Bond's New Spy Game Shines Early, Critics Laud 007 First Light

Early critics are praising IO Interactive's 007: First Light, with PS5/PC reviews averaging around 88 and several outlets hailing it as the best or among the best Bond games in decades; Xbox reviews are still rolling in, but initial impressions are similarly glowing, noting a tight stealth-action blend and globe-trotting campaign, albeit with caveats like a finicky cover system and pacing. The game reportedly runs about 14 hours and arrives on Xbox with a Deluxe Edition upgrade for preorder, while the Standard Edition becomes available May 27 if you didn't preorder.
