Marvel's Wolverine has faced criticism for being overly handholdy, with players discovering that quick-time event sequences and a viral motorcycle chase segment can complete themselves without meaningful player input. While some QTEs do have minor consequences like damage, many sequences play out identically regardless of whether players respond to button prompts, sparking debate about game interactivity and design.
Marvel's Wolverine launched on PlayStation 5 to uneven reviews and negative reception, compounded by Sony's decision to end physical disc production. God of War Laufey, releasing February 2027, now faces heightened scrutiny to prove audiences still want Sony's cinematic action-adventure games amid criticism that the studio's formula has become formulaic.
