The Boys’ final episode may be a bit overly predictable at times, but the strong execution and big character moments make for a satisfying send-off to the series. Read our full review.

Marvel’s Wolverine in a violent game — this is something developer Insomniac set out to build from the very start. The X-Men legend uses his adamantium claws to stab and dismember his opponents in rage-fueled melee combat, showering them and himself in blood. We see Wolverine suffer detailed body damage, his flesh tearing to expose his adamantium-laced skeleton. This is a game not for the faint of heart. But, if you don’t like the look of all that gore, you can turn it off.

If you grew up playing NES games, Game Boy games, or similar games from that era — if you remember spending an entire afternoon stuck on a single screen until you figured out the trick to moving forward — Mina the Hollower is aimed squarely at you. I've still got plenty of questions about the back half of this thing, but after several hours with the early game, I'm fully hooked and am prepared to blast through the rest without stopping to ask when it drops on all platforms on May 29.
