Is PlayStation Losing Its Identity? Wolverine, Hellraiser Demo & Switch 2 Nyxi Joy-Cons

Now, the embargo was lifted for reviews of this game earlier, prior to launch, and people were quite surprised, including myself, that a major first-party Sony PlayStation exclusive title received mediocre scores.

So overall, it was like a 70%, or 7 out of 10, a lot of reviewers were giving it.

And...

For me, I wanted to go into it with an open mind, understanding the context of right now Sony's going through the mud where a lot of people are upset at PlayStation in regards to their stance on physical media.

And I think there was overall a lot of resentment with Sony subscription services as well, with the pricing of the PlayStation subscriptions like Premium, Extra and Essential.

creeping upward and the pricing of the console also going up.

There's some other business with it as well that we'll get into.

But anyways, I wanted to take that into consideration because I know that anytime Sony has posted anything on their social media, there is like either bots or a I guess, bringing down the reputation of Sony for that issue.

So I also assumed that a lot of reviewers would either be biased towards that or also realize that.

A lot of people will be bombing their reviews because it's related to first party PlayStation.

So I went I went playing it with an open mind.

I can tell you I was not a fan.

fan of the spider-man games that insomniac made i did enjoy the traversal like the movement and just the actual core gameplay the fighting mechanics and stuff but i just saw the story as being corny and there was a lot of repetition in the open world which a lot of open worlds have so i i believe i've only finished the first spider-man game and i played a little bit of miles morales but i never played through spider-man 2 which i heard a lot of um Issues I had with the Spider-Man series were addressed into.

So that's me going into it.

When I first saw the trailers for it, I was gung ho because if it seemed on paper, it seems like everything I wanted.

From the Spider-Man game, like a game that's focused on the fighting, less corny story and like like actual gore and blood, like more of a mature title playing it and a little bit more linear.

It wasn't open world.

It was more of a linear aspect to it.

Now, after playing through the game.

Overall.

I do agree with the reviews.

I would personally give it a 7 out of 10.

And unless you're a big fan of Marvel superheroes, especially if you're a big fan of Wolverine, I wouldn't recommend this game at full price.

it does seem like a game similar to the other Spider-Man titles that a game that I can see down the road like in a year deep discount sale as well as possibly being put onto PlayStation Plus services whether it be extra premium or just essentials just down the road and I think as a like a freebie copy maybe maybe once the playstation 6 comes out um that would probably make sense um well let's start with some positives i do it definitely is a showcase of uh the playstation 5's uh power especially the playstation 5 pro um it looks amazing the graphics are spot on with all the bells and whistles, um, on the PlayStation five pro runs at 60 frames.
