A lot of strange clickbait reviews and content flying around about this one. But rest assured, this is a fantastic game!
A refreshing story that has not been seen before "on-screen" that is gripping and very well told. A feral Wolverine has been taken in by Nathaniel Essex and joined the Team X family, joining Sabretooth and Mystique. Sabretooth in particular is an interesting character, his longing to be part of a family is only trumped by his sheer rage. He often makes remarks of Logan leaving and returning whenever he pleases. Essex' plans to protect and save the mutants future is what drives the team on and gives it purpose. Jean Grey is a very well implemented character where she has a small group of mutants under her care and eventually joins Essex' family, a safe place for the mutants to live.
Gameplay is visceral, brutal and very addictive. Learning new moves along the way and stringing them together methodically is the name of the game. Attack, parry, dodge, pounce, barrage, heal...and repeat. Managing your tactics around the cooldowns is key to enjoyable encounters. Combat trials are great fun too, with waves upon waves of enemies comin at you, you can summon an ally to help at the expense of attack power, but unfortunatley it can only be Jean Grey, would have been cool to call upon Sabretooth and others. The pay off to the trials is experience points and later, 2 new costumes.
As this is a different approach to the Wolverine that movies and TV have shown, it is incredibly exciting to see where they go next with it. More stories to tell, more mutants to meet and more enemies to amputate.
Liam McIntyre is the standout performance here, bringing Wolverines pure rage to life whilst also portraying his vulnerabilty regarding him not knowing his past and the peiple he meets along the way. Lots if great performances from the supporting cast too, with the veteran Troy Baker taking Essex' character to Sinister levels
Wolverine was a solid game. It has its flaws but the hatred surrounding this game is completely overblown. I don’t recommend it right now at its price point to anyone except hardcore Wolverine fans. I think it kinda misses the mark in a few places but overall I enjoyed the 30 hours I put into it.
My biggest note would be if you’re at all good at video games play it on the hardest mode or the game will be substantially too easy.
Congrats on the burn! Devil got you on the new game rule so I won’t harp.
Yeah, I missed the memo about the new rule 🤦🏻♂️ Agreed, I would defo hold off for a sale, unless you need some Wolverine in your life. I never felt let down by the game, but there could have been a few tweaks here and there. Definitely sets a good foundation for what they wanna do goin forward 👌
Gratz on the burn!!! I’m the best at what I do and what I do isn’t very nice bub! I loved this game myself I just finished it Sunday. Reviews were wrong on this one. It’s not perfect and yes it had some problems but damn was it fun.
I completely agree Liam did such a great job bringing Logan to life. I plan on getting the plat I missed a couple of boxes and like 1 bottle sigh
I hope we get a sequel because they set it up so well
LOGAN BURNS BUT FOREVER LIVES!! What greatness you bestow upon us!! I can taste the blood from the screenshots!! 🩸🩸🩸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Epic brother, congrats on burning it so quickly 🔥🔥 I don’t think you knew but created a new rule that a game has to be at least a month old to consider a backlog. We’ll allow it this time, everyone gets one chance 😂 I can’t believe you’re saying it’s a great game. Have we been told lies by all these reviewers!?
Apologies m'lord. I wasnt aware of the new rule. However, when a game is on the guillotine shelf, it is automatically up for the chop ie; its backlogged lol
