Bello tutto, gameplay grafica ambientazioni... Un mix tra uncharted e hitman. Sicuramente ci saranno DLC in futuro
absolute cinema 10/10
电影化的风格很鲜明,玩起来很流畅
Really overall great game. A few things repeating a bit here and there but nothing too bad. Feels like playing a James Bond movie, well done!
Good story. Actual James Bond scenery and action.
TLDR: 007 First Light is a solid, if unremarkable, Bond outing. Visually inconsistent, technically undercooked in places, and gameplay that’s fun but shallow. A decent play, especially on sale. 6.5/10. Graphics: Visually appealing in places, especially busier scenes like nightclubs or parties, where background music, scenery, and NPC activity combine to make you feel properly immersed. Those moments genuinely stand out. But step outside the “showcase” areas and it falls apart quickly, low-resolution artwork, flat lighting, and a general lack of ray tracing in areas the developers clearly didn’t expect players to scrutinise. It feels like a game built with consoles in mind first, without pushing what PC hardware can do. Technical Performance: CPU-bound in busier NPC-heavy areas, with one or two cores maxing out and pushing thermal limits unnecessarily. For comparison, Hitman handles similarly dense crowds without taxing the CPU anywhere near as much, so this feels like an optimisation issue rather than a hardware limitation. Conversely, later sections with vast metal warehouses and flat backgrounds barely use the CPU or GPU at all, underutilising the hardware when it could be doing much more. The lack of ray tracing, natural lighting, and proper HDR implementation really lets the visuals down; ray tracing in particular feels like it would have elevated the whole package. No crashes throughout, for what it’s worth. Story: Decent enough, though it leans into some tired, formulaic territory: a diverse cast that occasionally feels assembled for the sake of it, and the “obnoxious teenager becoming a man” arc is well-worn at this point. James himself came across as fairly annoying throughout, especially compared to the maturity of Daniel Craig’s Bond in the films; this felt closer to a teen TV drama than the Bond we’re used to. Structurally it plays more like Uncharted than a free-roaming RPG, a fairly linear corridor of “do this, then this”, but that’s not a problem if the characters and story hold up. Lennie James as Jonathan Greenway is the standout, bringing real weight and maturity to the story. The rest of the supporting cast is noticeably weaker by comparison. At around 20 hours, which felt about right. A bit more dialogue or character development would have been welcome, though the supporting cast probably wasn’t strong enough to carry much more. Gameplay: Fairly basic. A handful of gadgets for distracting guards and a workable but unremarkable weapon selection, mostly pistols and machine guns that run out of ammo quickly. Mechanics like disarming opponents or vaulting tables to create openings are a nice idea, but easily abused. You can tank hits from multiple directions, punch and throw enemies repeatedly, and take next to no damage, which undercuts any real tension. NPC AI doesn’t help either; enemies will walk right back into hazards that already hurt them, or fail to notice James standing a couple of feet away. Nowhere near Hitman’s level of polish here. Music: A genuine high point. The score elevates well as you move through different grand locations, and the opening sequence in particular nails that classic Bond feel. Conclusion: Action sequences are fun but heavily scripted, with little real threat of failure; only replaying sections for the challenge of a stealth run, and even then it only took two or three attempts. Worth recommending, but best picked up on sale. 6.5/10.
