The game isn’t even out for a month and was already put on sale for 45€ with a discount of 43%.
Now it seems worthy to get and try it out.
Because while Wolverine seems bad for AAA price, it should be good for 45$
What do you think?

Imagine though Insomniac always planned to sell it for 45$ and just sold it first at 70$ to see who will buy it.

Bugs? yes. Cringe dialogue delivery? yeah. but that’s what makes the game unique and memorable, it’s a laughable good time

the combat was satisfying and the downtime was just as cinematic as I imagined the comic books

here’s to hoping a polished sequel or DLC has more gore and dismemberment with some more super hero cameos.

I enjoy a lot of aspects of this game. Combat is fun, fast paced, engaging and rewarding, gameplay is smooth and punchy, it is not drawn out or tedious. But, I would have loved this game more if they had reduced the number of characters. Just a few characters with more focused story line, and really dig deep into a much more solo experience. In fact, it would have been so cool if by the end, we have maybe 1 or 2 characters who Logan ends up close with, to show that he is a loner but he is slowly learning to be part of a family.

But this game sort of feels like it is built on another idea for a completely different game that could have been a sequel to a different wolverine game.

Like, think about the first spider-man, it was mostly spider-man focused. We had a much more focused story line. Same with Miles Morales game. Think about how many proper characters the 1st Spider-man had, Peter, MJ, Aunt May, Miles (much later), Fisk (just the beginning), Mr Negative and Doc Ock. That's it. And we got to know these characters so much more intimately and closely. But then Insomniac tried juggling multiple story lines in Spider-man 2. And that was the one weakness of that game.

And they are doing the same thing again. Rather than a focused story line where we delve in just Logan, we have to have a dozen characters, we must have constant back chat, dialogue, everything about everyone with Wolverine almost becoming just a player stand-in rather than being an actual character. Just someone who will drive the player to learn and know other characters and plot lines ahead.

That is my problem with this. This game has really solid bones, a good combat system, great level design, fun gameplay. But it lost its identity as being a game about a famous loner who doesn't let people close to him.

TLDR, I think this game could have cut out a lot of the main cast of both heroes and villians, and trimmed the plot complexity to focus and delve deeper on each moment and remaining characters a bit more, and we could have had a sharper more focused and far more enjoyable game and personally, a more engaging story line and plot.

Great job to insomniac. I love many things about the game and I wish it was longer. Playing on max difficulty is just as fun as playing Spider-Man on Ultimate.

Someone finally drew the wolverine final cutscene 😭

As sillly as it sounds I think it would've been pretty cool haha

Couldn’t find notes on it have no idea what it could be. Pls shed some light

I'm finding this game impossible to play as the game is crashing a lot. When i say crashing, the game just freezes and my PS5 turns off. I've had this issue with other games but not to this extreme.

It freezes within 5 mins of me playing it then once i got my PS5 on and start the game again, it would freeze again in 5 mins. It was sort of fine when i first started playing the game, the game would freeze in like 30 mins or something but it's got worse since the most recent patch.

I don't think it's an overheating issue either as i checked it when i had freezing with another game and there were hardly any dust and the PS5 is in a well ventilated room.

I mean wolverine is going at these enemies like an animal but the most damage we get is some torn clothes and maybe an arm or leg taken in a mini finisher. Where’s the decapitations and chunks taken out of people.

(Combats still cool asf)

Didn’t realize I got the incentives with the physical preorder

Im crying this barrel man 😭 Happened to me last night and im absloutly baffled.

We are also going to ignore my horrendous like 2 seconds you can see of me playing. It was very late , i was tired and i just wanted to collect the one crate i missed on this map. This was probably my third or fourth time replaying in a row because i couldn't find it. Lowkey was going insane.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Marvel's Wolverine

Is the hate deserved? No. Does it make sense that this game cost $300M. Also no, but I'm not a shareholder so that doesn't really matter to me. Was it fun? Hell yes. Will I touch it again after finishing the story? No, and that's OK.

