Wolverine review roundup: Frankly, we’re starting to feel a little better about the whole ‘PlayStation 5 exclusive’ thing

Insomniac’s long-awaited Wolverine is out, and, well, it’s not great. I mean that in the very literal sense: It’s fine—good, even, at least in some ways—but it’s not great, and that’s a problem for a game that was positioned as one of Sony’s biggest PlayStation 5 exclusives of the past few years.

Sony reportedly dropped Hideo Kojima’s next game because it kept missing deadlines, was over budget, and would eventually come to other platforms
