This game sucks.

The combat is so shallow, there is no room for creativity. You parry, you stun, you barrage, you special attack. Over and over again. Any variety in combat comes solely from the combat finishers. Granted there’s a good amount of those, but you have zero say in what finisher animation you’ll even get. It’s totally random.

The level design is incredibly linear. There’s absolutely zero exploration, which is fine in character action/hack and slash games, but again, the combat is not complex enough to warrant such linear levels. Devil May Cry this is not.

The only side content are “nightmare doors”. These provide 2 kinds of challenges. Traversal and, you guessed it, more fucking shallow combat. There’s not even any traversal tools. No double jump, no wall running, no air dodging, nothing. The traversal “challenges” amount to holding the sprint button and just hitting jump as Wolverine magnetizes to the nearest zipline or ledge

The skill tree is also so incredibly basic, I don’t even know why it exists. Skills gradually unlock throughout the story, and so there were many times I had skill points to use but literally couldn’t even spend them because I had already unlocked all available skills, and needed to wait to advance the story to unlock more skills.

Then there’s adaptations. A tree where you can unlock and equip a set amount of passive abilities . I honestly don’t have much to speak on that, because they’re so fucking pointless I forget their existence about halfway through the game.

All collectibles, and “hidden” chests, stare you right in the face, you can’t miss them even if you tried.

I will say though, the story was pretty good, and I thought the actors knocked their performances out of the park, but nowhere close to being good enough to redeem this game.

Bottom line, this is the first Insomniac game I have been disappointed by, and I’m old enough to remember playing Spyro on the PS1. I mean, massive disappointment.

This game sucks.

How exactly does the "try" part work? There is no demo, there is no refund after trying. Am i really only allowed to have an opinion AFTER spending $70?

So apparently i can't have opinion after trailers, or gameplay reveal, or even after reviews, hell you are not allowed to have opinion after watching game streams. How very convenient for the companies that the narrative here is that you either spend $70 or shut up.

If the companies don't want customers to fall for unjust "hate brigades", why not give us option to try? Oh right, because customer who made a bad purchase is more likely to cope with it and seek validation than admit the mistake.

Star Wars, Suicide Squad, Death Stranding 2 and now Wolverine

I understand why people say not to preorder now.

This game literally costs 3x Spider-Man ps4. The game that’s regarded the best of their work. Open world, an amazing story experience with dlc post launch. What the hell are they genuinely doing with the rest of the money?

I'm so glad she clarified this and called out the devs for doing this. She's completely right, whats the point of making your characters look like celebrities.

Respectfully, what are you smoking if you think im gonna pay $70 for below mid.

Games like this need to stop being bought because why is the bar so low at this point but the price for games are going up every few years.

Also come on it takes insomniac like 5 years to make this thing.

Boring levels

Boring characters not to mention some aren't even like there comic counterparts cough Sabretooth

Boring story which is what gonna lead to a game not coming out till 2030 or later

Less then 20 hours to complete, so why the $70 price tag

Insomniac really made the first Spider-Man game and thought yeah we're basically the new Rocksteady they'll buy anything.

All bias aside, you have to admit that the faces and facial expressions in this game just look straight up weird. This is Logan supposedly being horribly hurt by being stabbed by multiple sword, he seems to like it ngl

Insane how handholdy this game is turning out to be

Just wanted to take out the sniper then go back and kill the grunts below...not allowed. 😭

I don't get why Insomniac stopped working with comic book creators to plan our their narratives. It worked wonders with Spider-Man 1 (Christos Gage and Dan Slott) and Miles (Evan Narcisse).

The narrative in Spider-Man 2 and now this seem to be among their most common points of criticism and it comes down to the Insomniac writers room just dropping the ball and not fully understanding the characters and lore they are working with and overall having a lot of storytelling and pacing issues.
