Wrapped up 007: First Light!
What a fantastic experience. Ever since the initial announcement as a huge fan of IOI's work, I had a feeling that James Bond + IOI would be a match made in heaven, and damn did that end up true.
They nailed the James Bond experience, from the aesthetics, to gadgets, to the spy fantasy, proper Bond action setpieces and of course the music. I wasn't going in expecting Hitman: 007 Edition, and I'm glad that's not what I got.
IOI straddled the line really well, with open ended levels that let me use different approaches to tackle objectives and other missions or sections that were more linear. It felt like the perfect blend of Hitman and Uncharted. The plane setpiece was pure adrenaline rush.
Weapons felt great to shoot (headshotting dudes never got old), locomotion and navigating environments was very smooth. I played on PS5 Pro and the visuals were beautiful overall. There were some instances of low res texture work, but it wasn't enough to detract from how gorgeous each level was, with lots of variety.
I appreciated how surprisingly deep combat was, with different enemies requiring different tactics, being able to fight dirty by grabbing things in the environment and chucking them at bad guys, slamming them into desks, cabinets, etc. It all felt suitably "Bond" and how I'd picture him using everything within his means to fight.
There were times where I got a little caught in the environment or some animations felt a little clunky and janky, but it was only sometimes and didn't take away from my experience.
I will say that I think Patrick Gibson makes an awesome young Bond. He did a great job hitting the right notes and portraying him as a reckless but loyal agent who's coming into his own. Character performances from the rest of the cast were also all excellent.
Overall, I had an incredible time. I've played a lot of James Bond games over the years and this honestly might be the best one I've ever played (yes I still love and adore GoldenEye). IOI nailed it. I can't wait for more. Bring on that sequel! 🔥

Když prezidenta posloucháte, tak to je taková ostuda, jak s ním vláda jedná!
Řeknou mu osmého, pak zase 22. nebo mu nejsou schopní dva měsíce odpovědět.
To je fakt síla. 🫣
Jediný plus, že mu schválili cestu na Valné shromáždění OSN, čímž dříve vyhrožoval Micinka...
Navštívil jsem schůzi vlády, abychom společně diskutovali koordinaci účasti ústavních činitelů na vrcholných mezinárodních setkáních. Oceňuji, že vláda potvrdila dohodou o účasti prezidenta v OSN dle dosavadní zvyklosti a ústavní kompetence. Jsem přesvědčen, že budeme podobně usilovat o společné řešení i ohledně summitu NATO v Ankaře. Vycházím přitom ze slov premiéra Andreje Babiše, který dnes jasně deklaroval, že vláda nehodlá omezovat pravomoci prezidenta. Věřím, že svá slova dodrží.
Na třetí knihu od @levelcz – Velká historie českých her – si sice počkáme až do letošní zimy, o to vymazlenější ale tahle pocta českým hrám bude! 🧡 A protože se čekání protáhne, máme tu pro vás malý dárek v podobě naprosto epesního plakátu s českými hrami.
I am honored to return to the God of War saga, as the composer of God of War Laufey.
I’ve been working on this for years with a stunningly talented team of developers, musicians, performers, and singers, and look forward to sharing more of all our work with you soon!
