Is this game connected to the Spider-Man games?

Yes, Insomniac has confirmed it shares a universe, but don't expect a bright, poppy crossover. This is a much darker corner of that world with a completely different tonal 'vibe'.

Can I turn off the blood or gore in the settings?

While there are some accessibility toggles, the 'brutality' is core to the gameplay and story. You can't really sanitize this into a PG experience without losing the point of the game.

How long is the game?

It's a beefy single-player campaign, roughly 15-20 hours if you're just doing the story, and closer to 30 if you're hunting for every collectible in Logan's past.

Is there a multiplayer or co-op mode?

No, this is a strictly solo experience. It's just you and the claws, which makes it easier to manage screen time since there's no pressure from online teammates.

Screenwise Verdict

Marvel's Wolverine is a triumph of game design, but it’s definitely not a 'family' game. Insomniac has leaned into the grit, creating a masterpiece for fans who have grown up with the character and want to see his darker side explored without the PG-13 safety rails.

It’s a linear, polished, and brutal ride. If you’re looking for something wholesome to play with the kids, go back to Spider-Man. But if you want a heavy-hitting story about a man trying to find his humanity while using his least-human attributes, this is the best it gets in 2026.

Age Fit

This is strictly for older teens and adults. If they aren't old enough to watch the movie 'Logan,' they aren't ready to play this. It’s a violent, somber character study that doesn't pull its punches.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

Logan isn't exactly a role model for emotional regulation. It's a story rooted in trauma, isolation, and 'relentless determination' that usually involves a high body count. While there's a code of honor, the tone is intentionally grim and heavy.

Imaginative

Insomniac Games are the gold standard for superhero mechanics. The way they've translated Wolverine’s tracking senses and claw-based traversal into a 3D space is masterfully creative, even if it's used for destruction.

Safe

This is a hard M-rated experience. We're talking dismemberment, environmental kills, and a 'rage' mechanic that rewards visceral violence. It's the opposite of the sanitized MCU; it's closer to the 'Logan' film in terms of gore.

Enriching

Beyond the slashing, Insomniac crafts deep character studies. It explores the burden of immortality and the ethics of a 'hero' who is essentially a living weapon. It’s high-quality storytelling for a mature audience.

Parent Info

✓

Why It Might Be Great

Top-tier combat that feels weighty and dangerous, not just button-mashing.
A deeply personal story that dives into Logan’s pre-X-Men history and trauma.
Stunning PS5 visuals that make every environment—from snowy forests to neon bars—feel alive.
Zero 'live service' fluff; it's a focused, single-player narrative experience.

⚠

What to Watch For

The gore is unapologetic. Claws actually do what claws would do—there is a lot of blood and occasional dismemberment.
Wolverine's 'Berserker Rage' mode is visually intense and can be a bit much for anyone sensitive to flashing lights or sustained aggression.
The language is much saltier than your average Marvel movie; Logan has a sailor's mouth in this one.

Conversation Starters

"Does being a hero require being a 'good' person, or just doing the right thing when it matters?"
"How does Logan’s ability to heal instantly change the way he views danger compared to someone like Batman?"
"Why do we find 'anti-heroes' like Wolverine more interesting than traditional 'perfect' heroes?"
"If you could live forever but had to see everyone you love age, would you take that deal?"
