Wolverine review roundup: PS5 exclusive gets mixed reception

Insomniac's new Wolverine game has received mixed reviews, with critics praising its character work and story but criticizing repetitive combat, leaving it short of expectations for a major PlayStation 5 exclusive. Reviews range from 2.5/5 to 8.5/10, with common complaints about shallow, repetitive fighting and thin level design, while many praise Liam McIntyre's performance and the game's violent spectacle. Some outlets call it a "fun but forgettable experience," while others find it a gripping, emotional ride. The game's lukewarm reception adds to Sony's recent PR troubles, including the cancellation of Hideo Kojima's Physint and the end of physical disc production, though its exclusivity means many players can't judge it directly.
