John Wick is discussed as a game that could work like Sleeping Dogs, Max Payne, or Sifu.
1. Game Fix Show centers on a PlayStation State of Play and several recent games the hosts have been playing.
2. Mike and Verlaine are the hosts, and they matter because both spend time on current releases, retro games, and showcase reactions.
3. The episode functions as a gaming-week roundup plus a showcase breakdown, with the John Wick trailer as the main hook.
4. Verlaine says Helldivers 2 has been kicking their “ass” on a robot planet before he and Jack finally complete a level 6 mission.
5. He also talks about Ball Pit, where he unlocks a third-level character who auto-assigns special moves.
6. Verlaine brings up Total Recall on Nintendo and describes getting stuck at the Lori and Richter fight.
7. Mike discusses Ring Fit Adventure on Nintendo Switch and says the game now tells him to cool down sooner than before.
8. He says he is around story chapter 18 of a game with roughly 20 or 21 chapters and notices the game is more polite as he gets older.
9. Mike also describes Romeo is a Dead Man from Goichi Suda and Grasshopper Manufacture as a violent action game built around Romeo, a demon, and a future grandpa.
10. He says the game starts with Romeo being killed, then revived as a half-robot named Deadman who keeps chasing Juliet in multiple forms.
11. Mike explains Hollow Knight by describing a grinding spot, a rest area, and the need to expand the map before venturing farther.
12. He says losing beads and currency becomes a problem if he dies before recovering them from the same area.
13. A live unboxing of a Nintendo Virtual Boy replica follows, and Mike compares it to the original hardware he played years earlier.
14. He notes that the unit cannot run Virtual Boy software without an apparatus, even though the trailer showed emulated footage.
15. The PlayStation State of Play segment starts with John Wick, and both hosts focus on how little gameplay-based material exists for the franchise in games.
16. They speculate about Sleeping Dogs-style rhythm combat, UFC-like controls, Max Payne similarities, and a Sifu-like counter system.
17. Mike then lists additional showcase picks, including Mina the Hollower, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid Collection 2, and Beast of Reincarnation.
18. He says Beast of Reincarnation mixes real-time action and turn-based combat, with a dog helping exploit enemy weaknesses.
19. The episode keeps an informal, back-and-forth conversational pace, with side jokes, rambling tangents, and live reactions to hardware and trailers.
20. Listeners who like showcase reactions, new releases, and retro hardware chatter will get the most out of it, while people wanting a tightly edited segment may skip it.
