007 First Light

Müthiş bir oyun IO Interactive devam oyunu yaparsa şahane olur

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] This isn't a terrible video game; it's just an "okay at best" interactive movie that drags on for over 20 hours while holding your hand every single step of the way. Personally, I don't think I'll be playing it any further. Right from the start, everything that happens is so blatantly obvious, corny and predictable that I just don't feel like my time will be rewarded if I keep going. [h1]The longer version:[/h1] This is one of the toughest reviews I've had to write, especially since I've been a massive Bond fan since I was a kid—but... I don't know, it's just not it. Even GoldenEye on the N64 had more interesting gameplay, even though back then you basically just had a free License to Kill™ through 99.99% of the game. This works pretty well as a tie-in to James Bond's long-running story, but much like the somewhat recent Indiana Jones game, this one is geared more toward people who have never played video games (or have played very little) but want to experience more of their favorite franchise in an alternate medium. That said, it's definitely not a game for hardcore gamers or those who have experienced much better titles in the same genre. Sure, it is a visual spectacle with massive explosions, great physics, smooth animations, and lots of visual storytelling and details that give you a great feel for the places you're visiting and the story itself. But it is just so damn linear, so limited, and so incredibly silly at times that it starts to feel unbearable after the tutorial and the first five hours. Most of your experience in this game is strictly linear. You can't go off the beaten track, and when you try, the game eventually forces you back. Whatever you do outside a 5- to 10-meter radius goes completely unheard by the nearest NPCs. It just feels like the game is constantly telling you, "You did a good job, sport! Now on to the next room!", even if you just majorly effed things up for an MI6 agent. It's almost like the game doesn't let you fail or think strategically; you just do things and the story progresses on rails, no matter your input. The car chase scenes are clearly only there to satisfy sponsorship deals with Range Rover, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and others. It's basically just a showroom of British cars—both classic and modern—going fast. Take them out, and absolutely nothing changes gameplay-wise. Well, unless you decide to drive off a cliff, which results in an immediate game over, but that's about it. And to top it off, the car models aren't even that detailed to begin with. It has too many silly, borderline stupid quips and moments in the most inappropriate situations—the kind that only the most simple-minded players would find clever, thinking, "Wow, that is so funny!" or "Man, I would have done the same, he's just like me." Here's an example: You walk into a room and beat the absolute ♥♥♥♥ out of everyone, making a massive ruckus and completely destroying the environment, only for the enemies in the very next room to not even flinch, let alone come over to check on the noise. You can go full-blown guns blazing, and no one will be the wiser. Even after all the gunfire and chaos you just caused, all you have to do is throw a few witty quips their way and you're clear to go about your business as if nothing happened. To me, this is just silly beyond measure. Meanwhile, in Hitman—which is admittedly a different style of game, but comes from the same studio—if you so much as accidentally pull out a firearm, you'll soon have every NPC on the level hunting you down like a dog. But here? No. You're James Bond! You're the master of corny dialogue and cringey puns. You're good to go, Mr. Bond! Never mind that you just slaughtered half of our security—just head to the next room and proceed with the story. Also, here's some easy p*ssy for you, because why the hell not? There is honestly a lot more I could say in this review—granted, more bad than good—but I feel like the positive aspects were already covered at the beginning, while the flaws are so numerous I don't even feel like listing them all. Play it if you want, especially if you're a die-hard 007 fan, and maybe you'll see exactly what I mean. But if you're a seasoned gamer who has played more complex, engaging titles (like Hitman, for example), you'll definitely find this subpar, especially given the studio's respectable portfolio.
