So, another Wolverine game. Because we just can’t get enough of clawed mutants ripping through bad guys like they’re tissue paper. Isn’t it just delightful to see more and more superhero games shoved down our throats? I mean, who doesn’t love another option to play as another guy with anger issues and sharp fingers? Look, Logan’s been doing this gig for years now. It’s not like we need another reminder that he heals faster than most smartphones can load a page. But sure, let’s keep rehashing the same stuff.
And then there’s the “gritty, violent combat.” Really? Are we supposed to clap because the blood looks so lifelike on his adamantium claws? We get it; he’s tough. He’s got anger management problems, and his fashion sense stuck in the early 2000s. But of course, let’s market this as some groundbreaking experience when it’s essentially a movie you control where you stab people and watch him regenerate wounds that would take a normal person weeks, if not more, to recover from.
It’s like they ran out of ideas and decided to go back to good old reliable: let’s fight the world one snarl at a time. Honestly, if I wanted endless violence with a side of gruff redemption arc, I’d watch professional wrestling. I’m done.
