I personally love it! A few thoughts after 3 sessions:
AH LCG is a highly immersive experience! You choose a character, pick up a deck with skills, events, items, and start reading the well written lovecraftian horror story snippets.
The encounter deck, different characters, decks, slightly different events, scenarios (if you buy them) luck and your choose-your-own-adventure-decisions culminate in a high replayability.
It feels like a roguelite with permadeath activated. It’s hard, every decision matters, usually luck is not on your side and you are happy, if you get out of a situation not dead or insane. These are the ways your character could get eliminated afaik.
It ‘s playable solo with one or two characters (atm I prefer one). I can’t imagine bringing it to the table if you have guests over and want to have fun. I keep it for special evenings, when I want to get lost in a (non-digital) story.
