I also see a lot of Uncharted in this game, as most of the flashbacks that occur throughout the main story take place in a jungle filled with ancient ruins. Everything from the brutal and extremely bloody combat to the buyable combos, to the way Wolverine opens some doors, and even the orbs that are released from slain enemies and objects, all reminded me of Kratos’ series. But the two games this game borrows heavily from would be God of War and Uncharted.
There’s a rather cool boss fight against two Wendigos (more on those later) that reminded me of the epic battle against Leon and two El Gigantes in Resident Evil 4, and collecting the dog tags of your fallen comrades reminded me of the first Gears of War. The first thing you should know is that Wolverine doesn’t try to do anything new or innovative, it borrows from several successful games and manages to make what it borrows its own. But whether it’s good enough to warrant a purchase is the big question, one I’ll be answering in this review. It’s obvious from the first cut scene to the end credits that the developers wanted to do this game justice and that they weren’t simply cashing in on a sure thing. I can say in all honesty that after seeing the film this adaptation is actually better than the movie it’s based off of.
While not as polished or innovative as the games that inspire it, Origins definitely sets the bar pretty high for future movie-licensed games. This is a fairly easy game to summarize: If God of War and Uncharted got together to have babies, Wolverine would be their offspring.
