Hellboy
This is a pretty lightweight dungeon crawler that relies on the aesthetic of Mike Mignolias' comic book creation rather than a strong story narrative.
action based turns with dice rolling combat. each character has asymmetric abilities but there's not a huge amount of depth to each.
each scenario has you playing against a doom track which is counting down to an impending disaster while you hunt clues and investigate to track down the big bad for a final confrontation.
I find this one enjoyable to play when I want something light but do find the lack of story to be a bit of a turn-off.
also the retail version is extremely light on content compared to the kickstarter version.
pros:
will tick the boxes for any hellboy fans, lots of subtle nods here and there to the comics/GN
not a brain burner, doesnt require you to be at your best to play
cons:
retail version is missing a lot of stuff
not quite enough story for me
dice combat is quite swingy
