This is the funniest Wolverine review I've seen..

Summary

The video features a comedic, strongly negative review of a Wolverine game, with Asmongold reacting to and praising the reviewer’s jokes. The discussion focuses mainly on the game’s design and presentation, with little attention to its story.

Main Criticisms

• Familiar formula: The reviewer argues that players are tiring of big-budget superhero games built around a familiar, heavily guided formula. He jokes that Wolverine might benefit from the genre reaching “rock bottom.”
• Combat and RPG mechanics: He calls the combat shallow and the RPG mechanics unnecessary, arguing that action games should reward players for learning combos. He contrasts the combat unfavorably with Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and praises Onimusha.
• Level design and traversal: He criticizes the levels for being linear while cluttering the screen with navigation prompts. He also mocks sections that seem designed for a collectathon and calls the traversal underwhelming.
• Characters and writing: He calls the character designs unattractive and unlike their comic-book counterparts. He also criticizes the characterization and an unwanted romance, arguing that the writing makes Wolverine seem too mild.
• Camera, quick-time events, and tone: Other complaints include a camera that stays too close during combat, quick-time events that supposedly allow players to fail without consequence, and a tone that clashes with Wolverine’s history and personality.
• Budget and boss battles: The reviewer warns that a high budget and familiar franchise do not guarantee success, though he acknowledges the game could still make money. He compares its boss battles to those in older licensed games, including Ben 10 titles.

Asmongold’s Reaction

Asmongold agrees with several points, particularly the criticism of one-button combat and the reviewer’s line about games lowering the bar instead of asking players to rise to a challenge. He praises the reviewer’s writing and comedic timing.

At the end, the reviewer appears to praise the game’s flow and casting, then reveals he was actually talking about Onimusha. Asmongold laughs and recommends the reviewer’s channel.
