The presence of other notable characters like M and Q lends a great deal of authenticity to Bond’s formative years.
Gameplay Dynamics and Features
007 First Light is an action game that handles a third-person perspective with stealth and explosives. Players will traverse through missions with various objectives. With the ability to replay levels with modifiers, players can interact with the various narratives like an escalation in Hitman.

Four different playstyles, including Spycraft, Instinct, Gadgets, and Combat for stealth and action-lovers. In this game, players can use Bond’s instincts, listen in on conversations, use gadgets from Q Branch, and engage in movie-like combat. The addition of exciting car-chase sequences is another excellent touch.
