What it is
John Wick Hex is a single-player action-strategy game from Bithell Games. Its combat asks you to choose actions and attacks while weighing their immediate costs and consequences, using a momentum-based approach inspired by the films’ tactical fights. The original story takes place before the films and follows John on a mission to rescue Winston and Charon from a new adversary. Progressing through the main story unlocks weapons, suit options and locations. Weapons affect your tactics, and ammunition is finite, so reloading and scavenging matter during a fight. The game includes Steam achievements, Cloud support and Family Sharing. It was released in 2020 for Windows and macOS.
