Wolverine (Logan) - Character Guide

James 'Logan' Howlett is a centuries-old, amnesiac mutant with retractable claws, animalistic instincts and a healing factor, grafted with an adamantium-laced skeleton. This game tells an original, self-contained story set before the X-Men exist: Logan has walked away from Team X into the Canadian wilderness, and the campaign is as much about recovering his own past as stopping the mutant abductions. Liam McIntyre's performance — the shouting, the grunting, the quiet moments — has been singled out across reviews as one of the best of the year.

You play the whole campaign as Logan, and his kit defines the combat: fast light-and-heavy claw combos with no stamina meter, Tornado Spin from the prologue, the Helix Claws wide-blast unlocked in Japan, parries against blue-glowing attacks, brutal takedowns, Berserker Rage that climbs to Tier 3, and team combos where Jean staggers enemies for the kill. Outside combat you track scents, make 30-foot jumps and sneak through stealth sections with takedowns.

Logan's customization runs through three systems: 32 unlockable suits with independently equippable claw cosmetics, Adaptations (utility unlocks like Crate Finder and Whisky Finder earned from Nightmare Doors and whisky bottles), and a skill tree reviewers describe as compact but sufficient. Crafting 20 suits fully upgrades his health bar — the single most important long-game progression track.
