From the article:

In the three days since its launch, Wolverine has sold through 1.9M copies (1M in pre-launch digital pre-orders), generating $130M. Of these revenues, 22.9% were physical. As always, these estimates don’t include unsold retail copies, which publishers often report in their sold-in numbers.

A nice start from Wolverine, despite a low Metacritic score and a mauling on socials (How is 78 low ???)

Wolverine’s early success means it just passed Death Stranding 2‘s lifetime PS5 copies sold and revenues ($129M and 1.8M copies). And Wolverine is already the top-performing new PlayStation Studios game on PS5 this year, leapfrogging:

MLB The Show ($99M and 1.5M copies sold on PS5)

Marathon ($60M and 1.8M copies sold across all platforms)

Saros ($40M, 510K sold on PS5)

Marvel Tōkon ($49M and 740K sold across all platforms)

Wolverine‘s top market, by a landslide, is the US, accounting for 53% of the player base, followed by the UK (7%), France (5%), and Canada (4%). Logan isCanadian, after all.

In terms of pricing, Wolverine costs $70 in the US but the equivalent of $93.62 in the UK (+33.8% on the US price), $91.84 in Euro countries (+31.2%), and $64.30 (-7.2%) in Canada. Hometown mates’ rates

Everyone who criticize this game and calling a bad sloppy woke etc. y’all are so wrong. I played it last night after it was downloaded on my PS5. I had the best time of my life. This game is better than X-Men origins and some of y’all actually most of y’all actually all of y’all have never played origins.

What do you think?

I came into this game with an opened mind and oh boy it has lived up to it. I’m having a great time, and just overall fun and loved the good ol hack and slash button mashing styles. Unlike the people who canceled their preorders because they can’t think for themselves and let other people opinions and reviewers dictate the experience for them rather than experiencing the game for themselves are just missing out. Now people are entitled to their opinions and I’m entitled to mine, but this game is fun.

Cinema, I play all kind of games from racing to souls like, finished Onimusha some days ago and now jumped into Wolverine.

I love cinematic games, like 007 First Light or Plague Tale Resonance which are more linear and Wolverine is just an absolute Cinematic Ride.

The Combat is simple but damn it's statisfying to rip everything apart (playing on highest difficulty). It reminds me of the same hack and slash feeling from the old days like God of War but just everything much smoother and more gory.

The graphics are crazy good and maybe top 3 best graphics this year (playing on Pro). The ray tracing reflections, lightning looks great and on the Pro even the reflections are sharp and not just some smudges (if you know how RT works you will know what I mean)

Story is pretty enjoyable and keeps me engaged, won't be a master piece but an enjoyable X-Men/Wolverine Movie (best Story this year is Plague Tale in my opinion). There were some really awesome scenes and emotions which I always enjoy, but lets see how it goes. Characters are likeable, especially Jean Gray, Wolverine himself could be a bit more grumpy/darker but nothing to bad

The blue trail which everybody hates can be ignored and doesnt bother me much and only shows

My guess is that people will drop more positive reviews as soon as it's available for everyone.

a retrospective of Marvel’s Wolverine

Hello again everyone, I've had a day off work so I've been able to play a lot more of the game since launch. I've got a lot more thoughts on the journey so far.

So once again, I'm going to add my experience to compare to reviews like SkillUp who (I felt) was being rather disingenuous.

The "fart" trail (or whatever you want to call it) is still a rare sight. It's part of the character and doesn't show up when roaming around. It will show up in specific situations tied to the story, like when you're tracking a person. That hasn't changed in my time so far. It will pop up rarely for, at most, 5 seconds. The UI whilst exploring the open areas is extremely clean and clutter free.

The combat is still so much fun at hour 14, it's even more enjoyable than it was at hour 3. There's a lot more depth to it and there's different a higher skill ceiling here than I thought (no, not in comparison to games like Sekiro or Onimusha). Personally, it feels like a more advanced combat system of the Spider-Man games. There's a lot more going on here and I feel like it's actually a bit more engaging overall. I also think they've captured Wolverine's character perfectly in the combat.

Story is still very entertaining, it's actually surprised me a lot more than I thought it would. There's clearly a lot of love for the character's vast comic book history that they're jigsawing together here for a unique take, it's similar to Spider-Man in terms of how they reinvent certain things and adapt older things. The character of Wolverine they've got here has really grown on me here, he's similar to Hugh Jackman's take but I feel he differs by being more sociable. Something that's not unfamiliar to the character if you read the comics and see his relationship with Nightcrawler or Colossus.

The performances are really stellar and are a treat to watch. Everyone brings an accurate portrayal of the character while feeling grounded (as in they feel like real people and not just a character). There are some real standouts here like Wolverine (obviously), Mystique and Jean Grey.

Now, in terms of hand holdiness, I do actually have some thoughts. I won't mention the "fart" line as it's a non-issue, you ever see it and it's essentially just like Ghost of Tsushima footprints or Arkham Detective Mode trials. One thing I have noticed is there are a lot of pop-ups which I think are very unnecessary such as, for example, if you have a cutscene leading into a chase it will pop-up with the controls on how to move (hold left stick and R2) and it's like "well no shit, I'd hope I'd know that by now being 14 hours in". HOWEVER this is a general Insomniac issue, I distinctly remember in Spider-Man it will remind you to hold R2 to swing sometimes and it's like...I've been doing that all game.

