007 First Light

наверное одна из лучших игр в которые я играл, как глоток свежего воздуха

Отличное начало для известной франшизы, околоидеальная игра про Бонда.

Despite my hours on Steam I rolled credits on this game. Main issue: The gunplay is jank and obscenely difficult, forced gunfights turn the game into a slog full of "that level" energy where almost every other level is "that level". The stealth is easy, and the complexity is okay and Hitman WoA trilogy-esque, except for the disguises, throwing items to distract enemies and there are far fewer deviating paths overall. The TacSim operations post-game mode adds a bit more challenge and while it was frustrating in parts was satisfying to finally beat. The graphics range from underwhelming to bad on the max settings available. This ain't no last of us or spider man, if there's ray tracing here I sure didn't notice. I attached my PC specs just to pre-empt any reply comments about me having a bad PC. The game runs great and I didn't notice any stutters. The hand-to-hand combat is very John Wick inspired and fun but it just doesn't work as well as something like TLOU part 2 does in terms of flow, janky animations and inputs that either don't work or sequences that don't quite connect or work the way you intend them make engaging with the forced combat sections a bit of a gamble every time. Sometimes you sit in cover, pick 'em off and you're fine, sometimes you're not, sometimes you run out into the middle of a gunfight and the enemies don't shoot you at all, sometimes you're insta-killed. Sometimes the weird aim magnetism makes you aim at a guy's shoulder, sometimes it's miles off, sometimes it's pin-point headshot, sometimes there's not any at all. The story is shockingly well-written even for a Sony game and were it a Bond movie it'd be in the top 5 easily, solidly beating out anything since Licence to Kill. I can't believe it but I was actually interested in what would happen next. Despite all those dodgy parts, missions like All The Time In The World, some parts of Uninvited, the first two thirds of Knightfall and basically the entirety of Wave of the Future and the first half of Time To Die until the awful forced gunplay starts are such a unique blend of Hitman and the traditional normal linear third person action adventure fare while also throwing in wacky car chases ala "Everything or Nothing" for the PS2... it's hard not to love it. I can't help but love this game. But I also don't think it's a very good game. Get it on sale.

Lil bit of Uncharted, lil bit of Hitman. Really fun game.

Eh... Kind of boring.. Lame story and characters. Predictable.. Boring gameplay

Look, I went in expecting a Bond skin over a stealth game. What I got was the closest thing to actually being Bond I've played since Blood Stone, and honestly it's not close. The early stuff sells you on a young Bond who hasn't earned the swagger yet. He fumbles. He improvises. He gets caught doing things a proper 00 wouldn't get caught doing. IO didn't hand you a finished spy, they made you become one, and that's the whole trick. By the back half of the game I noticed I was playing differently, not because the game unlocked anything, but because I'd learned how to think like him. Combat is scrappy in the best way. It's not a shooter with a gun budget, it's a guy who'd rather talk his way out, and when he can't, he grabs whatever's nearby. The improvisation system genuinely rewards you for looking around instead of memorizing a route. I replayed one mission four times just because I found three different ways through and wanted to see the fourth. The driving surprised me. I expected filler. It's not filler. Presentation is stupidly good. The score does the heavy lifting without ever going full parody, the voice work holds up (Bond sounds like a person, not an impression), and there are two or three set pieces I'm not going to spoil that made me put the controller down for a second. Complaints? Some stealth detection is finicky. A couple of the mid-game missions repeat their own ideas. That's it. That's the list. 48 hours. I've done the story, the challenges, and I'm going back for the harder difficulty because the systems are deep enough to reward it. If you've been waiting for a Bond game that isn't a licensed cash-in, this is the one. Buy it. 9.5/10

misson 08 trust me its worth it

The game is really terrible. Graphics are nice, but the gameplay is extremely boring because it's almost on railways and the game always tells you what to do. It's very cinematic but combat is very bland, you are too limited when it comes to gadgets and the first hours almost have no combat at all. Overall it is very disappointing, they should have not been so afraid to use a bit of their nice Hitman formula, including more open world levels, changing disguises actively and a more satisfying combat. Here you can enter restricted areas and always tell guards you were mistaken and they won't do anything to you xD Maybe one day I will have the mental strength to come back and finish this painful slop.
