When Wick is good, it’s really good. The atmosphere is tense and the setting sufficiently spooky. Yes, it’s all a tad clichéd, but it works, and for the first few hours at least, is as scary as just about anything this generation. Problem is, that sense of tension is somewhat fleeting. After a few hours, the jump scares begin to lose their effectiveness and the games’ limited scope and basic mechanics become more of an issue.

The game starts off rough. First, you sit through a loading screen to get to the start menu. That’s fine, I thought to myself, I just started the game. Next, I’m greeted with a start menu… with an unfortunate taste in fonts. It’s nothing to gripe about, but coming from a minor graphic design background, I just didn’t find the font to tell the story of the game too well.
