John Wick Hex

“Bought it at launch because I’m a massive John Wick fan. Would I do it again at full price? Only if I’ve just been declared excommunicado.” John Wick Hex has some very cool ideas: - Turn-based tactical action where every half-second counts, like you're choreographing a fight scene instead of playing a game. - The achievements are full of clever franchise references — one even unlocks if you start a new game exactly at 18:00 (a perfect nod to the end of Chapter 2). - The music? Absolute fire. Synthy, pulsing, stylish But there’s a catch. The visuals are... stylized, sure, but sometimes it feels like John got stuck in a PS2 fever dream. Most of the talking is done by other characters, which means our favorite assassin mostly just grunts and blinks. The setting and art style are definitely "for fans only" territory. There’s a post-mission replay feature where you can watch your run like a short action film - amazing in theory. But since there’s no way to share it with the Steam community, it often feels like you’re watching a private, low-budget fight between two drunk homeless in an alley. Cool feature. Needs a purpose. As for replayability… it’s tough. Tried going back on hard mode to grind out achievements - realized very quickly that the High Table demands too much. It’s more stressful than satisfying. Final verdict: If you love John Wick and catch it on sale - go for it. There’s some real passion here, and when it works, it really works. If you're not a diehard fan or hate frustration? You might want to dodge this one like a bullet to the face.
