James Bond is back in 007 First Light from IO Interactive — but is this the classic 007 we know and love, or has the franchise gone full woke?
In this no-holds-barred review, I dive deep into the gameplay, story, stealth mechanics, gadgets, and action as a young, cocky Bond earns his double-O status.
Hitman-style infiltration meets cinematic set pieces with Uncharted vibes, stunning visuals, and a killer soundtrack. But does the new female M, diverse casting, and modern twists ruin the Bond fantasy or refresh it?
I break down the highs (insane levels, creative takedowns, gadgets galore), the lows, and whether this is truly the best Bond game since GoldenEye — or just another Hollywood-adjacent cash grab pushing an agenda.
Spoiler-free!
If you're a longtime 007 fan tired of the same old formula, or skeptical of big-budget games in 2026, this review is for you.
