All of your reviews are so good! You really give the best and clearest understandings of games on a wave length that really works for me. I have a question here, I'd really like to pick up one of the Warhammer Quest games between Silver Tower, Shadows Over Hammerhal, or Blackstone Fortress. I've watched all 3 of your reviews on them now. I understand ST is a co-op, SoH is a 1v4, and BF is a co-op that's sci-fi. Despite those differences, if you were someone like me who would be happy to own any one of them, but could only pick one, which is the best bang for the buck? Do any of them excel in feeling more "complete"? Or gameplay-wise are any kind of just "that much better" than the others? Going by preference, I was leaning toward Hammerhal, but someone else gave me the impression it's a little lacking in enemies compared to ST, don't know if that's true. I also get the impression that BF is the most overall polished of the bunch, but just guessing there too. I'd mostly be playing with just my wife and I, and we are (in theory) fine with any of them, even with the player configuration demanded by Hammerhal. Very hard to choose! I welcome all input.

Shadows of Brimstone is designed to keep playing as an open ended "do whatever" RPG style dungeon crawl. This is a very strict sort of progression through the campaign... although it has more open-ended randomness than most traditional dungeon crawls to make it more interesting than a Descent or Imperial Assault style game. It's kind of balance of those two extremes... Descent + Shadows of Brimstone.

BLD A TRUE GAMER it depends on how you want to play. Hammerhal is more D&D like. So there is a DM like mechanic. So you’ll need to know the rules and the backgrounds for the missions. I would go for blackstone because it has great mechanics, you and can play it solo. Also you get new models. Also, you have an official GW tutorial of how to play it. Hammerhal recycles a lot of old ones. I say this really liking the AoS aesthetic better.
