Maybe after you guys tear through The Feast of Hemlock Vale you can do an updated video on this to talk about how the most recent sets have improved or rank?
I’ve played all the campaigns and their return to’s and I totally get where you are coming from, but perhaps you should of taken in consideration the first time you’ve played each campaign. There is not one campaign I played that I wasn’t super excited to play through. Sure, at the end of the day, we end up having our favorites, but isn’t every campaign worth playing. I’m just trying to put myself in the feet of newer players, this review gives the impression that certain campaigns are super underwhelming, I don’t think it’s the case. To be clear, I agree with a lot of your different opinions on the campaigns, but I would have made it clear from the top that your ratings make sense only if you’ve played everything many many times, as you guys have. For exemple, someone who has just played the core set and then jumps into Dunwich, will most probably have a blast and be blown away on how much fun it is, probably as you all did when you first played it.
Same feelings here. I'm thinking about buying into this game now that the legacy collections are releasing, but quickly got the feeling that half of them are "not good". Does this mean you love the game, but don't? ;)
Our thoughts are that if you can't be critical of something you love (and we do love the hell out of Arkham), you're not really giving it the true respect it deserves. Even with what I said about Dunwich in this video, I still love setting up those scenarios and playing Arkham, but I can see the faults in Dunwich at the same time.
I think it's an odd takeaway considering how they say even their least fave they have played a dozen times, and they did say they loved their first playthrough.
I agree, that if Constance is the last VIP to morph, and you don't have the time to kill her, you have to burn down the house. But other than her, and we normally had one leftover at most in our recent playthroughs, we are normally fine to just come back to the estate. This will give you the trauma one scenario later, and two extra XP at that point on top. The "run away" option we never choose. It gives you just a little jumpstart at the next scenario and no trauma, but also no doubt or conviction check. But it also should be the most boring option from the thematic and narrative perspective in my opinion.
Agreed, Constance is really the only one you don't want to see again, Ishimaru Haruko is another one, but not really that problematic, Everyone else is just a very minor annoyance. I do think that the doubt path in the final scenario is really the worst one and there's really no reason to ever choose to take the Clasp of Black Onyx, but the neutral path is sometimes a better choice than the conviction one. What baffles me more, however, is that they all mentioned this problem in regards of Carcosa, but none mentioned it in regards of TCU which in my opinion is far more guilty of that. Choosing to befriend the Lodge is absolutely the worst of the two paths from a purely mechanical standpoint. There's literally no reason to do it unless you want to end the campaign early. And the worst part is that... story-wise is the most interesting one. So you either make the wrong decision and get a varied interesting storyline, or make the right one and you get the vanilla version. Choosing to Accept your fate at the start of scenario 1 is also generally a lot better than refusing it.
Cool video. I was surprised by how low Carcosa was for Bryn and Travis since it seems to be hyped a lot on this channel. I look forward to playing it for the first time this month. Hope you guys rank the standalone scenarios in the future.
I just finished Dunwich Legacy for my first full campaign. I debated between the only 2 available cycles in The Forgotten Age and The Circle Undone. Chose TFA and I'll begin this weekend - looking forward to it.
TFA is definitely my favourite; Although City of Archives is my least scenario in the game, I just think the rest of it is so fun. I like the explore mechanic, and I've not even played the return to yet, so surely it can only get better from here. And this campaign actually makes Rita a very good investigator, so that just makes it even better.
It's interesting how people can get such different opinions of scenarios than one another. I find The Dream-Eaters to have 5 scenarios I don't like playing, and sadly, they're the last 5 (well last 4 and sometimes last 5) whereas everyone seems to really enjoy the scenarios for it here. I love all the scenarios in Innsmouth Conspiracy where it seems to have the most low points for you all here. Follow up, where would Night of Zealot be for this? I know it's not a full campaign, but it does have a return to box, so it must be a campaign?
Night of the Zealot would be my #7 if we included it. Only one of the three scenarios I enjoy playing, and it's the campaign I would want to play the least out of all the campaigns.
@@PlayingBoardGames I agree. I think it's a good teaching tool, but it also rarely gets others to want to keep playing the game whereas even Dunwich Legacy does that.
Excellent, thanks guys. I think the first time you play any campaign it has so many wow moments (like losing the Essex County Express after two turns with that book with us, oops). Seems a shame that the "burn everyone" is the only sensible option at the beginning of Carcosa. Due to Covid still haven't had a chance to play Circle Undone, Dream Eaters or Innsmouth Conspirancy.
Unless there would be too much agreement, could you do a video of your „Top 5 cards why you should play with the taboo list“? I feel like some of the taboo‘ed cards are minor adjustments that don’t really matter all that much, others are just broken when played as printed.
Using sledgehammer on Dagon was fun and made decreasing the flood levels really easy. We got near the end of the scenario before we realized we could do it like that.
I just finished my second run through TFA using the Return stuff and I loved it again! Loved the rework to explore and the added locations that reward picking almost every supply.
Another vote for a ranking of the non-massive-multiplayer standalones. Where do Curse of the Rougarou, Carnavale, Guardians of the Abyss, Murder at the Excelsior Hotel, etc. rank relative to each other?
