The team behind the \u201cHitman\u201d franchise was already familiar with the spy genre, with its Agent 47 protagonist, a master assassin who worked for the secretive International Contract Agency.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2351\">Food influencer Stacey Hatfield refused ambulance during fatal homebirth: report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the team has built a brilliant stealth system that incorporates an open map and disguises, giving players the freedom to take out their mark.

Sean Connery first portrayed the legendary spy as a confident and ruthless Cold War warrior, while Roger Moore added camp and a gentlemanly touch to the role. Pierce Brosnan brought a suave, debonair approach, while Daniel Craig introduced a gritty realism and vulnerability to Bond.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201c007 First Light,\u201d IO Interactive introduces players to a young James Bond, played by Patrick Gibson, who is an air crewman who ends up on MI6\u2019s radar after his plane crashes near Iceland. He survives, and, against all odds, single-handedly takes on enemy combatants while rescuing researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative updates Bond for the age of artificial intelligence. Billionaire inventor Sir Nicholas Webb has built a quantum computer called Theia, which helps MI6 foil dozens of threats. It has made the 00 agents a thing of the past, but M still believes in it and resurrects the spy program, adding Bond to the list of recruits trained by an old agent named John Greenway.\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"James Bond and Moneypenny visits Q's Lab\" class=\"wp-image-2353\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981-1024x576.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1316b4f92de45d3d54f8713226da2981.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<br\/>\n<strong>STEALTH AND ACTION<\/strong><br\/>\nThrough the 10-chapter campaign, players will follow Bond\u2019s journey as he attains 00 status and tackles his first major mission. The gameplay resembles \u201cHitman\u201d except that IO Interactive introduces car chases, foot pursuits and more action-oriented scenarios. The team mixes these elements with its trademark open-ended spy play.<\/p>\n<p>Before each mission, Bond visits Q\u2019s lab, and players choose the tools to bring into each level. The decision opens up pathways and new opportunities in each open map. Much like Agent 47, players explore the environment and spot infiltration opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>He can eavesdrop to find gaps in security or use his gadgets to unlock new areas. Players have to keep an eye on each tools\u2019 energy meter because when they run out, they\u2019re unavailable. Bond can reill them by finding chemicals or batteries in the field. No matter what happens, the game tracks the paths that players stumble onto.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2349\">What\u2019s closed Friday in the Bay Area for the Juneteenth holiday<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPROVING THROUGH IMPROVISATION<\/strong><br\/>\nWhat\u2019s different compared to \u201cHitman\u201d is that IO Interactive gives players more room to improvise. If Bond is caught in an area where he\u2019s not supposed to be, he can bluff his way out so that every confrontation doesn\u2019t devolve into a gunfight. It feels more polished and natural this way, instead of the rigid structure of \u201cHitman.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Bond does enter combat, the team gives him a bevy of tools and abilities. When he sneaks, he can lure foes toward him to knock them out around a corner. He can\u2019t hide his prey\u2019s bodies, but he can sabotage paths and set other traps. When players do enter gunfights, Bond has an instinct meter that slows time, so they can precisely aim at enemies\u2019 weak points.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s effective in places, but when faced with an army and a gun with limited bullets, which often happens, it\u2019s better to use the environment. Bond succeeds by fighting smarter, not harder. He can shoot explosive barrels or pipes that blast steam, creating an opening for a beatdown. His Q watch can hack fans so they blow enemies off a railing or during a plane ride he can control a craft\u2019s pitc.<\/p>\n<p>Even the fisticuffs are great. IO Interactive creates a system that lets players improvise like Jason Bourne so that Bond tosses mugs to create openings for punches. He can charge at enemies, and they\u2019ll see the environment react as shelves collapse or screens break. The melee fighting is just as good as the clever gunplay.<br\/>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"James Bond drives a yellow muscle car while chasing after a rogue agent\" class=\"wp-image-2354\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62-1024x576.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/36036b4ed2c6dbfd599c8c9c32416c62.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<br\/>\n<strong>SOME FLAWS<\/strong><br\/>\nBut as much as IO Interactive gets right, the team stumbles a bit when they wander outside its comfort zones. The developers\u2019 boss fights feel clumsy, and the team doesn\u2019t offer much guidance on how to defeat adversaries when they\u2019re seemingly invincible. In addition, the vehicle chases feel a little too much on rails and bland. They feel like missed opportunities for a different type of gameplay rather than just driving in a straight line as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the flaws, IO Interactive does so much right when crafting a refreshing Bond experience with \u201c007 First Light.\u201d The plot has unexpected twists and a compelling villain, with surprising depth. Meanwhile, the level designs are fantastic with nice movie-like foreshadowing and the franchise touchstones that fans come to expect, but it\u2019s Gibson and IO Interactive\u2019s take on the character that stands out. They create a video game Bond that stands apart from the ones on the silver screen. He\u2019s idealistic protective and a bit naive, all traits of a young spy with emotional room to grow.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>\u2018007 First Light\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Three and a half stars<br\/>\n<strong>Platform:<\/strong> PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, PC, Nintendo Switch 2 version coming later this year<br\/>\n<strong>Rating;<\/strong> Teen<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2347\">Real estate firms eye 400-plus homes at San Jose office building site<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IO Interactive creates a refreshing take on the British spy by improving on its stealth formula to offer more improvisation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Review: &#8216;007 First Light&#8217;
