Really great new iteration of Cthulhu, the changes and nuances are all thematic and in fact I prefer this over vanilla Pandemic. I love the addition of the Sanity die, the various movement options, the Relics and how the Cultists and Shoggoths can move or summon to flip Old Ones cards faster. But at it's heart, you'll recognize the pure Pandemic gameplay.

Solo only (I always play with three characters). I really love this game. However, I have no opinion about the other games in the Pandemic series.

It's not bad, would definitely play again. I like the fact that it doesn't really get easier at any point. You can slow down the Old Ones but you can't really make the game significantly easier like you can by eradicating a virus in regular Pandemic. There are times where a Shoggoth appears and immediately jumps through a gate before you get a chance to respond, to me that's a really poor design choice and the second time that happened pretty much doomed the game for the family.
