Windows Central
A large variety of global locations
Satisfying stealth with a ton of dynamism
Seamless weaving between close-quarters combat and cover-based gunplay is masterfully designed
Intriguing story with great, memorable characters and worryingly contemporary plot points
Functional mirrors!
A tad glitchy, with checkpointing often creating inconsistent scenarios on load, as well as oddities with Xbox Quick Resume
Quality and performance options on Xbox Series X are both a bit disappointing

Artistic direction, superb. The James Bond atmosphere, perfectly respected. The tense fights, very cinematic. The freedom of approach in missions, fun. Effective infiltration and fun gadgets. The staging, spectacular.
Some disappointing textures Some slightly empty backgrounds AI sometimes too permissive Some bugs and stiff animations No French dubbing

Pizza Fria
007 First Light respects the essence of James Bond, even while presenting an original origin story.
Subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese
Close combat is fun and fits the protagonist's personality.
The story blends espionage, action, conspiracy, and cinematic atmosphere very well.
The variety of gameplay can be enjoyable for different types of players.
Some puzzles slow down the pace of the adventure a bit.
The freedom of approach is good, but it doesn't seem as wide as in Hitman.

Games.ch
Atmospheric and dense James Bond experience with plenty of 007 style.
An exciting story about the origins of young Bond
Successful fleeting passages with multiple solution options
Various missions and locations
Powerful blend of stealth, action and exploration
High quality audiovisual staging
Bond's gadgets are cleverly integrated into the gameplay.
Close combat with a sometimes confusing camera direction.
The counter-windows are too generous in some places.
Vehicle crossings are the weakest link in a playful way.
No dubbing in German and a few small errors in the German subtitles.

Generación Xbox
The plot and the story are very original.
The soundtrack is superb
The design and construction of the young Bond
It's too linear.
It doesn't bring anything new to the genre.
The driving sections left me wanting more.

Fantastic and authentic treatment of the Bond name and franchise
Truly ambitious globe-trotting adventure
Patrick Gibson is a wonderful 007
Glacier Engine is astounding
Excellent platform to build from
Narrative and character development sometimes leaves a little to be desired
The gameplay philosophy is a tad confused and doesn't seem to know if it wants to be Uncharted or Hitman
A few bugs and crashes here and there to iron out

Areajugones
Well-crafted fanservice and references to books and movies
The level design is great.
Research sequences with their multiple paths
Stealth systems are working perfectly.
This version of James Bond has a lot of charisma.
The Tac Sim mode, which increases the replayability of the game.
Some transitions between infiltration and action feel a bit chaotic.
The most spectacular moments always follow the same format, and sometimes they can be a bit repetitive.
The villain is forgettable and does not stand out.
The artificial intelligence of enemies is necessarily limited in stealth sequences.

A successful casting, especially Bond
So many situations, always different, always stimulating.
Written like a beautiful James Bond movie
Some action sequences are masterful.
Artificial intelligence of enemies leaving something to be desired
Some slight drops in pace during the briefing sessions.
We would have liked to have some more gadgets.
