John Wick is about being a badass and avenging puppies. That’s all you really need to know about the character, and that’s all the knowledge I had when I went in to play John Wick Hex. Bithell Games has taken the character and world of John Wick and turned into a somewhat slow-paced action strategy game, which sounds like the antithesis of the energy John Wick exudes on the big screen with Keanu Reeves. But hold up, I’m here to tell you that John Wick Hex is actually really good, and a genius deconstruction of action the character is known for.

John Wick Hex takes place in a stylized, cel-shaded world where John’s moment-to-moment decisions are broken down so the non-superhuman among us can keep up and execute an equally expressive and interesting fight scene. It plays out in the style of an XCOM-like, but with a single character. You’ll slowly be moving through stages one or two paces at a time, with a timer at the top of the screen indicating how many seconds – or fragments of seconds – each action you perform takes.
