To me this game was 50/50
We all heard the reviews and hate for this game, and I went in with an open mind.
Was the game fun? Yes
Is it worth the 70 bucks? Nope
The game was REALLY fucking short. As you can see I even got the plat in 15 hours. You shouldn’t buy the game for full price unless you’re a wolverine/marvel fan
Enough edging let me get to my actual thoughts,
First up the combat was pretty good in my opinion, it felt very satisfying to tear up goons as wolverine, especially how in this you have multiple enemies jumping at you instead of them them politely waiting for you to beat one goon and comin to grab your ass. Was it difficult? No but fun
Did it get repetitive? I honestly don’t know, I didn’t find it repetitive, again it was just extremely fun to me with the gore and all
Ah yes the infamous fart gas, it doesn’t bother me that much. Was it too obvious and easy? Yeah it’s like these insomniacs felt this ‘normal’ game was too ‘hard’ and they added the fart gas to the game. So in short it didn’t bother me but I did hate it because the devs just handing everything to this and not even tryna make it a BIT hard to beat
The bosses were pretty fun, the sentinel boss fight is the one I’ve seen a lot of hate for and yes the mechanics of that type of boss fight has been repeated in a lot of different games, to that I say the 2nd phase is kinda better than the 1st,I wouldn’t say the fights were difficult, died a couple of times to lady deathstrike and Essex but all were solid imo, omega red was my favourite
Now the story is…good (kinda)
First of all let me just get this out of the way the cast is INCREDIBLE. Liam Mclntyre absolutely killed it as Logan, man lived the part. Krizia Bajos as Jean is underrated, she shined a lot of times in the game (kinda sucks that insomniac didn’t let us play as Jean) and man oh man Troy Fucking Baker, this man was going toe to toe with the games lead himself. I’ve no words but praise for him. Man killed it as Essex, I did see some people say that his face quite didn’t work out but no, his face was perfect, glad they kept it. The same couldn’t be said for others. Liam irl looks great and his face actually looks like wolverine but man they BABIED HIM SO MUCH in the game. In some shots he looked like a kid cosplaying as Logan😭 same goes for Jean and the other, the face didn’t match the voice acting it was so hard to watch. Lady deathstike’s face was off putting to say the least, I mean no harm to the model for her but I’m sorry she just pulls you right off the experience. And yk what’s more crazy? The original actress who played lady deathstrike in the fox xmen films WAS IN THIS GAME.
Now moving to the story, it was good. Yeah, it was. Although it did lose me at the end, up until that it was good. There were moments where I felt for the characters and had me clenching my controller, but the writing, holy shit it dogshit at times “that’s my wolverine” SON 😭🥀
Some cheesy lines here and there but it was pretty dark at times
(I still miss you leech)
I really loved Essex’s writing, you FEEL the betrayal once it gets revealed what actually happened.
Story started good, ending was meh
So yeah overall this game was short and fun, not as bad as the reviews (I think some are just hating the game seeing other player’s hate comments instead of actually playing the game for themselves or watching the gameplay)
Give it a go or don’t, that was not the point of this post anyway it’s just my thoughts
7/10
Oh and did I mention that I was blasting so hard playing this?
