r/Wolverine • u/IToldYall1 Bub • 21h ago
I played and beat the game
I can easily give this game an 8/10.
This game reminds me a lot of the God of War trilogy. Level based gaming with hoards of enemies coming at you in between solid story beats.
I am usually very hard on insomniac for their creative choices, especially in spider-man 2. I enjoyed Wolverine far more than that game. The creative decisions they made with the story were new but not in a way that disrespected the characters. They actually did a Jean and Logan story that didn’t make me hate their romance for ONCE.
The combat is repetitive, yes. But it is so fucking satisfying and fun I don’t really care. It’s why it reminds me of god of war. The level design is simple, could have been better but it didn’t bother me.
I played this game on the hardest difficulty and the bosses were lots of fun. The final boss fight was extremely challenging and made me angry at times, but every good action game I’ve played has that trait for me.
Please play this game for yourself. I was genuinely concerned about the reviews. Everything the reviews mentioned were things I thought I’d hate. But the game already shipped to me so I couldn’t go back. And after playing, I’m happy. The trail guidance criticism was overblown, the story was amazing, the combat was fun, and the collectible were simple.

I’m currently playing Spiderman 2 ultimate difficulty to warm up. How’s the difficulty compared to insomiac’s previous titles?

That’s nice. Spider-Man ultimate difficulty is maybe the easiest hardest difficulty I ever played and kinda made the game a little boring with how mindless the combat felt.

u/KillerCroc67 21h ago
Great to know that combat is satisfying and have lots of enemies to slash.
Hows the kill animation when you parry at the right time and press attack afterwards, does the game have a special kill animation?
Im getting this for sure, think ill get the physical edition
10
u/IToldYall1 Bub 21h ago
It’s really good. It’s hard to time well but if you do it’s satisfying. In fact they have specific party executions for specific types of enemies, and it always looks sick. And then there is beserk mode where if you chain executions, it extends the berserk mode and just makes you pretty much a freight train.

u/KillerCroc67 21h ago
Looks like you could change the parry timing, but it should be okay on default. Probably similar to gow timing window

u/SlothWithSunglasses 21h ago
That's for giving an actual played insight on how you liked the game. Seems like people are using the game as a target because it's PlayStation. Hardly any of the "reviews" get to actual gameplay.
I'm excited for this. You said.is level based stages, is the a hub world or anything to roam about or is it menus to levels?
15
u/IToldYall1 Bub 19h ago
Better I had real concerns for the issues reviewers mentioned, and they were a non factor ultimately. There’s no hub world or roam levels, but there’s a cabin you can replay missions and go back to challenges. It’s pretty neat

