Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
Don's analysis of John Wick release: no guns, mediocre mechs, poor LE value justify his decision to pass.
Synopsis
Don Beck reviews the Stern Pinball John Wick release day, discussing the absence of guns from the licensed game despite the IP's gun-centric nature, comparing it to previous Stern releases like Venom and Jaws. He analyzes the playfield mechanics, three-tier pricing structure, and overall value proposition, ultimately deciding against purchasing any edition due to expression light costs and insufficient mechanical differentiation between tiers.
