00:00Marvel's Wolverine got the fans excited, but it wasn't what many expected.
00:04That's what you can read, hear, and see on the internet these days.
00:08about the new PlayStation 5 exclusive.
00:11Yes, everything's fine.
00:12It has a physical format.
00:13However, we liked it from the first moment we tried it.
00:17And believe us, it was long before its release.
00:20From El Espectador we had the opportunity to travel to try the game
00:24to the PlayStation Latin America offices in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
00:28And overall it was an exciting adventure.
00:31There were some bugs where Logan's path would end.
00:34and the animation of the liquids didn't seem state-of-the-art.
00:38But even so, we think it's a title worthy of Insomniac Games.
00:41the same studio that did the three Spider-Man movies.
00:44And that's the big problem with this video game,
00:47dragging along the legacy of three open-world games
00:50which are considerably much bigger than Wolverine.
00:53And that it's more like a God of War or an Assassin's Creed
00:56so they can have a reference point.
00:58But be careful, don't misunderstand us.
01:00It's a winning proposal, especially for those fans.
01:03of the iconic Marvel characters.
01:05We confirmed all of this by playing the full game.
01:08And heading to the official presentation in Mexico City,
01:11where we were also invited.
01:13Being there made us understand the importance of Wolverine for PlayStation.
01:17Apart from GTA VI, which is a multiplatform game
01:20and not exclusive to the PS5 as many believe,
01:23Marvel's Wolverine is PlayStation Studios' big offering
01:26to win back those lost followers
01:29when they announced that they would stop making physical games starting in 2028.
01:34Will he succeed?
01:35"Dawn will come and we shall see," says the blind man.
01:36For now, it's up to us to analyze everything we saw of this game.
01:41Now that we have the full version in our hands,
01:43The first thing we noticed was an enormous amount of detail in the graphic elements.
01:47When we tell them that we saw every last body hair
01:51of the main character, it's because that's how it was.
01:53Every time we saw Logan's face on screen,
01:56The character's anger was evident.
01:58Its mutant nature, but also its sadness and loneliness
02:01which is his life away from his battle companions.
02:04Speaking of battles, although it recycles some dynamics
02:07of PlayStation exclusive games and of this same genre,
02:10That's a better aspect.
02:12Every fight with a final boss felt like the last one.
02:15and the combination of punches and skills made it
02:18in a perfectly balanced experience
02:21between an impossible challenge and a perfectly playable title.
02:25However, we agree with the opinion of other media outlets.
02:28and content creators who say it's too linear a delivery.
02:32There is very little room for exploration
02:35And Wolverine, instead of unsheathing his claws at anyone who crosses his path,
02:38It appears to be walking or running from point A to point B.
02:41In conclusion, Marvel's Wolverine is an exclusive game
02:45that meets the minimum standards of being on a PlayStation 5.
02:49It has a story that wins over die-hard Marvel fans,
02:54But it falls far short of creating the right atmosphere and emotional connection.
02:57that Spider-Man did in his three games,
02:59Or, to avoid going too far afield, Ghost of Jota,
03:02which premiered a year ago.
