Insomniac Games can’t seem to miss, and in the inevitable case that Marvel’s Wolverine is a hit, it should look to other X-Men characters to adapt.
The reviews are in for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and by all accounts, the game is an absolute triumph for Insomniac. While Insomniac has been putting out high-quality releases consistently for years now, it hasn’t achieved a Metacritic score of over 90 in the best part of two decades, but Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has finally changed that, and it’s proven that Insomniac Games doesn’t miss. So, while fans know practically nothing about it yet, it seems inevitable that Marvel’s Wolverine will be another big hit for Insomniac.
There’s quite a lot riding on Marvel’s Wolverine after the great success of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but this isn’t Insomniac’s first rodeo. For the last few years, Insomniac has been chaining its huge AAA releases together, dropping them one after the other with barely any breaks in between, and if there’s any studio that can drop two excellent Marvel games in quick succession, it’s Insomniac. And once Marvel’s Wolverine becomes the success it’s destined to be, Insomniac might want to look to the rest of the X-Men cast for future projects, where there are a select few who deserve their own starring role.
