00:00I've played three hours of 007 First Light and IO Interactive have cooks here.
00:08So right off the bat, don't expect this to be Agent 47 in a Bond skin.
00:12You're not going to be dropped into a sandbox where you find a disguise and make your way around a
00:17massive level.
00:18What this is in terms of gameplay, think of it more like Uncharted meets Hitman
00:23with a little bit of Gears of War in there for good measure.
00:27But to simply limit it to that is doing it a disservice.
00:30Because honestly, this could be one of the best Bond games I've played since GoldenEye.
00:37And it comes down to IOI nailing all of the fundamental parts that make a great Bond game.
00:42The presentation, top notch.
00:45Graphically, this is a beautiful game across all of the levels that I went through.
00:50The voice acting is really good.
00:52And shout out to that incredible orchestral score going on in the background.
00:55All of it really comes together to make you feel like you're in a Bond movie.
00:59And then there's a gameplay which has an impressive amount of pretty accessible depth.
01:04So you start by relying on your spycraft wares.
01:07Maybe figuring out a way to sneak past security.
01:09Maybe using your stealth.
01:11Using a sick dart from your watch to get past some guards.
01:14Or you could bluff your way past it.
01:16But if things go wrong, that's where the combat comes in.
01:19And the hand-to-hand combat feels really good in this.
01:22But where it gets great is when you get your license to kill.
01:25And then you can shoot your way out of the situation.
01:27The gun combat feels impressively weighty in this.
01:30And the real beauty comes when the gun combat and hand-to-hand really start to come hand-in-hand.
01:37Taking a gun off one of your enemies.
01:39Shooting some others.
01:40And then when you're out of bullets, throwing it at the other guy.
01:42And knocking him out and picking up his gun.
01:43It all comes together really, really nicely.
01:47So I know normally in this situation I should be saying go ahead and let me know in the comments
01:51what you think of the bond game.
01:52But I already know what you should be thinking based on my thoughts.
01:55Which is, you should get hyped.
01:57This is going to be a banger.
