Our first playthrough took a few hours as we had to keep referring to the rules and asking questions about each movement and interaction of the game. But now, this has turned into a fun game that can span family game night for about 2 to 3 hours on the weekends! Keeps us on our toes, and is a fin mix of multiple 'maps' in the game!
Let’s start by discussing the length of the game. If you are only playing 1-2 player or 2 handed solo, the game is about 2 hours not counting set up or take down. I think a 2 hour game is not that bad. However, once you play 4 to 6 player you are heading towards a long 3 to 4 hour session. However, you can easily shorten the game by tweaking the amount of clues or doom that are required to advance to the next step. Also, you can swap out a doom token for a blank token to make the game a little easier, which will shorten the game. This is called Story Mode which was officially introduced in a later expansion. Making these 2 modifications is great for a 4 player casual game night. I still don’t recommend more than 4 players unless you have to.
Second, some people argue the game is not as replayable due to the story driven scenarios. I play Mansions of Madness and Arkham Horror the card game many times. It is no different. Sure, the first playthrough may be more exciting since you do not know what to expect story wise, but each play through is unique and plays out differently with so many variables that change from game to game. It is like saying all board games without a story (example: Pandemic) are not replayable. Makes no sense.
Lastly, some reviews complain that there is a lot of upkeep in between actions. After the player action phase is the monster phase. You just move the monsters, deal damage/horror, activate ability. Takes about 10 to 20 seconds. You then do the encounter phase which I think is fun especially for a game night where other people read the encounter so no one can see the outcome if they choose A or B. I don’t really think of this phase as upkeep. The last phase is to draw tokens which will place doom on locations, spawn monsters, spawn clues.
These are the 3 most negative things I see people say about the game. If they don’t seem that bad to you, then I think you should get the game!
It is not what I would call easy to learn, but if you have a background in tabletop gaming it takes 2-3 hours the first game to get set up and learn the rules. After that it gets much easier.

Only buy it if your gaming area is well lit.
Lots of small pieces, some complicated rules, but hot dang it's fun!
Don't need to have a pre-existing knowledge of Lovecraftian Horror, as the story's are all self contained.
Great world building on the lore card really sets the scene.
2-3 hours play time per session, with great replay value means you can get multiple uses out of the game. Definitely good value for money (even if it's a little pricey up front)
Would suggest buying an insert for the box to improve the storage, as there is basically none as standard (3 zip bags)