Addig minor spoiler warning would not have been bad idea, for someone like me who has just finished the core box and is looking for the next cycle to get, some information was a bit too much, like saying carcosa has a certain way to play it to win, then discussing that way :/
@@TheDungeonDiveit's common courtesy to warn people when you are going to spoil specific things. That's just empathy towards the type of viewer that would click on the video. For example someone looking to buy their first campaign and wanting to know which one is "the best" For example I'm here because I haven't played the game in years and want to know which campaign I should get next. I'm glad I found this comment here, because now I know I must not watch the video and just look at the ranking at the end. Which is a bummer, but no choice.
I recognize Bryn's opinion on the boat vs car scenario a lot. I think it's because the boat gives you more agency and options to move, whereas the cars really just reward you for getting clues very quickly and ignoring the car as much as possible.
Surprised by such a great ranking of TDE. For me that one is quite firmly on the rock bottom, and I don't see that changing via a Return to (if we ever get it).
I was confused too, because it's such a distant sixth for me. But I think this speaks to how great the game really is: my least favorite might be someone else's favorite.
I just played dream eaters for the first time and I narratively I really didn’t like it. Managing two sets of decks and bouncing back and forth wasn’t fun. And some of the encounter cards were my least favorite of all time. Plus some of scenarios were just way too long… that being said now Im playing just one half by itself and I’m enjoying it a lot more. The idea of getting 7 scenarios worth of Xp in 3 scenarios is great for trying out new decks too. Personally I think this one will probably benefit more than any other campaign from a return to. Here’s hoping. Either way I agree it’s currently my least favorite ( I havnt played innsmouth yet)
@@Aoshi312 I only want one thing from that Return To, if it ever happens - to up the interaction between two investigator sets so the entire hassle is actually worth it. Currently it's just a whole lotta annoyance for ridiculously little gain.
I didn't play TDE, but I just can't form an idea on it, because of how all over the place the reactions are on this one. At least in the case of TFA people either love it or hate it, that's something I can understand, but TDE has basically all the possible ranges.
Is there merit to a new comer to AH playing these campaigns in release order? Does that help with understanding the deck building component of the game at all? Is there a ramp up in challenge perhaps?
Now that the new release model makes player card acquisition independent of campaign/scenario acquisition, ranking sets of player cards by cycle could be cool/helpful.
Hey, love your content but could you please describe the scenarios a little bit more when you talk about them ? :) It's really hard to remember what they are just by the name most of time ? Also, in the videos that rank scenarios (and not campaigns, just add from what campaign the scenario is, to put a little more context ;) )
th-cam.com/video/gwIu7sjwbwQ/w-d-xo.html This video covers this topic with new players in mind, not as us as players that have played every expansion multiple times. :)
Wow, my list would be very different: 6. The Forgotten Age 5. The Path To Carcosa 4. The Dunwich Legacy 3. The Innsmouth Conspiracy 2. The Dream-Eaters 1. The Circle Undone
As a fairly new Arkham player, I'm interested in getting opinions as to the benefit of playing the campaigns in their release order, or if people generally think it doesn't really matter the order of the campaigns.
The only thing I think that really matters for order is playing Dunwich early, as the design issues will be less glaring, and when you play the Forgotten Age to be aware the campaign is particularly punishing early.
The Travis uppercut should be the new name for Vicious Blow. Nice list. Interesting to see that TFA has grown on all of you over time. It’s been one of my overall favorites since it came out but doesn’t seem to get too much love. How come Night of the Zealot doesn’t warrant being on the list? Also you should consider a companion piece that ranks the cycles by investigators. Not individual investigators, but the pool as a whole of investigators added by each cycle. Keep up the great work.
My gf and I just played Essex County Express for the first time and both died on the first train car and were like "no thanks" so we just moved ourselves forward and continued. Because screw that.
My only problem with Innsmouth Conspiracy is the location that kill you (5 damage) if you end there. That is a terrible design choice for this point of the development of this game.
There were only two spoilers that bothered me (one about a choice, one about a plot twist) but a lot of other points might be considered spoilers to someone less forgiving (like i don't care if the name of a villain is mentioned).
Stagnant decision trees can be combated by making decisions in character. It's an interesting way to force diversity in play through and give the lead investigator more to settle when your table debates if a dirty cop would burn down a building of people
Why is Dream Eaters better with multiple collections? That was just treated as obvious. Player card collections having people with the encounter stuff?
If you have a bigger collection or multiple collections, the players won't need to disassemble their decks as much (if at all) when going from one side of the campaign to the other.
