Game director Mike Daly responded to the criticism. He stated that Insomniac Games is already accustomed to such reactions online.
In an interview, Daly noted that the studio has been working for years under immense pressure from player expectations. According to him, this is a "good problem" because it shows how deeply fans are invested in Insomniac's projects.
The developer recalled that a similar situation arose with all games in the Marvel's Spider-Man series. Despite high ratings and millions of copies sold, players criticized the appearance of the characters, missions, and individual gameplay elements.
Daly emphasized that even an excellent game cannot please absolutely everyone. When creating Marvel's Wolverine, the team did not try to take into account every opinion from the internet. The main task was to convey Logan's character. Therefore, the developers chose a more linear, story-driven, and brutal game instead of another open world in the style of Spider-Man.
