The new James Bond game, 007 First Light, was released on PlayStation 5 last week, offering fans a fresh Bond experience on the latest consoles.
The team that created the recent Hitman games has made a new spy game that feels similar. Like those games, it blends action, shooting, hand-to-hand fighting, sneaking, and trickery.
I was really surprised by First Light! It’s a pretty straightforward action-adventure game, but the story is actually huge! You get to play as Bond traveling all over the world, which is exactly what you’d expect from a Bond game – it’s a classic globe-trotting experience.
The game definitely feels like Uncharted with its exciting, action-packed moments and frequent shootouts where you take cover.
Critics are raving about this game, and it’s quickly becoming one of the top-rated titles of 2026. Many publications are even predicting it could win Game of the Year.
Our reviewer, Stephen, was really pleased with it, saying it was pretty much perfect for what he expected.
In his review of 007 First Light for the PlayStation 5, he awarded it 8/10, calling it ‘great.’ He particularly praised the open-ended missions, noting how well they blended with the game’s more straightforward, story-driven sections to create a smooth, movie-like experience.
So, that brings me to today’s question: does 007 First Light deserve to be considered one of the best games of the year?
While the game definitely takes inspiration from others, its quality is undeniable. It’s a full-fledged, high-budget experience with exciting action and a well-told story. For a lot of players, that will be enough to make it a top contender for game of the year in 2026.
