The Hex is a brilliant game that mixes six different genres: it is a shooter, a walking simulator, a fighting game, a classic JRPG, a platform, a tactical RPG and a surreal game that you have to play.
The Hex is a masterpiece that any enthusiast should play.

It’s six hours of a diversified gameplay with loads of secrets and good music in the background. And the finale is so delightful I wanted to clap during the credits. [13/2018, p.72]
An eclectic and unconventional videogame, which combines a rather original game structure to a salacious and sarcastic self-mockery.
The Hex is a really solid game that does a lot of very creative things. It’s definitely worth the asking price. However, it certainly won’t set your loins on fire and leave you dry humping the air for more. It’s an enjoyable jaunt with some cool ideas. Nothing more, nothing less.
Combining multiple genres and examining the relationship between game and audience, The Hex is a poignant, witty, cleverly written adventure spanning six protagonists and six very different – but smartly cohesive – stories.
It’s very funny, so busy with good ideas, and really damned strange.
Inside The Six Pint Inn, six video game protagonists are enjoying each others company when the barkeeper receives a call telling him that someone is planning a murder. Throughout the game you’ll explore the inn and delve into each characters past through a series of flashbacks. Each flashback plays out in an entirely different genre, and exploring these memories you begin to discover some dark secrets.
A couple of the genre flashbacks go on a little too long, but for the most part they all work pretty well. As one would expect from Daniel Mullins, The Hex also loves to mess with player expectations, and will keep players guessing throughout with all sorts of plot twists and secrets to discover. If you’re looking for something a little different, give this a go.

Some interesting subversions and the story does a decent job at holding onto attention and making interesting meta commentary, The gameplay itself is a collage of styles, none of which has much too it. The variety stops it from growing stale. But even so in the end the game does not feel like anything all that special.
