Wolverine Game Reviews Break Insomniac’s Marvel Streak With Lowest Metacritic Score Yet

  • Marvel's Wolverine has become the lowest-rated title from PlayStation Studios in the console's six years, currently holding a 77 Metascore.
  • With 106 reviews, the game sits well below the 94 Metascore held by God of War: Ragnarok, illustrating Sony's exceptionally high standard for in-house productions.
  • YouTube critic Ralph Panebianco labeled the design "obnoxious," while Polygon's Giovanni Colantonio called it "the biggest disappointment of the PS5 era."
  • Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell praised Logan's characterization as "openly vulnerable, emotive, apologetic, kind," though many reviewers argue the $70 price tag is difficult to justify.
  • The title launches exclusively on PS5 on September 15, serving as a structural throwback to linear action games that some critics feel struggles to modernize.
