The entire game is basically built as a shooty playground to have fun in. As well as acrobatics, this fits in some of the Hard Boiled movie’s crazier ideas like sliding down banisters or along hostess trolleys. In the same way as Max Payne this has a very Wick theme at its core - one man with great gun skills clears room after room of bad guys in the coolest ways possible. No idea why they’re there director John Woo, who worked on the game, just likes them. You could think of this as John Wick with doves.
True, its difficulty and rinse/repeat style of bludgeoning your way through levels might not initially seem as cool as Wick, but those moments when you nail it - sailing through impossible odds on nothing but instinct and reactions - is the stuff of dreams, and a rush like nothing else. This hyper violent top down shooter is probably one of the purest expressions of a John Wick fight scene: one man against many, with lots of guns and blood. It’s also got some great suits, if not the hair.
Its sheer room clearing satisfaction makes it a totally Wick-ish guilty pleasure, and the American set game even has a glorious Continental style hotel to practice in. However, if you really want to see Keanu’s face and get some third person Wick action, then you can easily make a good Reeves-a-like in the character creator for GTA Online.Ībsolution might not be the most popular Hitman game but it played around with one great feature - a point shooting mode that let you tag a string of enemies and take them all down in one glorious sequence of gunplay. And, because it’s GTA you’ve basically got a massive sandbox to recreate the entire movie in. You are Wick and, providing you’ve got the skills to match, you can mow down thugs and cops alike in your own personal ‘Holy shit I’m cool’ simulator. The main reason GTA 5 makes such a good John Wick game in first person is it really makes the guns the star. It’s also just a great game, with a fourth wall breaking story, as the main character’s unreliable narrator explains the plot while you’re actually playing. There’s a great set of weapons to play with as well as bullet time, and dodging, abilities to make you feel like an almost supernaturally talented gunman. Plus it’s a story of revenge, so totally John Wick in that respect. Okay, the time period’s off a little with its Wild West setting, but the dual wielding gun skills are all there.
