Early hands-on previews for Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine are broadly positive, suggesting the forthcoming PS5 exclusive could be a polished, cinematic superhero action game. Critics say it captures Wolverine’s brutal character effectively through direct combat and destructible environments, though several note that it does not appear to substantially reinvent the genre.

Unlike the more open structure of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Wolverine is described as a mostly linear, narrative-led adventure focused on Logan’s character. Its rage meter reportedly intensifies combat into a violent rampage, while the story will include Sabretooth, Mystique and Jean Grey; previews praise the execution but raise questions about combat variety across the full campaign.
