We've played Wolverine and we have a lot to say. From its combat and much more, it's just not quite what we were hoping for after the sky-high bar set by the three excellent Spider-Man games that came…
Brian AltanoHostMax ScovilleHostThis is actually almost exactly five years to the date since this game was revealed.
Uh, they dropped the original reveal trailer where he's sitting at that bar on, uh, September 9th, 2021.
Uh, okay, so this is actually one of the more complicated, uh, feelings I've had about a first-party PlayStation game post l- uh, uh, you know, uh, post completing, rolling credits than I have in a while, because there were moments during this game where I was telling myself, "This is my favorite PlayStation exclusive of this generation." And, uh, then there were moments where I was really frustrated and, um, found myself a bit annoyed.
But I will say that, uh, this game has some really high highs and then some, you know, kind of annoying lows.
It, it feels like if we still got games like Uncharted 3, right? Like, this, this is a narrative-driven, single-player, action-adventure game starring a wisecracking guy who cr- you know, explores wide linear levels, uh, kills way more people than expected, and, uh, gets some cool collectibles.
I think you can probably roll cr- credits in, like, maybe 12, 13, 14 hours, depending on how much of the side stuff you do and go back and stuff like that.
Um, so I'm, I'm, I'm sort of welcoming this era of gaming back because it feels like something that we would've gotten a lot of out of PlayStation a while ago.
Um, the thing that I've kind of been hovering around is it feels like, for better and for worse, a really, really, really expensive 7 out of 10 game from 20 years ago.
Again, it's a, it's a fairly linear, uh, cinematic adventure with a mass murderer who nobody seems to have too much of a problem with all of his killing.
It's sort of like, "Oh, you rascal, you." Um, yeah, I mean, again, we went into this wanting to be really excited about it, really w- wanting really to like it.
