Marvel's Wolverine Reviews
The Logan I know was always the best at what he does. This Wolverine, however, doesn't even know what he's doing, and somehow manages to stick his nose into things he knows nothing about and ruin those too.

A glitzy Wolverine game with a fun and violent fighting system, and some stealth, that is let down by too much hand holding and not enough faith in the player.

Marvel's Wolverine hits the mark in areas where Insomniac already excels: top-tier presentation, strong performances, and brutal combat that effectively captures the character's rage. The problem is that, as a game, the experience simply fails to evolve. Combat that impresses in the opening hour repeats with little variation right up to the end credits; exploration is rendered hollow by the protagonist's own heightened senses; and stealth segments feel like an underutilized add-on. Factor in an unusual number of bugs for a Sony exclusive, and the result is a title that delivers less of a game than its price tag and the Wolverine name promise.

Insomniac Games deserves a pat on the back. Why? Because they somehow took an interesting comic character like Wolverine and put him in the most standard and milquetoast game ever imaginable.
"A thrilling experience worthy of Wolverine" Marvel’s Wolverine delivers a powerful, polished action experience that succeeds—above all—in making the player feel like they are truly in control of Wolverine, thanks to visceral combat, excellent performance, impressive visuals, and outstanding technical execution. However, repetitive encounters and limitations regarding exploration and progression depth prevent it from reaching the level of a masterpiece. Nevertheless, it remains one of the best video game portrayals of the Wolverine character.

Marvel’s Wolverine makes a first impression that’s hard to ignore. Logan is fast, brutal, violent, and is set in a visual production that often seems to want to show off the PS5’s capabilities. For a few hours, I bought into all of that easily. The weariness came as I realized that a good part of the campaign would continue to rely on the same solutions. New enemies appear, Techniques and Adaptations increase the repertoire, and some sequences try to change the pace, but the game constantly returns to the same place: another arena, another wave of enemies, another overly long health bar. This repetition also tainted parts that should have had more impact.

Marvel's Wolverine's slick and satisfying combat wears thin well before its conclusion, so much so that even its strong character work can't quite save it from being anything more than okay.
Wolverine's characterisation is a bright spot in this otherwise underwhelming, old-school romp that reminds us how far action games have come.
Marvel’s Wolverine gets its claws in deep with a memorable, emotional, and high-stakes story, wonderful interpretations of Logan, Jean, and the rest of the cast, and brutally satisfying combat that distils the core of the character down to every snikt and claw pop.
At best, it’s a fun but forgettable experience that’ll entertain you for a few hours. At worst, it shows that just because you can make really good superhero games with one character, that doesn’t mean you can make really good superhero games with any character.
Wolverine is a game with momentary sparks of fun, but its mostly-good combat getting constantly dragged down by mediocre storytelling, poor pacing, and an underwhelming amount of player agency left me very bored far too often.
Marvel's Wolverine is an absolute triumph in nearly every category, doing for the character what Marvel's Spider-Man did for Spider-Man.
Marvel's Wolverine is a slickly presented superhero romp that casts players as the iconic mutant. Combat is extremely violent, as the character demands, but also highly repetitive. At least the enjoyable (if predictable) original comic book story offers motivation to continue. Check Amazon Check Best Buy
Marvel's Wolverine is a fun, blood-soaked journey that will have you feeling like a badass while also tugging at your heartstrings.
Marvel’s Wolverine is an action-heavy superhero game that does an excellent job adapting the iconic mutant.
That said, we're not going to "turn a blind eye" to Marvel: Wolverine: it's a great action-adventure that's well worth sinking your claws into this season... baby.

Marvel's Wolverine carves out its slot in a packed year for single-player adventures. The comparisons back to Insomniac's previous work are inevitable, and it's true that Wolverine's blood-soaked combat can feel more restrained and limited, but this globetrotting odyssey never outstays its welcome and sets the foundation for what could be a stone cold killer of a sequel.
It’s a bit of a shame that Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t able to crawl out from under the shadow of its spiritual predecessors. It certainly leans into the brutal, frenetic nature of its hero, and when it’s firing on all cylinders, it offers up some of the best, most action-packed moments we’ve seen this year. If it were a more confident game, it would cut out some of its hand-me-downs in favor of a leaner, more focused experience, but as it stands, players will have to learn to take the old with the new.
Marvel's Wolverine tackles the impossible task of bringing an unkillable killing machine to an interactive medium.
Wolverine is another great game from Insomniac. I was kind of shocked how linear and brief it was though.
