Eurogamer’s embargoed preview, published early and quickly spotted on Reddit, portrays Marvel’s Wolverine as a solid but lesser Insomniac effort before wider impressions arrive on Aug. 13.
The leak points to two main weaknesses: combat that can feel clumsy when Logan is surrounded and a predictable story that stands out more because the game drops Spider-Man-style open-world exploration.
That more linear structure keeps the focus on brutal, fast transitions between cutscenes and third-person fights, though the preview suggests progression and new abilities may ease early combat frustrations.
Sony still may get a favorable launch reception when full reviews land on the Sept. 15 release date, but the game is now being framed as likely successful rather than one of Insomniac’s best.
