Marvel’s Wolverine is launching to disappointing reviews
Early reviews for Marvel’s Wolverine indicate that while the game features strong combat and visuals, it suffers from linear level design and an overly intrusive UI. The game is set for a September 15th release as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
Why it matters
As a high-profile exclusive, the game's critical reception could influence Sony's future strategy regarding platform exclusivity and development investment.
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.
