007 First Light Story Analysis: Does Bond Earn the Number?

Does 007 First Light actually tell a Bond story, or does it only dress an action game in a tuxedo? This full-spoiler story analysis follows the campaign chronologically and asks whether this younger James Bond earns the number through pressure, failure, judgment, and responsibility. Gameplay remains the evidence while each chapter examines what the story is doing with MI6, Greenway, THEIA, Isola, and the idea of 007 itself.
