Decision brief
Is Marvel's Wolverine worth it?
Maybe — depends on what you want.
Insomniac's gore-soaked brawler nails the berserker power fantasy — 22-hour platinums and short-story complaints are the trade-off.

Who should pick this up
Worth it if…
- You want gore-heavy melee combat that evolves with unlockable abilities.
- You platinumed Marvel's Spider-Man and want a shorter, tighter Insomniac campaign.
- You'll trade a padded 30-hour sprawl for a 22-hour focused brawl.
Skip if…
- You need a 40-hour RPG-scale campaign to justify $70.
- You're allergic to QTEs, cutscene handholding, and on-rails set pieces.
- You want combat depth that holds up past the credits — it gets repetitive.
