Omega Red, the first boss fight in Marvel's Wolverine, is a shockingly difficult skill check, stumping new players of Insomniac's PS5 game.

The short version

  • James "Logan" Howlett, also known as the superhero Wolverine, loves himself good whiskey.
  • I, too, poured myself some whiskey the other night while fighting Omega Red, the startlingly challenging first boss in Marvel's Wolverine .
  • It seems I'm far from alone here: As players start diving into the game, many seem surprised at just how much of a skill check Omega Red poses.

What happened

15 for PlayStation 5, Marvel's Wolverine is the latest from Insomniac Games, set in the same fictional universe as the studio's popular Spider-Man series. Wolverine takes a bit of a different tack than those games: It's a linear action game, rather than an open-world RPG, and befitting its star, is significantly more violent to boot.

Why it matters

Wolverine carves through waves of enemies, dismembering and decapitating goons by the dozen.
