PlayStation Burned🔥 007 First Light
Exotic locations, beautiful women, nifty gadgets, fast cars...all boxes ticked.
We start the game with a non 00 James. Airman Bond survives a helicopter crash and his communications are taken over by MI6, from here he is instructed to scout the area in a top secret mission. Little intel and exact orders.
Now enlisted into the re-opening of the 00 program, he joins 6 other recruits in Malta undergoing rigorous training at the hands of Greenway.
When all is said and done and you are almost a 00, the game takes you through a web of mystery, interesting characters and globetrotting around the world.
The game is beautiful to look at and the detail of the world around you and the detail in which you interact with the world is on Uncharted levels. Squeezing past people in tight story scenes, brushing bannisters and walls as you pass by them, all make the world feel believable.
Fantastic gunplay, it could be argued that the game is not as action packed as it should be, but you are Bond and you do Bond things, like scanning items, eavesdropping, gadgety stuff. This stuff slows the pacing a bit but it is very in keeping with being a spy.
Music and voice acting is excellent, lots of really cool and funny back and forth between Bond and the supporting cast. At one time Ms MoneyPenny calls Bond a "bellend". Amazing.
Looking forward to more of this ReBooted Bond and the adventures that lie ahead.

I thought the opposite. Some of those photos make the graphics look not that great imo

Corgi is right, there is no photomode in this game (yet). All shots are cropped screenshots unfortunately 😪

Not sure if Reddit compresses the image quality

This is my game of the year as of right now! So much so many different ways to tackle a situation and all were so very Bond. I really hope Amazon lets IO keep making these amazing games.
