Tech > Gaming > Video Games The Wolverine Game Sinks Its Claws Into Emotional Heights Rather Than Story Cohesion A bold foray into an alternate universe crashes Logan against dysfunctional families, doomed love and antimutant violence, but its logic frays as the game goes on. Insomniac Games/Screenshot by CNET The Marvel superhero Wolverine has been a fan favorite for so long that he’s been spread across a lot of media, splintering his identity as much as his character’s memory: Is he an X-Man, an Avenger, a lone wolf, a team leader, an ancient soldier, a savage berserker, a noble warrior? Insomniac, tapped to make a game centered around the surly mutant who can heal anything except his attitude, opted for a linear adventure hitting the emotional beats of belonging and betrayal — and getting the character’s claws bloody.
