Insomniac Games are heroes to PlayStation fans in multiple ways. For one, they cracked the superhero code, delivering one of the best superhero games ever made with Marvel's Spider-Man. For the PS5 generation, the studio has been the most consistent developer in PlayStation's wheelhouse, putting out three games between 2020-2023. Now, Insomniac is hoping to notch another win in the hero column with Marvel's Wolverine.
A new superhero title and the studio's fourth PS5 release, there are high expectations for Marvel's Wolverine. A hero nearly as iconic and beloved as Spider-Man, Wolverine is beloved for different reasons. Bloody, visceral, and violent, this isn't the same T-rated style of game Spider-Man and its sequels are. Does Insomniac Games deliver another stunning superhero game on par or better than Marvel's Spider-Man, or, like Logan's amnesia, is Marvel's Wolverine best forgotten?
Marvel's Wolverine follows Logan as he rejoins the mutant task force, Team X, in their darkest hour. Bolivar Trask, in his fanatical belief that humans are superior, is kidnapping mutants for unspecified reasons. Having given up the mantle of Wolverine three years prior, Logan agrees to return for one final mission to save mutantkind. Little does he know he's about to become embroiled in a globe-trotting conspiracy that threatens both humans and mutants alike.
Insomniac Games have always found strong success in crafting plots that explore what it means to be the hero. All three Spider-Man games excelled at exploring Peter Parker and Miles Morales, using their villains to draw powerful foils. So, it shouldn't be surprising that Insomniac Games does the same for Logan, and it might be their best work yet.
Marvel's Wolverine is a deep, highly personal, and emotional story that weaves together familiar comic elements with original storytelling to deliver a powerful narrative. The overarching plot is excellent, delivering thrills, twists, and exciting turns that make it difficult to put the controller down.
At the heart of the story is Logan, a broken man who, simply put, is looking for his family. Broken and lonely at the start, Insomniac Games delivers a stellar character arc that unfolds beautifully. Much of this is thanks to Liam McIntyre's performance, which is on par or better than Hugh Jackman's legendary run as the character. You'll laugh, you'll tear up, and you'll cheer all the way to the credits.
Helping the narrative is the wonderful cast of allies and villains, each representing a different side of Wolverine. Jean Grey arrives in time to show Logan he can be a hero, Mystique showcases the dangers of clinging to loved ones too tightly, and Sabretooth serves as what Logan could become if he truly lost control. They're all well-written characters that further flesh out Logan and contribute to the narrative.
Probably the best part of the narrative is how coherent and consistent it remains throughout. Previous Insomniac Games titles tended to follow a troubling pattern, as in Act 1 and 2 tell a specific story and then Act 3 throws in a new plotline that feels rushed. Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 were both guilty of this, side-tracking their main plots for the rushed Sinister Six and Symbiote Invasion final acts, respectively. Marvel's Wolverine doesn't do this, instead creating one long, consistent plot that is strong and engrossing from start-to-finish.
