I was pretty hyped about this but after watching some gameplay, I think I’ll pass. I thought it was going to be a lot more like Hitman but it seems more like a pure action game.
Like others have said, the the enemies are blind and deaf. Doesn’t seem like a bad game but not what I’m looking for

I mean, have you not seen a Bond movie? James is a terrible spy. He doesn’t hide, he doesn’t even give a fake name most of the time. And he is constantly getting captured.

I’m aware but it was getting compared to Hitman, a primarily stealth game, throughout development.
And according to the other reply I got, the comparison isn’t wrong.

I beat it already. It is a lot like Hitman, granted its been many years since I played a Hitman game.
The biggest is large levels with multiple paths and options for reaching your objective. Sneak through a series of vents and dodge guards; or lure a guard into a closet, knock them unconscious, take their key, and bluff your way in. Things like that.
If you get caught and enemies shoot at you, License To Kill goes live and you can use guns.

Can you play the whole thing stealth or is there mandatory combat? Maybe what I saw was just people not being good at stealth

You can totally infiltrate your way around the open ended sandbox levels and figure out the web of different ways to reach your target/objective for much of the game, similar to the Hitman remakes, but there are also quite a lot of mandatory scripted action sequences.

What's that? Huh? Probably the wind.

The first time I heard that line in Skyrim was, in fact, in an underground tomb.
You wouldn’t think there would be a lot of wind in Bleak Falls Barrow 😄

I’m a massive fan of James Bond and this game was fan-fucking-tastic! It really does an outstanding job of making you feel like Bond, but young and learning the ropes.
This and the Indiana Jones game not too long ago are peak movies -> games.

isn’t it the same game that got cancelled on twitter because of a khaby lame cameo?

Who cares about twitter?

I wish they would come out with an optional update to remove all streamers/e-celebs from the game because its not just Khaby thats in there. Their presence tarnishes the game but thankfully they are all entirely avoidable and non-consequential to any story-line so its not a huge deal, its just annoying that they are there at all. You have this cool cinema-style bond experience going on and then bam, theres Shroud/Jacksepticeye/Khaby standing there to bring you back to reality for literally no reason other than what? To bait content creators/streamers to see? So their fans can go “ooh theres my favorite streamer at a coat check!” I dont get it.
Let me remove them, it will not negatively impact the game.

someone will probably make a replacer mod eventually

I genuinely enjoyed it, made by the same studio behind the Hitman remakes, the shared DNA is unmistakable.

Sucks that I refuse to give money to Denuvo.
Fuck em.

Good thing that you can now sail the seas wearing a snazzy new hypervisor, then 😁

Alas, Linux. I did it to myself.
I’ll need to wait for a more dedicated crack to surface.

Thanks for the info!
(also I agree)
