Description
John Wick Hex is a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like John Wick, the professional hitman of the critically acclaimed film franchise. Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must make quick decisions and choose every action and attack they make, all the while considering their immediate cost and consequences.
Featuring a unique blend of strategic momentum-based combat, John Wick Hex captures the feel of the unique tactical combat from the films and blurs the line between the strategy and action video game genres. Perform well and progress in the main story mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll use and the manner in which you’ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.
Experience an original new story set prior to the events of the films which sees John on a desperate mission to rescue Winston and Charon from a dangerous new adversary seeking his birthright. This story is brought to life by the world class voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, reprising their iconic roles from the films, and voice acting legend Troy Baker, joining the stellar cast as the game's eponymous villain 'Hex'. John Wick Hex compliments the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and an original score by renowned composer Austin Wintory.

I've put 15 hours into this game now and it's getting pretty hard but so rewarding. You have to think strategically, going in guns blazing will get you killed after the first few levels. Restarting a level to finish it with less health points lost is sometimes critical to completing a scenario because there may very well not be any bandages to pick up anymore. This game is difficult, no wonder only a couple percent players on Steam have the achievement of beating all levels. I really struggle getting out of the bank now. The voice acting is on point, the graphics simply are good enough so it runs on any old hardware. You also don't need high framerates because the game pauzes after every decision.
- Difficult, makes you think and makes the game rewarding
- Looks like it'll run on any old hardware
- Easily worth the couple bucks if only to play until it gets too difficult.
- Only playable with mouse/keyboard. Controller support is completely lacking.
- Camera angles in replays sometimes don't show the action or get stuck
- The randomisation of spawning ememies make some runs harder than others.

John Wick Hex is a puzzle game with a cool concept and some great ideas, but it ultimately falls short of being a great game. The game's combat system is unique and engaging, but it doesn't feel as satisfying as it could be. The animations are clunky and the overall experience feels a bit empty. The game's story is interesting, but it's not enough to carry the game on its own. If you're a fan of Hitman GO, you might enjoy John Wick Hex, but otherwise, you're probably better off waiting for a sale or skipping it altogether.
- new take on a video game
- cool art style and good story
- calm and relaxing gameplay
- a bit empty. could use more game development
- would like to see a more profound skill tree
- animations are repetitive
