Marvel's Wolverine

The story

Logan thought he was done being Wolverine. Three years after leaving Team X, a mutant strike unit, he rejoins it as industrialist Bolivar Trask starts kidnapping mutants. The adventure takes in Canada, Japan and Madripoor, Marvel's fictional island nation (PlayStation.com). Logan is played by Liam McIntyre, with Troy Baker as Nathaniel Essex (VGC). Sabretooth and Mystique also appear (VGC), with Omega Red and Lady Deathstrike among the foes (Marvel.com).

Logan's relationship with Jean Grey comes up in almost every review: Jeuxvideo.com calls it "very successful", and TheGamer praises a "memorable and heartfelt" take on the pair. Eurogamer enjoys a Wolverine who is softer and more vulnerable than usual.

A linear adventure

It is not an open-world game (PlayStation FAQ). According to Jeuxvideo.com, missions mix action, a little stealth, linear and more open levels, and cutscenes. Optional "nightmare" trials combine combat and traversal challenges and award points. IGN enjoyed the wave-based variant, while Jeuxvideo.com found some of them badly placed in the pacing. Hidden crates unlock suits and claws inspired by the comics (Shacknews).

Reviews put the story at 12 to 16 hours (VGC, Wccftech, IGN, Jeuxvideo.com, Shacknews). IGN earned the platinum trophy in 20 hours. New Game Plus unlocks every ability plus four new "Adaptations" (Wccftech).

Combat

The melee combat is violent: claws, dodges, parries and lunges at distant enemies. You equip four abilities out of six (VGC). Opinions differ sharply. TheGamer, TheSixthAxis and Wccftech praise brutal, visceral fights, though Wccftech says they take a while to flourish. IGN, GamesRadar+, Eurogamer and VGC feel the combat barely evolves and becomes repetitive; Eurogamer cites "too many of the same enemies, dealt with in the same way, for too long".

Tech, languages and accessibility

On a standard PS5, Jeuxvideo.com played at 60 fps with ray tracing by default, with rare drops and some scripting bugs. PS5 Pro adds Performance Pro and Fidelity Pro modes plus advanced ray tracing (Jeuxvideo.com, Wccftech). Eurogamer, which played on PS5 Pro, noticed some murky backgrounds. The game has full French voice-over and text alongside many other languages (PlayStation Store). It offers extensive accessibility options, including audio description switched on by default at start-up (Eurogamer). The PlayStation Store lists 35.

What the press says

On PS5, scores range from 3/5 (Eurogamer, GamesRadar+) and 6/10 (IGN) to 8.5/10 (Game Informer, Wccftech), with 16/20 from Jeuxvideo.com, 8/10 from TheSixthAxis and Shacknews, and 4/5 from TheGamer. The most praised aspects are the presentation, the performances and the story of Logan and Jean. Criticism focuses on repetitive combat, very linear maps and side activities that add little.

Editions and prices

On the French PlayStation Store, the standard edition is listed at €79.99. The Digital Deluxe Edition (Édition numérique spéciale) adds five suits, five claw styles, four technique points and the pre-order bonuses. It is on sale at €69.29 instead of €89.99 (−23%) until 21 November 2026, 00:59 Paris time, with no subscription required, which makes it cheaper than the standard edition during the promotion. An upgrade from the standard edition costs €10. On disc, the PS5 version was €69.99 at Cdiscount and €66 from a third-party seller on Pixmania (checked on 10 November 2026). It is rated PEGI 18 and includes in-game purchases.

Who is it for?

It is aimed first at Wolverine fans and at players who enjoy PlayStation's story-driven blockbusters and want a short, heavily staged single-player adventure. Anyone expecting a Spider-Man-style open world or deep combat should read the more critical reviews before buying, or wait for a price drop.