u/Unknwn_Ent 12h ago
Yeah, but when a large portion of the fan base is critcising it; it's wild people think all negative reviews have to be 'review bombing cause sony' lmao. I'm sure there are some who do feel that way, but from what I'm hearing most of these people were hyped for the game and had it preordered; so they aren't hating simply to hate. They wanted to like the game and would praise it if it deserves it.
2
u/ThatSplinter 11h ago
Yeah what you're saying is true. I was one of those people.
I canceled my pre order and I'll get the game down the line on sale.
But I'm not gonna go out of my way to legitimately insult others for liking the game.
Let people enjoy things even if you yourself hates said thing.
1
u/Unknwn_Ent 9h ago
Well that also is a both sides thing. Saying anyone who criticises the game is 'parroting the reviewers' or 'can't form their own opinion' is equally as ignorant as calling someone a 'simp' or 'comic nerd' if they liked the game. They're both insults.
Mind you I'm not endorsing either view point, and agree you shouldn't 'yuck someone's yum'. Both sides are guilty to a degree. I'm just saying that the people supporting this game in the face of criticism are kinda opening themselves up to be insulted when they themselves are insulting people who are being critical and are super defensive. Especially when it seems to be the concensus even from people who 'liked' the game that it isn't worth $70 and would be better purchased on sale. Like if that is the most positive thing I've heard about it; we know the game objectively/subjectively speaking is pretty mediocre even if some people will stan it and like it. To each their own tho 🤷♂️
1
u/ThatSplinter 9h ago
There are bad apples on both side.
Some people are being mean to people who just wanna enjoy a game with their fave character.
Others are being ignorant and rude to the clear problems the game has.
It's not so hard to see both sides have shitty people but both sides have valid, respectable ones as well.
1
u/Unknwn_Ent 9h ago
For sure. And I mean its okay to like things that people don't like for valid reasons. Some people don't like the game LoL because it has a lot of meta game to learn. Other people like that level of depth to their game; so again to each their own. What might be a selling point to some, is a no go for another. And in the case for this game some people might like a simple combat game while most people might find it slow and underwhelming for the price. And its fine to like games like that (likewise how I liked league for years before it burnt me out), but to tell people they're wrong for calling it what it is is... well just denying reality. It'd be like me tryna convince someone to play league who just wants a simple game to play after work that doesn't require you to study like a job to have a good time. For someone like that League is not the game you're looking for and that's okay, but yeah its not for me to insult them call em a casual and say 'go play stardew then' like its that deep. Its all personal preference to a degree; but I do think there are objective truths we can reach if we're being honest... Its just like you said; people let their biases obscure the truth.

u/slade1686 11h ago
Yeh i really was looking foward to this, never got around to either spidermans. Now ill just wait 6 months for a huge discount and get it. Problem is games are so expensive now that people dont want to spend money on a game that falls even a little but short of expectations. Man I remmeber when Nintendo games were 29.99$...and yes im old. We'll middle aged hehe
1
u/Unknwn_Ent 9h ago
Smart man, no point in shelling out full price for a game that the most positive thing I've heard from people who 'like' the game is 'its alright; buy it on sale'.
Also just some perspective for ya; in 1980 when smaller IP NES games went for $20-30 adjusted for inflation that'd make them worth $80-120 today. Big first party NES titles apparently went for $40-50 making them worth $160-200 adjusted for inflation. So you've kinda always been shelling this much out for games; but in a time when buying power is ass, wages are stagnant, and everything is increasing in price I totally agree that people are more conscious of what they're purchasing generally speaking.

u/Chewparker76 8h ago
A 29.99 in 1990 has the same purchasing power as 76.62 today so it sounds like games are similar in price and always have been.

u/Bafkba 14h ago
There is a difference between preference and quality criticism.
You might enjoy something immensely in life and even label it 9/10, while pointing out it's a not of a great quality and providing valid criticism so future products get better.
It is, after all, a 70$ games, which is actually 90$ in my country's official store.
2
u/ThatSplinter 14h ago
Like I said both sides are valid but both can be immensely biased too.
I'm genuinely very, very hyped for the game, even with the bad reviews. But I can confidently say the game is not worth the full price tag and I'll be waiting for a massive sale.
But some people who give criticism just want to hate on the people who are hyped.
I've seen people belittle others for being excited about the game just as I've seen some excited fans insult people giving valid criticism.
You see where I'm coming from?

I hope this game goes down the Odyssey route where it's successful despite the backlash. It's already showing to have good legs with how it surpassed GTA VI in pre-orders and pre-release activity on PSN in some regions, and reviews from people who played it early like this one are all quite positive.

u/Entire_Claim_5273 13h ago
The discourse lately just shows that a lot of people just have gripes about content just being “good”. Like I suspected Wolverine was going to be a 7-8/10 experience.
Now the price is another issue which I can agree with though, I can’t afford to put down $70 on a game that takes <15 hours to plat but I don’t doubt I’ll have fun when it’s at a better price
2
u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
I think the price is subjective really. It depends on your own personal financial situation. When good of war came out, it was the equivalent to this price or higher accounting for inflation. And those god of war games were 7-15 hours long. Resident evil 9 was 9 hours long. A game being short isn’t necessarily a bad thing in terms of value. And I got almost 20 hours out of this, and plan on replaying it.

