Reviewers only got the game on Friday and it was a bank holiday in the UK, so the reviews are very early ones and have not had a lot of time with the game.

Tbh as far as game journalists are concerned they probably don’t need a lot of time. Most linear campaign games can be done in a day for a quick write up about how they felt like James Bond. It’s only the fans that will take their time to dive into the extra modes and mechanics.

“007 First Light is the new gold standard for James Bond games, as well as AAA games as a whole. This is not only the game of the year, but could also end up being the game of the decade.”

funny how reviewers say this when quite possibly the biggest release we will ever experience within our life time is happening in November.

Didn’t know a remake of «Tetris» is happening. Exciting!

GTA? Not liked any of them after GTA: London tbh, so won’t be playing 6. Also if Bond has some good support like WOA had then I could see it becoming my game of the decade for sure. It’s not at the moment, but there’s a good possibility.

Well, they just dropped V-Tetris on Virtual Boy NSO very recently!

Honestly whether you like GTA or not it’s hard to deny that it’s going to be massive.

I agree with his points. And I also liked the game :person_shrugging:

I’m not really sure where this guy’s expectations were coming from.
-“I understand this is not hitman”
-“I don’t like these kinds of games”
-“I know shit about james bond”
this is stuff in like the first 2 minutes of the video. everyone can have their opinion and should be able to state it, but I’m not sure what anyone is supposed to do with this kind of feedback.
Make a completely different game I guess. thanks for the feedback.

I thought the game turned out much better than I thought, but that’s because I set my expectations based on what IO showed us when they reveled the game.

Kotti isnt a grifter thankfully and i agree with a lot of his perspective but i notice this attitude with grifters like mauler and his mates regarding this game. They dont like Bond, never watched it and dont like these kinds of games yet complain that theyre exactly what youd expect from this kind of game

Unexpected seal of approval from Yahtzee, who’s generally not a fan of Uncharted-style games:

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m going to drink every time he says “ghost train ride”.

Edit: Lame! I didn’t drink once. Well, I did, but not because of the game I came up with.
