Series fans say Marvel's Wolverine really needs to mix things up in terms of fighting compared with other superhero games. Without Spider-Man's flying kicks and web-slinging stunts, Wolverine does all of his work on the ground, slashing through enemies up close.
This means that game makers at Insomniac Games really have to think of new ways to keep players on their toes so that it doesn't feel like just button-mashing.

Marvel's Wolverine Faces Combat Revamp
With the impending release of Marvel's Wolverine, a project in which fans of Insomniac Games are looking forward with great anticipation, many loud calls are on the rise for its difference in combat. Not as fluid and aerial as in Marvel's Spider-Man, Wolverine fights will be much more direct and earthbound.
Coupled with the promise of delivering a more mature game that demands newness to avoid gameplay fatigue.
According to Game Rant, while the beloved web-slinger could swing from skyscrapers and use gadgets to vary his fights, Wolverine's tools are his fists and claws, meaning the game must dig deeper into melee mechanics.
This shift has sparked discussions among the gaming community, who feel that simply transplanting the Spider-Man combat system would be a misstep.
Some say that Wolverine should hold inside a variety of moves and counter-moves so that every encounter with an enemy is unique and strategic.
Wolverine Game Faces Tough Challenges
While the storytelling and character development of earlier Marvel titles have earned praise, Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games raises many more challenges. It will certainly call on game developers to further flesh out the parry system by possibly borrowing from successful melee-focused titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
The anticipation around this title is not just about the action sequences.
As per the report, fans will be curious about how much the raw persona of Wolverine comes together with some of the more nuanced story beats that have been a part of their games. The focus is very tight, though, and that's on combat, for it's within these areas that Marvel's Wolverine can differentiate itself from its predecessors.