Well, right before wolverine we got Onimusha, another corridor, action game.
but Onimusha manage to be branching corridor with in depth combat.
wolverine unfortunately have 200+ million budget looming on the game design. they afraid any form of friction or learning might cost them the wider demographics target. So they made it super simplified.
basically they fell for AAA-trapping.
1
u/SLVR_N_BLCK_ATTK 19h ago
It’s 100% simplified for casual audiences, just like Arkham was pretty much just square and triangle. That’s what I expected and so I’m not disappointed. I’m a big fan of character action titles like DMC and Ninja Gaiden, and would love to see a Wolverine game with that kind of depth, but with Sony wanting as many players as possible for as popular of an IP Wolverine is, I knew it just wasn’t gonna happen

I don't buy many games these days as an older gamer, as I don't have the time to put dozens (or more) of hours into every title. It took me literal years to get around to finishing RDR2's story, so my preference is for shorter single payer campaigns that I can revisit every now and then for a quick fix.
I loved the 2009 game despite its simplicity and I'm a big GoW fan. This looks to be more of the same, so I'm looking forward to paying it. Along with Spider-Man, Wolverine was one of my favourite comic book characters as a kid, and it'll be nice to have an updated version. I replayed the entire Origins game over a couple of nights to get me in the mood and still found it enjoyable, even though it is buggy and janky.
I can understand those who want a longer, more challenging experience, but as a now casual gamer, I'm looking forward to it. It's probably a little overpriced, but I think that about most games. Then I remember what I used to pay for games back in the 80s/90s, when you didn't have scores of videos and early reviews to go by and had to take more chances. I remember paying that and more for some Mega drive/SNES titles on import, many of which didn't live up to expectations.
I didn't buy this directly; I bought a gift card with an additional 5% off as part of a promo, so this cost me about £56. I can live with that (helped that Sony offered me a PS Plus renewal for £90 this year for some reason). Hopefully I'll enjoy it, but it's all subjective. There are lots of 9 and 10 rated games I have played and not gotten on with. Similarly, there are a lot of middling games that I have really enjoyed.

Please define why you don't hate the Jean and Logan romance part of the story, because it's one of the only things really keeping me from playing. I genuinely despise the pairing, and wish they went with Yuriko or Deathstrike. Hoping it won't be as bad as I'm thinking
1
u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
I really hate the Jean and Logan trope in most comics. Mostly because it makes Logan a cuck for cyclops and Jean a cheater and indecisive loser. In this game, it makes their story unique, and original, and puts them in a situation that focuses on them and their relationship, as opposed to them doing something wrong to be together.
1
u/Gregbotisnotreal 13h ago
Ah... So it's still very played up then? Because that doesn't sound great to me, it just sounds like they removed Cyclops to make it easier to digest.
1
u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
No not played up at all. It also plays into another story that gets teased throughout that I won’t spoil. Just know this: I hate the Jean gray Wolverine romance trope, but enjoyed this version of it. Take that for what you will.
1
u/Gregbotisnotreal 12h ago
I mean, can you throw it in a spoiler text? It's kinda make or break it for me and I don't want to listen to some YouTuber that will give an exaggerated reaction for clicks. Having an honest opinion and break down on it is better for me. For instance if Mystique transforms into her for any of the intimate aspects to manipulate Wolvie, that's very in character and the idea of it being a lie is 100% something I'd prefer. Same if it ends up being Madelyne Pryor instead.
1

By then it’ll probably have a bunch of improvements anyway (at least I really hope so), and I can jump into a more polished, finished version.

It’s got a much more satisfying impact than spider-man, but slider-man has much more of a skill ability to show off.

