 The video game has a great story so of course the comic adaptation does as well -- though it is a little crammed. I used this as a refresher for the storyline before I play the next game 😂👌

Loved this adaptation of the game. Great art and interesting alterations. Of course, it did feel a bit rushed in the last couple of chapters and while I don't think it could fit in 12 issues, I wish they had expanded to maybe 8 to 10.

Still, I've playes the game twice and watched a playthrough and now read it in comic form and this is a fantastic Spidey story for the ages.

A really good companion piece to the game.

It fills things in where something may have been desired in the game but also leaves stuff out that was in the game. I think that comes mostly from the strengths of the two mediums. Such as this story plays out across 20 or so hours of game vs six 23 page issues.

I think it’s best read after playing or watching the game but some might find it to be a good stand in for the game if they don’t do games.

All around solid comic that’s at times too fast paced for its own good but has good writing and art to offset that.

A nice adaptation the PS4 video game's story. Although it's very clear that the original story was paced for a video game. A lot of the narrative threads feel a bit jumbled and they don't pack the emotional punch that the game did. That said this is still a good way to get the great story that the game presents. Just not the way it was initially intended to be experienced.

it does a great job of showing extra scenes from the game, but what it does show from the game is too condensed for my liking
