Wolverine reviews question combat depth ahead of September 15 release

Early reviews of Marvel’s Wolverine praise its spectacle but disagree over its story, with combat depth and limited exploration emerging as concerns.

Marvel’s Wolverine has reached reviewers ahead of its September 15 PS5 release, and the first verdicts give prospective players more to consider than the launch trailer. GamesRadar+ reviewer Leon Hurley found the adventure underwhelming, criticising its uneven story and combat progression. He singled out the Tokyo

section for more engaging exploration, while finding much of the surrounding campaign thin. TechRadar’s Matt Cabral was more enthusiastic about the spectacle, violent action and emotional narrative. His review nevertheless also criticised shallow progression, restricted exploration and a shortage of worthwhile optional

activities. The disagreement over the story matters: these reviews do not establish a unanimous verdict. Their overlapping reservations concern how much variety and mechanical depth sustain the action beyond its presentation. This is a summary of published criticism, not a Mythscribe hands-on review or a report of

post-launch player reception. The game has not yet reached its September 15 release date. Readers avoiding story details can use the spoiler-conscious overview here and leave the full reviews until later.
