Wolverine's mature-rated violent bliss is the palette cleanser I need after years playing Spider-Man's wholesome action

Marvel's Wolverine.

The proper reveal trailer for Marvel's Wolverine caught my attention, and not just because I've been a long time fan of both Wolverine and the X-Men (I'm a brown suit kind of guy), but because the pounding snikt-snikt-snikt punctuation of violence just feels so different from the superhero gaming I've become accustomed to. It, ahem, cuts through the noise. With Marvel's Wolverine due as soon as Fall 2026, there's not long to wait, either.

Which doesn't mean the also Insomniac-developed Spider-Man games are completely tame, but when Peter Parker or Miles Morales deliver a comically destructive pounding to a regular guy, flipping them off a rooftop – a web-gadget will always stick them to the wall so they don't fall to their certain death. The distinction between that, and fountains of blood gushing from enemy skulls in Wolverine really says it all.
