007 First Light's naughty schoolboy antics feel like a spiritual successor to Bully and I'm having the time of my life pretending Bond is Jimmy

Bond smirks in the driver's seat of a truck in 007 First Light.

The best part of 007 First Light is the tutorial montage. It's a small slice of rambunctious mayhem Bond can enjoy before being thrown into a national conspiracy against MI6, where the most important item on his to-do list is impress his fellow 00 initiates and make the cut himself.

But as I break grapples, throw punches, and get away with more than one dirty trick during the close-combat tutorial, this particular brand of rambunctious young adulthood feels familiar to me. The last time I played a game with a protagonist this cheeky and sneaky was back in the PS2 days, but it's good to see the spirit of one of the best Rockstar games ever living on in 007.
