Gameplay

Players control James Bond as he goes through training and executes missions to become a fully-fledged MI6 agent. The game is played from a third-person perspective, with occasional quick-time events and cutscenes. As Bond, players participate in operations to advance the story, culminating in him "earning the number". Players may choose to complete missions aggressively, fighting enemies and taking them down, or by using bluffs and environmental items to slip past enemies and talk their way out of trouble. Bond is able to parry opponents' attacks and perform takedowns to neutralize them. While Bond is usually restricted to non-lethal means of combat when engaging enemies, he may be granted a "licence to kill" when enemies show the intent to kill him, permitting Bond to use lethal force, including the use of firearms. 007 First Light features an Omega Seamaster chronograph watch specially designed for the game, alongside the Aston Martin Valhalla sports car. Q's lab is responsible for supplying Bond's mission attire, weapons, equipment and vehicles. Bond's main tool on his missions is the Q Watch, a modified Omega Seamaster Diver 300M which can hack electronics, and he can bring other gadgets to use on his missions.
