Dreadboi 007 First Light Review
May 31, 2026
This is my first Bond game, and it’s incredible. IOI nailed the combat, stealth, gadgets, mission design, story, music, graphics, and overall gameplay variety, and I loved how many different ways there are to approach objectives. Patrick Gibson was also an awesome James Bond. My main issues were the occasional bugs, performance hiccups, long load times, some underwhelming villains and boss fights, and Bond’s slow jogging speed. Even with those flaws, this is an incredibly fun and polished experience with deep gameplay mechanics, a great cast, and tons of replay value. Easily one of my favorite games of the year. 9.5/10.
