About John Wick Hex
✦ AI summary
Master tactical combat as John Wick in this strategy game that turns gun-fu choreography into turn-based decision-making, where every shot and reload matters. Unlock weapons, locations, and an original prequel story voiced by Ian McShane and Lance Reddick as you rescue Winston and Charon from a deadly new threat.
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.Please Note: PC version does not support controllers

I really like the core puzzle tactics loop but it definitely needs more varied encounter types, enemies and twists on the formula. Still a tepid recommendation especially if lack of variety is not a deal breaker.1 found this helpful

John Wick 4 Dragon's Breath Scene: The Videogame
the game is fun and the tatical / puzzle loop is also fun as you play you learn how to position yourself and move and what fights to pick. but if theres more than 2 enemies your basicly garented to take 3 or 4 damage and when you only have 10 health it adds up way too fast. you dont feel like a deadly killer when you kill someone it feels like you have a impact if you didnt pick it up in time your not missing much
play suit for hire which is what this game should have been or wait for untitled john wick game
