Marvel's Wolverine review
PlayStation 5; Insomniac Games Logan is well realised by Liam McIntyre and some exquisite character art, but there are lapses in narrative and emotional arcs and some of the combat feels like a chore
TL;DR
- Liam McIntyre delivers a strong performance as Logan, supported by excellent character art.
- The game's narrative and emotional arcs have noticeable flaws.
- Combat mechanics are initially satisfying but become repetitive and feel like a chore.
- The game world is largely linear, contrasting with the open environments of the Spider-Man titles.
- Logan's character is well-developed, showcasing both brutality and vulnerability.
- The portrayal of past trauma and PTSD through mini-challenges is questioned.
- Despite its polish, the combat doesn't match the depth of other brawlers or the joy of Spider-Man.
- The game is a visually appealing hack-em-up that will appeal to fans looking for action and Easter eggs.