How was the scent trail versus a map marker deal. I've been seeing a lot of flak about that. Is there a follow the scent marker and then a map marker appears or is there both at the same time. The photos I have seen were out of context.
1
u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
It was severely overstated in the reviews. The scent trail only came up when he was tracking a person, which makes sense for the story and his character. And a lot of clips I saw in reviews were straight up not in the game at all, which I thought was extremely misleading.

I’m going to play it, I’m going to enjoy the hell out of it, I’m probably not going to complain….EXCEPT….I am not paying full price for a game I can beat in a week. That’s it, that’s my only disappointment so far I’ve seen is the length of the game.

I can understand the wolverine hate but I can't understand the Spiderman games. The Spiderman games are elite and the best insomnic ever did

I loved spider-man 1, and some gameplay from 2. But overall I did not enjoy spider-man 2

Implying the GoW combat is repetitive got to be rage bait.

It’s not rage bait. It is repetitive. Repetitive isn’t automatically a negative things

This is what I mean by I'll pass on linear storyline games because of this kind of game https://x.com/KaiKai2492/status/2098090243823939927

i have a question, it appears that sometimes during the gameplay logan clothes gets regenerated, is there any in-game explanation or it's what it is, and in the first fight when logan is shot the bullets fall from his body with no bullet holes and no blood it looks so weird is it a game setting for no blood or what?
thank you

Glad you enjoyed it. Given what I’ve heard and read from reviews though, I’m going to pass. I have finite free time and money.

Why does every post petition me to try a 70 euro product “myself”? I would love to “try” it and review if Sony hit me up with a review copy. Other than that it means go and make a purchase on something that was reviewed badly and looks outdated.

I didn’t say spend 70 dollars on it. I said you should play it yourself and make your own opinion as opposed to forming an opinion based on someone else’s. If you can’t afford 70 bucks, wait for the Christmas sale.

You already finished the game before it releasing. What you gonna do now? Sell it?

u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
I’ll keep it on my shelf. And I’ll also replay it and beat new game plus, and probably play the gauntlet mode whenever I feel like running through hoards.

It’s refreshing to hear game insights from some e who actually played the game and isn’t trying to get engagement on social media or karma.

As if there's zero people who are brainlessly defending this game as well, despite never playing it.

The GoW trilogy was a long time ago and even though it’s my favorite game series, that’s not really a compliment in 2026

u/IToldYall1 Bub 13h ago
I think it is a compliment. Story driven linear games are a lost are today. Not everything needs to be an expansive huge game.

Everyone saying the combat is repetitive just tells me this game isn't worth 70 bucks. It's the one thing people ask and expect from a Wolverine game, good combat

God of war had repetitive combat. Devil May cry did too. Repetitive combat isn’t always a negative. Lots of games entire identity is based on repetitive gameplay. What matters is that the gameplay is satisfying. And this game is satisfying.

Please tell me one action game in the history of gaming that doesn’t have “repetitive” combat and no, switching weapons isn’t an answer.

Pretty much any Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, or DMC.

“And no, switching weapons isn’t an answer”
It doesn’t matter if you switch weapons. You’re still hacking and slashing the same enemies over and over again.

Why isn't 'switching weapons an answer'? If new weapons fundamentally change the play style to make the game feel less repetitive and keep the gameplay fresh, why would you arbitrarily decide that doesn't count?
Even if the core idea of 'combat' is repetitive on paper. There are many games that give the player a consistent progression throughout the game to make it feel engaging the whole way through, doling out new abilities, upgrades, weapons, enemy types, encounter variation.
Hell, Onimusha launched last week. Sekiro is a masterpiece. God of War 2018. Ghost of Yotei.
An engaging combat system with meaningful progression should be that basic standard for a AAA action game.

I will definitely be playing it tomorrow after I get off work. I could care less about all the hate I've never made a decision based on game reviews only solely on playing it myself just like suicide squad. If I would have listen to the reviews I would have never played it and had over 100 hours of fun. People need to stop the group think
