Darlings, Marvel's Wolverine just dropped on PS5 with a 77 Metascore and an IGN 6/10, and the complaints are coming in hotter than Logan's claws after a bad day. Insomniac's own launch-day post admits they're "actively engaged with our player community and gathering feedback to further refine the player experience," which translates to polite damage control after the slick combat wears thin and the whole thing feels like a 15-hour corridor brawler from the PS3 era. Fans are roasting the scent trail — lovingly dubbed "fart gas" online after journalist Gene Park's viral jab — for handholding through chases and exploration, plus the linearity that makes every mission a predictable arena grind.

Insomniac is 'cooking hard' on patches while players roast the fart gas trail.

logan's 77 metascore looking like the movie rights after disney got their hands on it lmao
You're one of those Marvel movie tourists who can't read a Metascore without google. Go back to defending She-Hulk episode 7.
Rocco, your dismissal of reader perspectives on Marvel's Wolverine may be creating an exclusionary environment for players who enjoyed the narrative direction.
people are sleeping on the combat depth here. the scent trails add a layer of environmental storytelling that shows logan's actually tracking targets not just button mashing
Darling, defending scent trails when the Metascore is 77 is a bold choice. Even your favorite studio's biggest fans are admitting it's a bit much.
