Hindsight is 20/20 as they say, but after playing the game it’s clear to me that this was originally designed to be featured in location-based entertainment settings and marketing activations at events.
Imagine something along the lines of of Time Crisis, but in the John Wick universe. It doesn’t number the waves, but it’s still just a wave shooter at its heart. Enemies will funnel in towards you from all sides until the game has determined you’ve killed enough of them.

Things start off with a Training scenario that runs you through the game’s basics and teaches you to take stock of your surroundings in full 360-degrees, but it’s quite a bit more active than the training scenarios in most other games.Īt its core, John Wick Chronicles isn’t much more than a standard wave shooter. There are lots of guns to use and enemies to kill in this 1-2 hour action romp that will leave you sweaty and sore from all of its pulse-pounding intensity. The premise of John Wick Chronicles is that you take control of the titular assassin as you embark on a killing spree of your very own. And just like Reeves himself, John Wick Chronicles is a VR game that does a passable job of feeling and looking like a badass experience, but when you dig beneath the surface, it’s lacking enough substance to really make you feel satisfied. Luckily, he fits the John Wick persona perfectly. But at the end of the day he does a great job of looking and acting like a badass.
His performances are wooden and lacking real character and his delivery leaves much to be desired.
You see, the problem is that he’s just not a very good actor. In addition to these, he has starred in some real stinkers as well and some films that would have been far better had anyone else taken the main role instead of him. I’d also throw in Hardball as a personal favorite, but it’s not for everybody. The man has starred in some of the best films Hollywood has ever birthed, such as The Matrix, Point Break, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and of course the John Wick series. John Wick Chronicles feels like one giant metaphor for Keanu Reeves’ acting career.
