• 007 First Light lets players experiment with a wealth of gadgets in combat
• This includes Bond’s spy watch, a missile pen, and more
• ‘They seamlessly integrate into the fighting style more than you might have seen in the movies,’ explained senior combat designer Tom Marcham

My recent hands-on with the upcoming spy thriller 007 First Light was a pleasant surprise, revealing a level of mechanical depth that I don’t think has been evident from the marketing trailers so far.

Armed with an assortment of spy gadgets, players have a surprising level of freedom in how they approach combat encounters. “Pretty much all of our gadgets are usable in combat,” explained senior combat designer Tom Marcham in a recent interview with TechRadar Gaming.
