Marvel's Wolverine review - Logan's puppy-dog charm carries an otherwise uninspired take on the old-school linear action formula
Marvel's Wolverine is an otherwise uninspired take on the old-school linear action formula, with its main saving grace being the charming characterization of Logan, brought to life by Liam McIntyre. While the combat mechanics are repetitive and the linear design feels dated, the game's narrative and character work, particularly Wolverine's unexpected vulnerability, offer moments of genuine humanity. Despite its flaws, the game is deemed 'fine' due to its sincerity and the inherent appeal of the X-Men universe.
