007 First Light – Part 5-2
Our first operation as a rogue agent, and it’s a very risky one. We can manage, but only if we keep a cool head on our shoulders.
Streamed on my Twitch.
You can find Andre on his Twitch channel.
One of the most satisfying parts of playing a game like this with a guest is that moment they look at what you’re doing and say “I didn’t even know you could do that.” It’s one of the things I love most about the open-ended design philosophy that IO takes to so much of what they’re most known for.
Though really, this entire section works for me as another almost “final boss” area. We’re experiencing every element of what the game, including stealth, gunplay, social manipulation, platforming, and puzzle solving all in rapid fire. Each part lasts just long enough to deliver a satisfying bite without overstaying its welcome. It’s also beautifully paced. I never once felt as any one segment dragged while replaying it here.
Fitting for the end, this is the best of what First Light has to offer all wrapped up in a delightful package.
