007 First Light Game of the Year Poll

007 First Light arrived on PS5 last week, bringing some much needed Bond-ing to the current console generation.

From the developers behind the modern Hitman games, this new take on the English spy certainly shares similarities with Agent 47's recent outings, incorporating a mix of gunplay, close quarters combat, stealth, and subterfuge.

But First Light is also a much more linear action-adventure, built along a surprisingly expansive storyline that sees Bond trot around the globe in classic franchise fashion.

There's undoubtedly a bit of Uncharted to the whole thing as well thanks to a range of explosive setpieces and cover-based encounters.

Reviewers loved it, ensuring its place near the top of the pile when it comes to the highest rated titles of 2026 so far. In fact, a number of publications have already propped it up as a genuine Game of the Year contender.

Our own reviewer, the ever intrepid Stephen, said it was "more or less exactly what I was hoping for".

In his 007 First Light PS5 review, he gave it a 'great' 8/10, concluding: "It really shines in its sandbox missions, but it weaves these together with its more linear moments in a seamless, cinematic way."

And that leads me to the question I'm asking you lot today: is 007 First Light a Game of the Year candidate?

Yes, it's clearly derivative of existing games, but no one's denying the title's overall quality. This is a proper AAA excursion, packed with action and confident storytelling. For many, that'll be more than enough to solidify it as one of 2026's best.