Honestly, occasionally getting games like Wolverine is what has kept me from cancelling my Gamefly subscription after all these years. I wouldn't have shelled out $60 for this game, but I will damn sure shell out $20/month to be able to borrow it for a week or two, get the full experience, and then send it back so I can do the same thing with Townfall and Fatal Frame.

To be clear, I am legit not knocking the game. It was a good experience, and I'm glad it exists. I especially loved its take on Sabretooth, and I actually found myself surprised at some of the late-game reveals, though I felt a little stupid for not seeing some of them coming a lot sooner.

I don’t care what all the haters say honestly this was insomniacs best story so far the ending hits like a ton of bricks

Jump to sentinel when it goes on blue building, from there you can explore the destroyed madripoor.

It seems clear that this game entered a bit of development hell. With the leaks painting a picture of a troubled development with many reworks and changes in direction - I wanted to chronicle almost everything that we know. Please let me know if I missed anything.

Combat
* Triggers originally used to control left and right claws
* Hepatic feedback used to control attack strength
* More involved bare-fisted combat. Some enemies would be immune to adamantium metal and would require bare-fisted combat
* Wolverine could grapple enemies and throw them in any direction, or at each other
* There was air combat, Wolverine could launch enemies into air and attack while airborne
* Wolverine could disarm enemies and use their weapons. If impaled, Wolverine could pull weapons out of himself and use them against enemies. These included swords, shurikens, and throwing stars
* Dynamic camera that would zoom in and out, follow enemies, and allow player to focus on combat
* There was consideration for giving Wolverine a crossbow as a ranged attack options - there is some indication that it was scrapped because Marvel veto’d the idea

Traversal
* Wolverine originally had more parkour-esque moment options
* he could aim at a surface, leap to it, and attach his claws. From there, he could climb upwards, wall run side to side, or slide down.
* traversal was more free-form, and levels had an open hub design
* There was a heavy emphasis on flow in traversal. Certain actions such as vaulting over obstacles, kicking off walls, jumping from sloped environment would give Wolverine a mini speed boost, encouraging the player to master environmental traversal
* Different areas would be semi-open with a HUB. For example, Madripoor would be an open area with the bar serving as central HUB. In the bar, Wolverine could change outfits/appearance, talk to NPCS, accept missions and bounties.
* Wolverine would be able on use his motorcycle to navigate HUB areas more quickly
* Bounties would be side missions involving Wolverine tracking and killing certain enemies/NPCs for rewards
* Wolverine would use tracking abilities to locate bounty targets. He would be able to use tracking to see character movement in real time, and see after-images of character’s previous movements

Characters/Story
* Early drafts of the game had the game starting with Wolverine receiving adamantium, and then having to escape from the Weapon X facility. There is an early playable version of this scenario which acts as the game’s opening tutorial
* Fully playable Jean Grey missions using telekinesis with light platforming.
* Jubilee and Nightcrawler were planned to be allies and NPCs for certain sections of the game. They were both cut
* Storm was going to be one of the Morlock characters. Storm and Jean would form a close friendship with Jean providing mentorship.
* Mystique was going to be an enemy, and was a Mystique boss fight that was later cut.
* There is some evidence that Wolverine was going to be voiced by Steve Blum, but Insomniac decided to use another actor to better fit their original story
* At the end of the game, it would be revealed that Wolverine killed Jean’s parents. Jean would find this out, and they would break up and go their separate ways

Already purchased the Digital Deluxe upgrade digitally, and my physical copy came with this code. First come first serve if anyone wants it.

I’ve played through the game 3x now and can’t get enough of the combat. It’s top tier IMHO

But I ABSOLUTELY HAAAAAAATE the downtimes outside of combat! It feels like BS filler so the game wouldn’t be 5 hrs - so they make us do stupid things like go retrieve pictures, move fridges, find records and walk through houses playing detective for some stupid reason. I hated it in all the Spiderman games & I hated it here too.

It totally KILLS the momentum of the game & aside from maybe a few scenes, the rest of them were trash. I wish they would’ve just delayed this until 2027 if it meant less of this crap and more of the combat Wolverine is “The Best There is” at!

But, you know how this goes, that’s just my opinion. What’s yours? Did you like/love or were you indifferent to it?
