I have this persistent feeling that I was screwed like a goy out of 70 euros. This game has a AAA budget, but it's actually a B-grade product. In Hollywood, they call this kind of content "big-budget trash." I don't know where it got such high ratings and positive reviews. I'll describe what this game consists of. It's just a collection of primitive cinematic cliches and cliches that are already considered bad manners in polite society. This game is essentially a movie, not absolute cinema, but a scripted console movie with a ton of classic cutscenes and gameplay cutscenes where characters either just chat or you go somewhere. Half the game consists of that. The other half is primitive, forced, and drawn-out social stealth and classic stealth with blind and stupid enemies. The gunplay is the only element that brings any interest, but it's the least of it. At the same time, the enemies manage to be incredibly stupid even in combat. During an active firefight, an enemy can suddenly leave combat mode and switch to alert and search mode, while allies are being killed point-blank right before their eyes. Did they just steal this money? Where's the quality, Karl? The direction and script are just primitive crap. A collection of hackneyed movie cliches and jokes that only evoke laughter. Damien's resurrection. In the first battle, we kill Damien. He was fucking crushed to death by pipes; no one survives that. But he miraculously survives, rises from the dead, and we have a second boss fight with him. Logic? Nope. Another stupid movie cliche. Aizola's teleportation. The character literally spawns out of nowhere at the end to save the main character. Did she chase Bond through the MI6 office, the subway, and the sewers this entire long journey? Pure nonsense. Morgan's death from the walkers. We get off the truck, and a poor guy with a gun instantly materializes behind us. Was he under the truck the whole way, like a train hopper? And Morgan heroically shields Bond from a bullet and then succumbs. This is handled as stupidly and cheaply as possible. It could have been handled well, but the developers decided to ditch a quality script. Eat up these primitive B-movie cliches. Mmm, this is delicious, as the Shaman said. There's no point in even mentioning the villains. They're evil because they're so evil and cunning. That's all. Physics and logic have completely left this world. In the cutscenes, a crowd of trained gunmen rain bullets down on Bond at point-blank range, and NOT ONE hits. In the interactive cutscene where you have to run under enemy fire, NOT A SINGLE fighter hits the main character; it's utterly ridiculous. It's just a place for facepalms. And what about the part where the main character throws a motorcycle or ATV at an infantry fighting vehicle and it explodes, destroying the vehicle itself? Why did the ATV explode on impact? Why did the infantry fighting vehicle explode on its own??? Autopilot on the roads. When you're given control of the car, the game forces you to go in the right direction. Basically, just hold down one button and that's it. Broken boss fights. During the second fight, Damien just froze in place. That's the final boss, by the way. He just stood there, completely unresponsive to gunfire or sound. He only woke up when I was already brazenly rubbing against him, because the capture script was playing. Meanwhile, all the bosses are boring arenas with traps. I understand if such mechanics are used for a weak hero, but this is fucking James Bond. The main character has to crawl around cover on his knees because the developers were too lazy to write a proper combat AI. Optimization seems fine, but for some reason there were a few severe freezes during some cutscenes. I don't know why. I was expecting a cool mix of Hitman and, um, Uncharted, with large, varied locations like in Hitman, and a choice of guns, gear, and gadgets before the mission. In the end, it's NOT a fucking JA, as Tinkov said. What we have here is an incredibly boring, stuffy, and primitive corridor shooter (I don't like corridor shooters, but this isn't even that). The developers sell weapon skins and gadgets for real money (paying for air you won't even see in the game), but they're not in the campaign itself. They're shoved into a set of dull, standalone challenges that practically no one needs. This is literally a scam. The game doesn't understand what it wants to be. Is this really a game, for how much, 200 million dollars? A massive budget went into graphics, animation, and pompous cutscenes, but the developers decided not to think about the gameplay itself. The quality is mediocre, but the candy looks delicious, but if you bite into it, it's not made of chocolate at all, but of a slightly different brown substance... It's beautiful, but completely dead, a scripted dud with broken mechanics and a very primitive, cliched plot. They squandered the money, and lured the players. I give this game a 3 out of 10. I do not recommend it.
