“The animated trailer is what drew me in. I thought it was a single player, story-based campaign. When I found out it was a strategy board game, I was a bit disappointed at first...but that didn't last long as I tried…”

“I buy this game for at least 1 friend pretty much every Christmas. When I broke my dominant hand and couldn’t hold a controller for a month, I dove in deep on this game trying to get my first Rot Victory. I love it,…”
“I love this game, I try to get people to play it with me all the time. I finally 100% after years of playing on and off. Its a wonderful game and everyone should give it a shot.”

“Honestly a really fun game it runs great it perfect for the family or with friends the only downside is the multiplayer community is small but there is cross play so you can still find matches but it can take up too a…”
“Gameplay is nice, but sucks not be able to see the whole map as things are happening, and 9 out of 10 matches show game is offline and skip granting of reward and progress.”

“Your average* session of Armello will go something like this... • Whatever win condition you are currently going for, you are not allowed to have it. • All the randomly placed perils are inexplicably on the path to your…”
“Wish the game was more popular. Only real complaint is that, in my experience, Prestige victory is almost always the easiest way to win unless you play a character who's crazy in combat. I haven't played the multiplayer…”

“Game still crashes every time. That combined with the inability to rejoin games in progress makes this game unplayable. DO NOT BUY!”
“This game tested my friendships worse than any Monopoly session ever could've. The game design feels too random and mean-spirited/antagonistic to be quite the fun party-game romp we were hoping it'd be, plus the endgame…”
“Its a solid game. Haven't even used the online/multiplayer options yet and still find the 45minute-1hour games against the comps satisfying. may have found a bug though...some of the achievements are not proccing. So…”

Obscuring visuals, tons of stealth, hidden opponent quests, hidden perils, hidden opponent hands, information buried the depths of the UI; you name it, this game goes out of its way to hide it. Hidden information in games is a…”
