Wolverine review roundup: Frankly, we're starting to feel a little better about the whole 'PlayStation 5 exclusive' thing

Wolverine review roundup: Frankly, we're starting to feel a little better about the whole 'PlayStation 5 exclusive' thing The new Wolverine game is fine, but it's definitely not the best there is at what it does. "Missing that crucial X-factor" GamesRadar: 3/5 GR's Leon Hurley says Wolverine's mid-game feels like the game Insomniac wanted to make: "It's lively, layered, and just a fun place to be." Alas, "the rest of the game feels thin, and largely consists of boxy corridors that top and tail Tokyo with shallow combat luges broken up by cutscene checkpoints and little else." "Good character work props up flashy combat that wears thin over time" IGN: 6/10 Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. "A gripping, emotional bloodbath" DualShockers: 8.5/10 Christian Bognar provided one of the more upbeat takes on Wolverine for DualShockers, writing that Insomniac's portrayal of the character is "a success," thanks to its "deeply personal story that explores what it means to live with trauma, loss, and regret." Christian also felt the combat in Wolverine was a step up from that of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man game, despite lacking Spidey's "freedom and versatility." "Relentless momentum" GameInformer: 8.5/10 GI's Matt Miller is clearly a fan, writing that "the high speed, brutal slashing, and unstoppable force of Wolverine are captured better than any film or game to come before." And where many other reviews found the game wore thin before its conclusion, calling it "an intense and unrelenting ride" that "doesn't wear out its welcome." "Marvel's Wolverine's claw-fueled combat doesn't feel as deep as its systems suggest, but that didn't stop me from grinning ear to ear carving through its lengthy campaign" TechRadar: 4/5 Writing for TechRadar, review Matt Cabral said Wolverine's fighting mechanics "suffer from a lack of meaningful depth," but praised the game's production values: "Supported by visceral, varied, and extremely violent melee combat, this set-piece-packed, cinema-rivaling spectacle puts you behind the claws – and mutton chops – of the fan-favorite superhero like never before." "Only aims as high as its stout hero" GameSpot: 6/10 Tamoor Hussain declared in his take for GameSpot that Wolverine is "a fun but forgettable experience that’ll entertain you for a few hours." But it also demonstrates the limitations of the character himself, especially when compared to the open world and energetic dynamism of the studio's previous Spider-Man games: "Wolverine might be the best at what he does, but what he does hasn’t let Insomniac’s developers be the best at what they do." "Uninspired gameplay leaves Logan feeling declawed despite a strong narrative: VGC: 3/5 Like many other reviewers, VGC's Jordan Middler enjoyed Wolverine's characters and story, but found everything the game's "tightly crafted and emotive story moments" to be lacking. Turns out, it often doesn’t." And a few unscored reviews, just for fun: The Verge says "Wolverine’s bloodthirsty focus on action is something that makes it stand out," Kotaku called it "refreshing in its straightforward focus" but also "stagnant," and Polygon pulled no punches, calling Wolverine "the biggest disappointment of the PS5 era." 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
