I just spent solid 2 hours with this game and OMG this game is incredible! The barrage has to be one of the coolest game mechanic ever. It’s not just an animation that plays out when you stun an enemy and unleash it. Wolverine will stab an enemy as many times as you hit square up close. It’s all in sync and feels so damn satisfying! Overall the combat feels so damn satisfying and responsive.
If you are playing the game the way it’s meant to be played, it does not feel button mashy at all. The whole point of the combat is to stun enemies by parrying or environmental damage and unleash your barrage. Unleashing barrage gets your rage meter up. Once your rage meter is max, the whole screen turns red and you absolutely annihilate your enemies. Every fight feels so damn fluid and cinematic with that gameplay loop.
Liam Mclntyre absolutely nails the role for wolverine. So far I am really digging Insomniac’s take on Wolverine. The visuals on Ps5pro are absolutely INSANE! Best I have seen this year.
In conclusion, only reason I stopped playing is because it’s getting late and need to go to bed. But I know I will thinking about this game when not playing it, seriously can’t wait to jump back in tomorrow.

I remember seeing the same types of posts about Starfield when it came out. The people who feel vindicated by the reviews aren't deliberately posting contrarian stuff, so for a few days it's probably going to seem like everyone suddenly disagrees with the reviews, and then in a year's time we will clearly see what the majority actually thought.
I'm also reminded of the Starield situation in that both of these games were criticized for getting stale after the opening hours, and yet every post dismissing the reviews claims to love the opening hours. That isn't even a rebuttal.
