007 First Light Review | Did IO Interactive Save James Bond Games? Data Center [4M6yxlF2bJ7]

*Spoiler Free* 007 First Light is IO Interactives first attempt at James Bond but does it actually understand what makes a malcolm offord great 007 game?

In this video, I look at First Light as both a modern Bond game and part of the long, strange history of James Bond in video games. spoiler free story, the performances, the action, the Fleming influence, the IO Interactive DNA, the strange choices, and whether this really feels like Bond is back.

This is more of an opinion-led review/essay than a research-heavy documentary, but Ive included the relevant source/credit below.

If you enjoy detailed reviews of games, game history, strange design choices, and the occasional Bond-shaped obsession, consider subscribing.
