And now, with them in mind, it's time to play ... BAKE, RAKE, OR LAKE! Meaning which of them would you cook a plate of cookies for (bake), which of them would you work with for 3 months doing yardwork (rake), and which of them would you shove in a body of water (lake)?

(For me, it'd be ... The Austism Creature, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Count Dooku. And it'd be Bake, Rake, Lake in that order.)

So recently I have finished playing 007 First Light’s main story and for the recorded I haven’t watched any of the James Bond movies, never read the books, nor have I ever played any of the previous James Bond games but I was a fan of the Hitman games (1-3) and I played this on the PS5 so with that clarification out of the way I will now give the actual review.

I’ll give this game a 8/10. The game is detailed and very beautiful and even though this is made from the same company (i.o.interactive) that made hitman it isn’t just a reskin of the hitman games and does a great job of making you feel like a badass with it to me feeling like a mix of Hitman, watchdogs and uncharted. The main story was great in my opinion and yes the game is more linear in game play but that doesn’t mean there is a isn’t different styles you can play you can go stealth, you can try to bluff your way through restricted areas or immediately start throwing hands with most of the enemies. A great mechanic I like is the bluff it’s almost like a get out of jail free card if you can’t fight your way out but it doesn’t work on every enemy which prevents it from being too broken and the dialogue the bond and the other characters has is funny in my opinion it truly feels like someone entering into a world which is good since this is an origin story.

So the reason it is 8/10 is because I wasn’t that into the driving sections especially the first 2 times your drive but I personally never been good at driving in games so it could be a skill issue in my part but I did get better at it as time went on, the shot outs were sometimes annoying with some chapters has waves of enemies which can be very overwhelming and forces you to use the environment or you will just be stuck in ground hog day, and some of the enemies (the brutes) are a bit to spongy and the technically second boss fight was the only real fight I had a problem with besides that most of the fights were fine and also some of the npc enemies would bug and get stuck behind stuff.

(Every story is made of tropes, just like how every sentence is made of words. Still, some tropes can feel a bit overused if a storyteller doesn't do something different with them. What do you think could be an interesting variation to this trope? It doesn't need to be elaborate or surprising or original, just something that might appeal to you personally.)

(For Example: I want to visit South Korea, yeah, but more specifically, I wanna visit the giant statue of Yi Soon-Sin in South Korea.)

Be as specific as you can. Not in way of an address, but more than merely "at work" or "at school". For example, "in the storage closet that smells like mildew" or "in the science room with the weird dent in the ceiling".

But anyway ... I guess I'm going to be raising it now. Any recommendations for what I should call it?
