Gloomhaven is amazing on tabletop and on the PC. I feel like the PC version added a lot of great visuals to the game and made it feel more immersive, while also sticking to the original rules and game play. I'm not a console gamer, but if you are, I highly recommend it. Can be played solo or with friends.

I've only played the Jaws of the Lion version on tabletop but it's SO GOOD.

Jaws of the Lion is definitely easier to get into. The organization is all done for you. Opening the Gloomhaven box is a vastly different experience. It's like opening a box of Legos and wondering how the hell everything is going to go together. Literally had to go to a sporting goods store and buy fishing tackle boxes to organize everything!

This looks really cool game, I confused it with Gloomwood for a second lol

I really wanted to love Gloomhaven, but I honestly couldn't get into it - it was too faithful to the boardgame. I'm sure some people will love that, but it overall made for a sorta clunky feeling gameplay experience.

Plus, the difficulty is truly punishing. Don't be surprised if you fail the first mission.
