Marvel's Wolverine Divides Players a Week After Launch

Marvel's Wolverine has sparked divided opinion in its first week on PlayStation 5. Critical reviews have been inconsistent, and the game has faced backlash on social media through gameplay clips, yet it maintains an impressively high user score on the PS Store.

The action title sits at a Metacritic rating of 76 based on 134 reviews, making it one of the lowest-scoring PS5 exclusives of the console generation. Despite this, Push Square's reviewer Liam awarded the game an 8/10, writing: "With superb visuals, amazing character performances, and nice location variety, Marvel's Wolverine sheds its flaws for an endlessly enjoyable superhero experience."

The disparity between critic scores and player sentiment reflects broader divergence in how the game has been received. Push Square launched a poll asking players to rate the title themselves, following a week of mixed reactions across gaming communities. Social media has seen numerous commenters report enjoying the experience, contrasting with the negative clips circulating online.

The game's Metacritic standing places it below most other PlayStation Studios releases on PS5, though the 76 score is not considered poor by industry standards.
