If you like experiencing pain and simply hate yourself, this game is for you! This game puts John Wick in a strategic jacket where every move needs to be calculated because every move you make, takes you x amount of time and in that time, an enemy could shoot you, hit you, you could be just out of sight, you could be just in sight, you might a millisecond too late to kill your target before he kills you, it's madness.

I want a third / first person John Wick game as much as the next person but for the moment, this is the best we got unless you consider fortnite to be the closest you can get due to the john wick skin.
I was quite surprised with how much fun this game can be if you're not going for the platinum trophy or play on the harder difficulty where you have to make a move every 7 seconds, in the easier difficulty you have infinite time.
It is quite the challenge to make a decision that could cost you a good run and hold you back from getting the Baba Yaga name in any level within those 7 seconds but once you get it, DAMN, that feels good.

At times this feels like playing chess but with a murderous man named John "They killed my dog" Wick and a bunch of sorry men & women ready to take a whooping (and maybe whoop mine) and I must admit that it does make me appreciate strategic games a bit more, especially gamers who are good at these type of games, I envy these people.

Again, I would love a third person, action packed Triple A game within this universe which is in development too btw for god knows how long until release but for now, I think I can live with this game existing and making me grow gray hairs at least 20 years too soon (not even joking)
