My thoughts, 25 hours finish
I rented the game. I only did one play-through. I unlocked all outfits except one, bc I was missing a few bottles. I was happy with my play through overall. I don’t go out of my way to chase platinum trophies anymore, so i decided not to go back to get the last few things I missed on my quick run through. 😅 idk if it’s the adhd getting worse with age or what. But it’s harder to get into watching every single cutscene in games these days. As soon as I saw I was able to skip the cutscenes I skipped a lot of them, as the story was boring and slow-paced at times. Then there were times when I was really into the scene.
The repetitiveness fights were boring at times. Games are repetive in nature, but it takes a special type of game to NOT MAKE IT FEEL like it’s repetitive. This is not that, IMO!
These fingers been gaming since 1990, they are tired and painful at times. This game had my fingers sore mashing the same couple combos. The only “hard” boss was Sabertooth, imo. The others could be a little aggy at times, but didn’t feel as challenging. Idc about that personally, I am not a sweat. I play purely for entertainment and relaxation. So that was fine with me.
I didn’t watch much gameplay prior to renting this. I just saw some of the online hate the game has gotten. Imo it wasn’t bad at all, especially once you get the combos x parry system timing down. Plus unlock more of the skills tree makes wolverine pretty op. Only times i died was jumping and missing the landing aka falling into the darkness!
I will say the game is definitely overpriced at retail, wait for a sale or rent it! If you like button-mashing games you probably will love this. I’m more into games with AMMO personally. But I like Wolverine the character. I still have my uncaged edition on ps3! I knew I would play this no matter what the reviews said. This would be fun on an arcade machine!
I give it a 6/10 overall.
