"The character exists most vividly as a hand at the bottom of the screen in GoldenEye 007. As it turns out, 007 First Light's Bond, depicted by Patrick Gibson, is an amalgam: the facial scar is an Ian Fleming detail, but the sweet-talking charm is straight from the Pierce Brosnan playbook."
"Trying to devise a Bond for all fandoms could risk satisfying none, but in the demo we played, the performance works. Crucially, Gibson brings an outsider's unease that's all his own, anchored by the arrogance that'll one day be weaponised by MI6."
"A multifaceted hero allows 007 First Light to convincingly move between playstyles. Step into a swanky Kensington press conference and you're playing a bite-size Hitman stage. Eavesdropping on guests hints at routes to a target."
"Unlike Agent 47, Bond won't break anyone's neck, and is more social animal than predator: get caught where you shouldn't be and you can deploy Instinct to placate an accuser with a smug one-liner."
IO Interactive's 007 First Light introduces a young James Bond, portrayed by Patrick Gibson, who embodies a mix of characteristics from different Bond actors. The game allows players to experience various playstyles, from stealth to social interactions. Players can navigate scenarios like press conferences, using charm and gadgets instead of violence. The character's development reflects an outsider's perspective, balancing arrogance with charm, and the gameplay encourages creativity in approaching targets without resorting to lethal force.
