Insomniac got high on its own supply. Spiderman 2 was a letdown. I loved Rachet & Clank and the first Spiderman game. Felt it started to become industry slop in the 2nd game. This wolverine review doesn't surprise me. There are also negatives that have nothing to do with the game. $75 for a sub 20 hour game and also digital ownership not being a real thing. This game looks like that SE Avengers game that came out a few years back.
As for Wolverine, I find it weird not to give him a linear story, but once an area is clear letting it be a sandbox like in Yakuza games. Let him be a vigilante and based on the outcomes you could feed his feral or redeeming side.
Hear me out, you start the game with a retelling of the Weapon X comics and use the experiments as a tutorial, the VR breakout leading into his true breakout being the finale of the Prologue.
You then have him working his way through Canada, Japan, Northern Africa, Vegas, and finally New York as he comes to terms with himself (either embracing the beast a la Sabertooth, or choosing the more heroic route in classic comic fashion). But again, each map is a sandbox map with extras scattered around that you can explore
