted and the Hitman series. The stealth and parkor mechanics lack depth. The story is very Bond, leaning heavily on stereotypical plot devices from the films. The gadgets and guns lack variety. That said the way the environment reacts to your character during fighting sequences allowing you to improvise multiple ways to kill bad guys is a real step forward, I hope this is used in future story games. I like the spying, hacking, eves dropping to get the necessary intel to progress the game. But beyond that the puzzle solving is pretty simple. It would be cool if future titles like this were more open allowing Bond to infiltrate places with different methods either by stealth, spy craft or more varied parkor elements such as grappling hooks and zip lines etc. It was quite difficult to feel much sympathy for any of the characters unlike titles like The Last Of Us. A bit more human emotion rather than detached soundbites would make the game feel more grounded. They did it with the Daniel Craig films but missed the mark slightly here. The vehicle elements were really enjoyable although more car chases with higher stakes would have been good. In conclusion, the game has some good elements that I enjoyed but there was just a little bit missing to me it a true classic that I would like to come back to once I finished the story. But this is has great potential for future sequels.
