Comment on Heartbroken. I had a copy of Wolverine in my car and someone broke in and left five more

  Well that’s what I thought too, surely it can’t be that bad? In short imagine if yellow paint ate Navi

  So it’s a linear game, and from the brief 5 min review I saw (didn’t even know there was a Wolverine game until all this discourse) it is a linear game, like REALLY linear, like the first level has one entrance and exit.

  There is a constant blue line to show the player where to go like a gps line, and Wolverine always talks to him self.

  Theres also now a purple line at the end of the level to a doorway (challenge room) and this too needs a gps path despite being very obvious if you look to the left. The first challenge was a traversal challenge, and because the game has like 0 traversal mechanics aside from “wall climb on yellow paint” so they got the fastest time first try

  And there was a “hidden” chest with 3 different cues, a constant hum, a quick sonar ping, and a visual pulse so big you could EASILY see it upon exiting the challenge room over all geometry

    Wow. I was mildly to cautiously optimistic after the reveal trailer a while back.

    Now that excitement is completely gone.

    I wanted The Wolverine not Fisher Price’s Angy Weasel.

      “…not Fisher Price’s Angy Weasel.”

      I’m wheezing!

    On top of all this, the quick time events complete themselves if you dont press anything.

    So ultimately, they’re just an annoying button prompt overlay on a cutscene.

      Oh my god that’s awful. I can’t remember if I mentioned it and my first comment isn’t loading, but I didn’t watch the whole review just 5 or 10 min, and I stopped watching cus like surely it can’t be worse than this, the apex of yellow paint

      My goodness and I thought already it insulted the players

      Like I don’t mind these things as an accessibility option, like one of my friends struggles with QTEs cus she has some physical stuff that makes those inputs difficult, especially if the button presses are random like in QTEs. But anyways my point is as an OPTION. Like even Skyrim had something like clairvoyance and it was really useful if I was being an absolute idiot or during modded maze quest

      But that’s just ridiculous

  It is apparently extremely hand-holdy and linear according to the reviews I’ve seen.
