Great for fans; Limited replayability

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

This is a great game for fans of the graphic novel. It’s fun, very thematic and a cool ride. However, I think that you will only want to play this game through a few times. There are only 4 scenarios in the campaign and each one only lasts 1-2 hours. Thus you are really getting about 5-8 hours of gameplay. Maybe you wan to replay it once or twice, but probably not more. There are some side scenarios too, but they’re not tied to the campaign. This game has some innovative mechanics and is very thematic to the graphic novel. Thus it is really a must-play for enthusiasts. But is it a must buy? Would be a good game to borrow or rent (if you could). On the other hand if they release an expansion to this, that would be so cool.

The best solo game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This is a fantastic solo game that truly brings the comic book to life. Great mechanics, tough decisions, and all around good time.

Outstanding Solo Game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Lots of choices to make. Theme is well integrated and the gameplay flows well. Setups is a little long but worth it as this game is one of the bigger surprises of 2022 for me!