For me: (1) TFA is best. Mind-blowingly good. (2) TCU - equally amazing, but the length of scenarios makes me like it a little less (3) Innsmouth - so, so good. Tons of fun. I just hate the XP spending mechanic. (4) Carcosa - it's good but the 'are you crazy' aspect is a little annoying in terms of not giving you a cohesive story, but still good (5) Dunwich - it's fun but dated and a little too linear, with some very meh scenarios included (6) Dream Eaters - least favorite by a mile. The two decks are a pain, but the biggest crime is the story. The ending you're most likely to get doesn't even make sense. Are they insane or are they rescued? Are they rescued but still insane? Not clear at all. A campaign ending in an unclear 3-liner is a disaster. Combine that with having two different underdeveloped villains and the story is just a disaster. What is the motivation of our main bad guy? No clue. And to make the other one seem so irrelevant.. it's just so unfortunate. Some of the scenarios are really good, but I can't forgive terrible story. Add to that the pain of two decks and it's the only one we don't actually want to replay.
This is intriguing to me that your preference is Dream Eaters. I own it but still haven't played it. Based on what I have heard, it is not ideal for solo and my friends have less experience. Would love your opinion on this. Would it make sense if I did one set as solo and the second set as 2 player and completely let the other player make the decisions?
TH-cam took longer than expected while processing this video last night, so I couldn't remove the automatically set midrolls before it went up. That'll be fixed very soon. TH-cam loves putting in like 50 midrolls in a 10 minute video.
I didnt like Dream Eaters at all . First, there was not a single outstanding scenario, a lot of pretty normal stuff. The scenario design never gave you the feeling for the story. The story just got the base idea but then it just was enough to keep the scenarios a bit together. You were in the dreamland and it always felt so small (not like in EOTE for example). But the worst was, that you build two investigator just to play 4 scenarios each. I like to play them a lot and see how they level up and so on. Its the only campaign i dont want to play again (soon).
Undimensioned and Unseen is by FAR the worst scenario in the whole game. Its not only long and random, but the better you do in the previous scenario, the worst it will be for you here. AND it basically does NOT matter if you do this scenario or not. At worst you start the next with 5 doom on the agenda? Youll still have plenty of time to finish it. So basically its a huge waste of time :( Its so bad, that it is probably my main reason I like Dunwhich the least
That's not completely true. The better you did in the previous scenario, the harder it gets, but also the more XP you can get from it. Sure, it's only XP for two remaining scenarios, so not that valuable. But Dunwich is the most stingy campaign on XP, so you likely still get some value from it.
@@markusschmidt9260 That is true, but thats also a difference of like 3-4 exp for two hours grind? Not sure if anyone is able to do a full clear of 5 of these. Not to mention if you have 5 to clear, and have 2 in play to begin with, this will probably be your hardest earned 5 experience in the whole game :D So, while you are right with this, Im still sad that most of the incentive to suffer through this scenario is if you want a couple of experience points.

On exploration, it's ALWAYS been that you continue until you hit a location or a treachery. Even in original TFA.
*a playable location, that makes a huge difference.
Cool video. I was surprised by how low Carcosa was for Bryn and Travis since it seems to be hyped a lot on this channel. I look forward to playing it for the first time this month.
Hope you guys rank the standalone scenarios in the future.
Don't worry, Carcosa is crazyly fun! Specially the story.
Update is needed including Edge of the Earth &The Scarlet Keys cycles

Also you should consider a companion piece that ranks the cycles by investigators. Not individual investigators, but the pool as a whole of investigators added by each cycle.
Keep up the great work.

Agree with "10 card forbidden in your deck or Travis will invade your house & beat you with Necronomicon"
My only problem with Innsmouth Conspiracy is the location that kill you (5 damage) if you end there. That is a terrible design choice for this point of the development of this game.
It would be nice (and would help me personally a lot i purchasing decisions) if you could rank campaigns by difficulty
For me:
1 the dream eaters
2 the forgotten age
3 Carcosa
4 Insmouth
5 Dunwich
6 the circle undone
They took a lot of mental damage talking about Path to Carcosa.
Before I watch this, does it contain spoilers for the campaigns?
yes it does
They do mention some plot lines and end of campaign reveals ( who was the baddie etc). The rest is about game mechanics
Yes.

Undimensioned and Unseen is by FAR the worst scenario in the whole game.
Its not only long and random, but the better you do in the previous scenario, the worst it will be for you here. AND it basically does NOT matter if you do this scenario or not. At worst you start the next with 5 doom on the agenda? Youll still have plenty of time to finish it. So basically its a huge waste of time :( Its so bad, that it is probably my main reason I like Dunwhich the least
That's not completely true. The better you did in the previous scenario, the harder it gets, but also the more XP you can get from it. Sure, it's only XP for two remaining scenarios, so not that valuable. But Dunwich is the most stingy campaign on XP, so you likely still get some value from it.
@@markusschmidt9260 That is true, but thats also a difference of like 3-4 exp for two hours grind? Not sure if anyone is able to do a full clear of 5 of these. Not to mention if you have 5 to clear, and have 2 in play to begin with, this will probably be your hardest earned 5 experience in the whole game :D So, while you are right with this, Im still sad that most of the incentive to suffer through this scenario is if you want a couple of experience points.
Full Carcosa playthrough with characters with 1 brain? 😉
DBBBB: DON'T BRING BACK BEARDED BRYN!!!
I want to see that Travis video.
You don't like fish people? Do you like Luca?
