The biggest issue I have is the game ending with the crew being sent to the planet to start the next movie. The ship has huge chunks missing, there are still loose Gorn onboard I'm sure, parts of the interior were on fire... I'm sure none of that will be mentioned in the movie. Also, the writer worked with Kurtzman and Orci so this is "canon" in the JJverse. The problem with that is that the "Countdown to Darkness" comics which are also "canon" end with the crew being sent to the planet to start the next movie. Both can't be "canon". They were doing so well keeping things straight, they had maybe 30 comics & one movie, all of it was working out pretty well. Then they sign off on contradictory lead ins to the second movie. Oh well. I'm pretty sure the comics are more "canon" in that they are about Kirk questioning the Prime Directive and don't end with the Enterprise in several pieces. But they could have had the game lead into the comic instead of creating this contradiction with the very few things they could contradict with.

From what I can tell the comic and game aren't necessarily contradictory. At the end of the comic Pike orders them to drop off April at the nearest starbase before continuing on their mission to Nibiru. So let's assume they do that then on their way to Nibiru they pick up a distress call and end up on that vulcan space station.

I haven't played the game but from the description I've read the game ends with a captain's log describing T'Mar as having recovered enough to resume duties on New Vulcan. So that would seem to suggest time has passed enough to deal with the damage to the ship and loose Gorn before they resume heading to Nibiru.
