Marvel's Wolverine review: A slick but forgettable PS5 action game

Tom's Guide's review of Marvel's Wolverine, a PS5 exclusive launching September 15, 2026, concludes the 15-hour campaign is a visually impressive but ultimately forgettable action game with repetitive combat. The review scores it as a slick blockbuster lacking lasting substance. The game features extremely violent combat true to the character, an original comic book story with a Wolverine-Jean Grey romance, and strong PS5 Pro visuals. However, repetitive light and heavy attacks, predictable bosses, and unnecessary stealth sections diminish the experience, with the reviewer noting the gore's novelty fades quickly. Technical issues, including several hard crashes during boss fights, further mar the experience. While optional Nightmare Door challenges and traversal sections offer some variety, the review states the game hits expected AAA beats without carving out a unique identity, leaving little motivation to return after completion.
