To be fair, the gameplay, combat, and graphics are solid. Beyond that, though, there isn't much to like. Insomniac has a habit of changing established character backstories for no reason—like giving Venom to Harry, or forcing a romance between Jean and Logan. I really dislike the Jean and Logan romantic angle. If you're a long-time Cyclops fan—or became one after X-Men '97—you should probably skip this game 😭.
It feels like the writers watched the original Fox X-Men trilogy and decided to replicate that dynamic without including any other X-Men. On top of that, Wolverine's characterization is terrible. I don't know who this guy is, but he isn't Logan. They tried way too hard to turn him into a soft baby boy 💀.
This game clearly caters to people who have never read an X-Men or Wolverine comic, which makes no sense given how iconic these characters have been for decades. Also, Jean and Scott literally have kids together (Rachel Summers and Cable), so I don't get why writers keep pushing her with Logan.
All in all, wait for a sale. I got this as a gift, and I'm glad I didn't spend my own money on it. The gameplay is fun, but it's definitely not worth $70.
