John Wick Hex Review Summary

Critic Consensus

Unique Strategic Gameplay

John Wick Hex captures the vibe of the films with it's engaging combat system of planning John's moves and being reactive to changes around you.

Be John Wick

Hex provides players with the perfect opportunity to step into the shoes of everyone's favourite assassin.

Rough Presentation

John Wick is visually a little rough around the edges in places.

John Wick Hex's frantic strategic gameplay isn't for everyone, but for those who enjoy the genre it's the perfect way to experience being John Wick.

Stylish cinematic super-violence is transformed into smart temporal puzzles.

An elegant tactical puzzler that captures the pace and action of the movies.

6.8 / 10.0

John Wick Hex is a simple, smart tactics game but its distracting lack of polish often thwarts its attempt to distill the fast action of the movies into deliberate gameplay.

At its best, John Wick Hex makes you feel like a trained assassin, but those moments are interrupted by strings of repetitive action

John Wick Hex successfully adapts the action from the film trilogy with a satisfyingly clever and fast-paced spin on turn-based combat.

3.5 / 5.0

John Wick Hex excels at making the player think like John Wick, but fails to back it up with combat that is representative of the titular assassin.

John Wick Hex is a clever turn-based strategy offering with some cool mechanics that, when everything comes together, can absolutely make you feel like you're Keanu Reeves' unstoppable assassin, kicking, punching and shooting your way through an endless procession of hapless goons. However, there's an unpolished element to proceedings, with a lot of repetition across the seven levels on offer, janky animations, shoddy replays and some unreliable AI behaviour that begins to grate after a time. With some more variety and a touch of polish, this could have been a really nice little movie tie-in, however, as it stands it's just alright; a brilliant idea that needed more time in the oven.

9 / 10.0

John Wick Hex on PS4 is a faithful take on the movie franchise, providing challenging gameplay, a superb soundtrack, and an authentic experience. Although the game's difficulty ramps up towards the end, it's still a great approach to adapting the movies into a video game.
