Reviews for Marvel's Wolverine so far

The review embargo for Marvel's Wolverine lifted at 4pm BST today. Several media outlets have published their thoughts after spending two weeks with the game. The early Metacritic score is listed as 77, which is lower than some of Insomniac's previous games.

Radio Times Gaming awarded the game four stars, saying: "Insomniac Games are the best at what they do, and what they do is cinematic action-adventure games with great combat. If that's what you're looking for from Marvel's Wolverine, that is exactly what you'll get."

IGN awarded it a 6/10, writing: "Just like its hero's adamantium core, Marvel's Wolverine is built of sturdy stuff – it just fails to layer something special atop its initially satisfying action, which wears thin well before the conclusion as a result." Eurogamer also gave it a 6/10, saying: "Wolverine's characterisation is a bright spot in this otherwise underwhelming, old-school romp that reminds us how far action games have come."
