There's no shortage of games that try to sell the John Wick fantasy and they mostly do it with sharp suits and huge handguns, neon lighting and ultraviolence. Suit For Hire – an indie shooter that's quietly been gathering steam for the last few months, but has blown up after its 1.0 release on June 20 like someone murdered its dog or something – has all of those things. But it also has something else, a little spark that takes the simple environments and turns them into brilliant gun-fu arenas that'll make you feel like Wick himself.
You might be clearing out storage crates at a dock or parrying blades with a katana in a museum exhibit on ancient warfare. Whatever the setting, you're never standing still. Every level is a sandbox built for murder and motion, where each move flows into the next with the kind of mechanical confidence that few games manage to show off.
