Anyone on here played 007 First Light? Really good game IMO, plays like a mix of Hitman and Uncharted, with a decent chunk of action revolving around multiple big sequences in very cool locations that feel like they belong in Bond lore. 

Enjoyed the main game greatly, struggling to want to work through TacSim and replays of main game for completion. Just doesn't feel as fun re-doing it as Hitman always is, even 10 years after WOA first came out. Lennie James was absolutely fantastic, though.

I think once they add some DLC and other stuff to it, it'll be even better. Hitman took a few years for IOI to fully flesh out. I agree the replayability isn't huge right now, I feel the challenges could be highlighted a bit more, and some of the game still feels a bit too linear and obvious (graffiti arrows in Aleph literally show you the way to go at times) but it's a very solid base to work from, and the visuals are absolutely stunning IMO

Oh it isn't lack of content for me. I'm aware it'll take time for more to be added and appreciate that being the model of live service games. But some of the challenges have been absolutely infuriating so far. I'm a relatively experienced and capable player but things like the complete without being seen etc require so much RNG and so many attempts that it begins to feel like a chore rather than a game. Hitman WOA has occasional instances of this but the enjoyable content far outweighs the chores, especially when Freelancer landed. I think they'll just need to be willing to pivot and perhaps offer multiple ways of progressing through unlockables going forward to make going back more appealing on First Light.