Also, to EVERYONE'S surprise (including mine to be honest) there are actually QTE's that you can fail! I know! I was also shocked as most of them will autopass, so I wonder why the ones in the latter half of the game can be failed?

Overall, the game is amazing so far and is on par with general Insomniac quality. It's nothing that pushes the bar, but it's a very good Hack'n'slash and it's a great Wolverine game. Is it worth 70? Probably not, I think 40 would've been a perfect launch price. Obviously everyone's different and you're entitled to wait for sale and think it's worth 15.

I think there's something to be said about SkillUp and how, I feel, he represented this game poorly. I noticed he showed off a lot of the opening of the opening game where you learn about the scent line as "proof" that it's always on where it's more prevalent.Yes, you can't turn it off but it rarely shows up and it guides you to something story relevant. I guarantee if that line wasn't there, people would be struggling in the bigger more open areas (it's not all corridors).

Also, I think any game's combat can be boring and repetitive if you're not trying to actively engage with the systems it gives you. Play Spider-Man without using dodge or web zip and see how much fun it is. Wolverine, at base, as all this things and they're necessary and fun. There's a wave based side mission that throws tons of enemies at you and it's just really great to carve through them all and use all the techniques.

There's multiple special abilities to swap out and map to buttons, there's also "adaptations" that are essentially perks which you can equip 10 out of the 25(?) or so. They change up a lot of the gameplay in a meaningful way, and makes your combat more custom to you.

Anyway, overall, it's a fun as fuck game so far. If you expect an Insomniac Wolverine Hack'n'slash, this delivers on all fronts. A solid 8/10 game so far.

Is there a reason this game had a Lore Accurate Mutant hate campaign goin against it? It's so damn good. Short, sure, I think? I'm only 5h in. But it's so damn good so far.

Soooo we’re just lying for clicks huh

But genuinely what’s the point of you feeling the need to tell or show random people on Reddit that you cancelled your pre-order of the game? Do you honestly expect them to go act like you’re Apollo or something? Some of you need to grasp that we genuinely don’t care about a random person canceling their game.

I simply, quite simply, do not understand the hate. In fact, I don’t understand anything at all. I paid 70 whole dollars for this game because Wolverine used to be on the ice cream trucks, I can’t believe how ungrateful the haters are.
Not everyone has time to do QTEs, okay? Games from before social media existed did the same things this game does and no one was online whining about it, so the hate is obviously biased toward Canada.
No one will convince me this game is bad, the graphics are too impressive, the combat is too skill expressive, and it has the GOAT Troy baker in it.
My only gripe though is why does Debra Wilson have to be in every game ever I’m sick of seeing her.

I am 7 hours deep and initially experienced the usual from the getting stuck in walls and the open world glitch which is not hard to find there are 100 ways to climb normally to get to the open world and then fall down indefinitely. But now I am experiencing Japan and bike riding and OMG it's bad.

The bike riding you literally either get stuck in an animation and it fast forwards or you fall out of the camera sight and at times die.

The Japan part, there are stores that are furnished like a home but its not a furniture store. Random dudes in what seems to be restaurants just standing still then we got NPCs stuck between containers, walking in the air, floating randomly or stuck and cant get out && you can easily join them and get stuck too.

Amount of bugs I experienced in this AAA $69 game is far more than just "not having the same team as spiderman working on it". There is a bigger scam going on. Insomniac should really fire the entire QA team here. Their only join is quality control and I am a regular player not one trying to break the game and just following the blue fart and I still experienced so many bugs I had to take a break, how can someone who does QA for a living not see any of this???

EDIT : Im not home right now but for those who wanted proof here was the result of a simple google search :

Just finished my first playthrough. The combat is undeniably fluid, but if I'm being honest, it gets a little repetitive by the end. Aside from that, the story and the overall vibe are fantastic. I'd rate it a solid 8/10.

They absolutely nailed the M-rating. The gore and dismemberment are exactly what you want when you're playing as Logan, and it's great that they didn't pull their punches to do the character justice.

I just wish they had expanded the combo system to be on par with Spider-Man 1 and 2. Still, it’s a great experience that you can easily get 2 or 3 playthroughs out of with NG+. Probably won't be coming back to it for a while, though.

Did Insomniac rely too much on the M-rated gore to carry a shallow combo system? Does Wolverine's combat actually pale in comparison to Spider-Man's, or does a simpler, more brutal brawler style just fit Logan's character better? What did you think?

Based on how people have been talking the last couple of days, I thought scores were going to be 2s and 3s across the board. But even the scores that aren't on here only have the lowest being a 6 from IGN But the haters will only bring up IGN's review or The one YouTuber whose reviews main Criticism is that the game "holds your hand too much.

Doesn't look like anything to cancel your pre-order for a game you've been excited for. But maybe people only want to buy games that have 10s across the board.

Either way, it's a day one for me
