An expansion of Pony Island's media study, both in its mechanical broadening and narrative scope, The Hex delivers a near even hodgepodge of gaming genres, horrifying discoveries, and stirring questions as to how the creator should treat their art. Where it at times outlasts the enjoyability of each characters' segments due to the simplicity of their designs, Mullins never fails to provide an onslaught of hilarious and upsetting metanarrative surprises to keep the player's engagement. His second major game may not have received the attention it deserved compared to Pony Island and Inscryption, but The Hex is another stepping stone to the complete masterpiece which Mullins has delivered in 2021.
