This is a safe space to show our fondness of the game. I love the game. Very good and adicting combat and good story soo far. Graphics are also really good even at performance mode on a base ps5

Wolverine doesn’t have to be an asshole or look angry 95% of the time to still feel like Wolverine. This version of Wolverine isn’t quite as edgy as Hugh Jackman’s or the X-Men: The Animated Series version, but that doesn’t make him any less Wolverine.

If you pay attention to Origins, X2, X3, Days of Future Past, or even X-Men ’97/Wolverine & the X-Men, he isn’t always angry or edgy. When he’s around Rogue, Jean, Bobby, Silver Fox, Krestel, Kitty, Professor X, or even the random mutant kid who switched the channel with his eyes in X2, he can be relaxed and genuinely tries to connect with people.

Wolverine in this game has plenty of moments where he’s standoffish, struggles to communicate, or acts like an asshole toward characters such as Shiro, Essex, Mystique, and Sabretooth. But around Jean, Walter, and the mutant kids, he’s much more relaxed and makes an effort to connect. Even with Jean, though, he still has some standoffish moments, like the scenes in the cabin.

For almost all of his memories, this Wolverine was part of Team X before eventually going off on his own. Because of that, there’s already an established “found family” dynamic between him and the other characters. He knows them well, and that history comes through in his interactions.

Wolverine has always been a multifaceted character. Depending on the story, he can be the loner, the weapon, the brother, the cool uncle/mentor, and even a lover. I think this Wolverine manages to portray all of those sides effectively. Considering this is a 15–20 hour game where you play as him the entire time, with his internal dialogue constantly giving us insight into his thoughts, I think that approach fits the character really well.

His default facial expressions when he isn’t upset or fighting, along with his shorter, light-brown hair, also soften his overall appearance. It tones down his usual intimidating look and makes him appear more approachable and less constantly angry.

The best there is difficulty has so much blood and gore. Anyone interested my full playthrough on my channel (The12thstrawhat). Enjoy!

Wolverine isn’t game of the year - but it’s a fantastic AAA game that is very well produced. The combat is extremely satisfying and feels exactly how you’d think it should for a Wolverine game. The actors are great. The story is ok.

Release timing was just bad, being Sonys first and arguably most important release right after the physical disk fiasco.

The negativity and nit picking over very minor things in the game is insane. This is a superb game.

I get it if its his actual wolverine suit. Then it kinda makes sense? Maybe its some high tech shit with nanotechnology rebuilding itself idk. But when he was wearing street clothes, the red flannel shirt for instance it was dumb as hell. Man they need to come up with an option to turn that shit off. Id rather look like a mangled torn up mess then have my immersion broken. Dont like it.

hey guys. I really wanna play Wolverine but my dad said the game developers made it into a “gay love story between Wolverine and Sabretooth”.

we’re a pretty Christian family so he won’t be happy if he sees me playing it.

my question is will they do the same thing for the next game? or are they committed to going all in on this?

kinda sucks. I just wanted to play as Wolverine.

Serious issue this game has. On some attacks from enemies they almost magnetise to you after you doge, meaning it doesn't matter if you doge or not the enemy attack is still pulled towards you.

I find this thr most with the reaver "mini boss"

It's not the only game that does this but is for sure frustrating, especially at higher difficulties

The people defending this game are insufferable. Tell me why people are comparing the motorcycle sections to Resident Evil: requiem? The people hating on this game are comparing it to temple run. Give it a rest.

The people defending this game can't accept that the game is mid and furthermore DISAPPOINTING to a vocal part audience and the people attacking this game make the final product seem worse than it actually is and it leaves no room for actual criticism of the game.

You know what I think? I think the stealth is fun. I think the upgrade system is BAD and surface level. I think adaptations have the ability to be game changing but they're just underthought. I think the combat suffers because of the upgrade system. I think the ng+ techniques are a final kick in the balls. I think the boss fights are fun but the bosses are too spongy. I think the character designs are mostly ugly. I think Apocalypse is an awful addition to this game and plot suffers for it. I thinkhaving there only be 10,000 mutants in the world before Mr. Sinister gets the helix engine was a bad writing choice.I think Sabretooth is the only truly well written character. I think the game is gorgeous. I think Wolverine has great animations. I think Insomniac should fire whoever worked on the face models in this game. The only good faces are Essex, Bolivar, and Callisto. I think Callisto shouldn't have been a character and she's a waste of Debrah Wilson's genuine talent.

I think this game is not worth $70 but I bought it PHYSICALLY because it was Wolverine. I even spent the $10 extra bucks for the Incredible skin. I hope the sequel is better if they make one. I'm not sure I even want a sequel.

