Marvel’s Wolverine is launching to disappointing reviews

Reviews for Marvel’s Wolverine have gone live, and early impressions suggest the long wait hasn’t quite paid off. While the game delivers strong combat and polished cinematics, critics say the overall experience is held back by highly linear design, repetitive encounters and a UI that refuses to let players get lost.

Marvel’s Wolverine is currently sitting at a 77 on Metacritic and an 81 on OpenCritic. As usual, these numbers will shift as more outlets publish reviews, and there are no user scores yet with the game still a week away from release.
