This Week at a Glance
One real exclusive this week, and it decides the household split on its own: Marvel’s Wolverine is PS5-only and Mature-rated, so LEGO Batman’s Friday Switch 2 landing is where everyone under that rating goes instead. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the bigger Nintendo story, but it is a Thursday release competing for attention with a superhero claw-fest that has been the talk of the month.
What We’d Play This Week
Top Tip of the Week: Marvel’s Wolverine
Marvel’s Wolverine — PS5. Tuesday, PS5 only, and the month’s one true exclusive. Mature-rated, so read our age guide before the negotiating starts, and check the PS5 listing before you commit to a pre-order.
With the Family: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight — Switch 2. The Switch 2 version lands Friday with the Mayhem DLC. Fine from about six upward, and the one to hand over when Wolverine is the answer you are not giving.
From the Backlog: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (5/5)
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — PS5. If Wolverine has you in the mood for a PS5 action game but not for the price, this is two of the best ever made, and they hold up.
