When the news that Hitman developer IO Interactive was working on a James Bond game broke, you could feel the excitement build. Hitman: World of Assassination is a game that has continued to age like a bottle of fine wine over the years, and it's been too long since we've seen a proper James Bond game.
All that to say, we weren't surprised one bit with the positive reviews surrounding 007 First Light. Don't just take it from me; here's what our own Christian Bognar said in his review:
High praise indeed that we finally have a Bond game that plays as well as GoldenEye 007 (it handles like a dream on Xbox, seriously!)
How does it compare to similar titles, though? Well, if the reviews are any indication, we may have a new premier stealth franchise on our hands.
007 First Light Is Reviewing Better Than Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
As beloved as Hitman is today, it took some time for people to be won over.
Over the years, IO Interactive perfected the Hitman trilogy, leading to the current state of World of Assassination today. It isn't surprising to see that First Light's reviews are faring better...
