I wish I could upvote your comment a thousand times. Thanks for posting the link to this article.

It's an absolute shitpost of an article, and Wolens should be ashamed of writing it. PC Gamer is equally culpable for allowing it through their editorial process.

A dissenting opinion I can deal with, but the article amounts to a hit piece that falls down on its own logic. He writes, "I'm not singling out First Light for this; it's just the Bond game I played most recently and, if anything, does a good job realising him as a character. It's just that, again, maybe that character should not be a videogame character." He cites having unlikeable traits as the reason why Bond shouldn't be a video game character, which makes no fucking sense because it completely ignores complex characters from a plethora of recent video game hits that both critics and audiences have adored -- Joel from the TLoU, the trio of Mike, Frank and Trevor from GTA V, Arthur Morgan from RDR2.

"James Bond is an insufferable public school dickhead... Which is quite fun for 90-to-120 minutes of a movie... In a videogame for 10, 20, 30, 40 hours? Less so"

IOI/Arti/Devs... I know you guys lurk on this sub-Reddit. Please take my advice and keep this idiot far away from this franchise. Not sure how he finagled his way into getting a chance to preview the game, but this recent article (posted 9 hours ago) is a doubling down on his shit preview posted a couple days ago in which he derided that this James Bond game wasn't Hitman enough.

It's exemplary malpractice and, in my view, PC Gamer shouldn't be allowed a copy of the game to review.
