HUD elements can't be removed from the main screen and are instead only duplicated on the GamePad, rendering the second screen fairly useless. The trouble is that these new buttons aren't necessarily more convenient not only do players have to divert attention away from the screen to change weapons in a heated fire-fight, but the same action can be done with a quick tap on the controller. Choosing the former brings the same experience as on other platforms, and the latter goes woefully underused, settling on placing a mini-map and quick-select buttons for weapons and equipment. Pointer controls are not supported, leaving players with either the Pro Controller or GamePad. Aiming down the sights snaps in an exemplary rigid way to basically eliminate any human factor of combat - dealing with swarms of enemies quickly becomes a robotic left-trigger, right-trigger slog. 007 Legends follows the Call of Duty template but crucially lacks the same flow of combat. Remaining hidden tends to frustrate more than anything and often falls back to shooting everything to bits anyway, the exact opposite of 'stealth.'

Unless explicitly forced to stay hidden, there is zero gameplay incentive to do so. The only way to take out an enemy and remain in stealth is to hope that nobody else sees the corpse, which can involve a lot of trial and error to learn the room's movement patterns. Stealthy bits try to fill this gap but are done in the most basic way possible: nobody knows Bond is there until one sentry spots him, and then every single entity in the vicinity knows exactly where he is, even if away from their field of vision. Gameplay is virtually indistinguishable from any other modern military shooter and rudimentary in execution, which puts Bond more often than not in the role of blunt soldier rather than super spy. By going down the hard shooter path, Legends sometimes doesn't even get the memorable parts right - Bond's car in Die Another Day stays firmly visible, Goldfinger's Fort Knox is a war zone, and Moonraker goes absolutely batty with zero gravity. The flashback structure removes any real flow to the story, leaving the game up to an incoherent slog through odd 're-imaginings' that are ill-suited to string together.

Herein lies the core of 007 Legends' problems: its elements are forced and disjointed with none meshing particularly well into a cohesive whole.