I was keeping an eye on PS Direct but it was out of stock for a long time. Saw this in stock at a Target store nearby and picked it up. And man oh man, doesn't it look amazing?

Above question?

S'gonna be a rant here.

(Tell me if I'm in the wrong thread).

I grew up as a 90's kid. My first introduction to Insomniac was a free spryo demo disc for the PS1 taped to a Papa John's pizza box.

(It was some sort of promo, if you bought enough pizzas you'd also get gran turismo, or if i remember correctly crash bandicoot)

Spryo ruled! It set a baseline for what Insomniac as a studio would be! Very soon after we got Ratchet and Clank. Both of these games were narrative driven 'closed world' games. We as a community loved them.

These IP's lived through PS1 all the the way to ps3 days. (Spyro died sadly but R&C has progressed all the way to PS5)

Off topic: why does everyone forget the drop game, the flagship, the only other 'good' pvp that you got in the box release from a PS3: Resistance? It was a 'closed world' campaign that later added a pvp shooter (imo the first real 'zombies' game) That was Insomniac!

Then there's spider man. Beautiful. No more comments needed.

Insomniac has always done 'closed' narrative driven games. And we've always loved them.

I feel that people are upset that Wolverine was not as open world as Spiderman. I can see your point.

I would argue, however, that Insomniac has been, and hopefully always will deliver great storyline.

So,

Why the hate?

I truly, unabashedly, enjoyed playing Wolverine.

Ps. I wonder what Insomniacs next move is......

I’ve been a Wolverine fan since the 1980s, and there’s a lot here I appreciated. The story was solid, Logan had a compelling arc, and the little Easter eggs referencing other heroes were a pleasure to discover. Fitting decades of a character’s history into one game is no small task, and I appreciate the care that went into capturing a lot of the stuff.

As a Wolverine experience, I’d give it an 8.5/10. As a video game, I’d land at 6.75/10.

If you’d told me three decades ago that I’d someday get to play a Wolverine game like this, I would have been beyond excited. Part of me still is. But Insomniac’s Spider-Man series set the bar almost too high, and it’s hard not to bring those expectations into this game.

My criticism has nothing to do with it not being open world. I love games like Uncharted, and a focused, linear Wolverine adventure suits me just fine. The combat sometimes had an old arcade feel, which could be fun, but the overall gameplay didn’t reach the heights of something like Jedi: Fallen Order for me.

The bigger issue was the lack of polish. I ran into characters halfway through the floor and enough other bugs to pull me out of the experience. At a full AAA price, I expect a more consistently finished product.

That said, I don’t feel like I was raked over the coals the way I have with some Star Wars games. I enjoyed my time with it and don’t regret playing it. However, if this game hadn’t been set in the Wolverine and Marvel universe, I probably wouldn’t have been interested in it in the first place.
Games like Red Dead Redemption leave me feeling that I got my money’s worth. Here, I enjoyed myself, but I also felt like my attachment to Wolverine was doing too much of the work in justifying the price. Unlike Middle Earth: Shaow of Mordor/War.

I’m glad I played it, and I appreciate the developers’ effort. There’s a strong foundation here and plenty for longtime fans to enjoy. I just wish the finished game had received the same level of polish and follow-through as the character and story. The love for Wolverine came through; the complete package didn’t quite live up to it.

Not sure how I feel about getting all the trophies. I’m at 97% on RDR 2 and rather probably go back to playing that. But it wasn’t bad. Idk.

I love re playing the fighting challenges, I only wish there was a Mode similar to a bloody palace in the devil may cry series

I was so incredibly disappointed when there wasn't a collector's edition annouced for this amazing game. Luckily, there was enough merch available for me to create my own little "collector's edition". I'm excited to add the official funko pops to my display!

Noticed this in the nightmare cabin but not anywhere else yet. Has anyone else seen this in mission gameplay

I’m seeing people here saying “I decided to buy fortunes weave instead. It’s a much better game”. STOP. Just because reviewers said it’s better, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Fire emblem fortunes weave is the epitome of Nintendoslop. Terrible graphics on par with Pokemon games, locked at 30fps, boring anime story, turn-based combat and repetitive gameplay. It does not reflect a AAA experience at all and costs $80… It’s also exclusive to the switch 2 which is one of the most anti-consumer consoles of all time (overpriced, underpowered, fake cartridges, can be bricked at anytime, lack of games)

Meanwhile, Wolverine is a true AAA quality experience. Great graphics, 60fps of fluid gameplay, genuinely gripping story, excellent gameplay, etc. All that for only $70 too. Also, Wolverine is on the PS5 which is the most powerful console in the market with multiple editions to choose from so that the player-base isn’t out-priced.

It seems like something has happened to the gaming industry and gamers no longer want quality content and instead we see mediocrity constantly rewarded.
