Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Oathsworn has a much stronger story but gloomhaven has a deeper character development. Personal preference is oathsworn by a mile
  • Oathsworn, great game, quite a few minis
  • Oarhsworn is great solo. I really enjoy it. I play with four full characters, and it's not cumbersome at all.
  • Once the FOMO passes, there will always be better games out there (like in my case Oathsworn, or Arydia, etc).
  • Standee Oathsworn seems like much better value… if that’s your jam.

Cons

  • Oathsworn is like this, but the bosses drop their *actual* weapons
  • My favorite solo game is Oathsworn, but a lot of other folks are lukewarm/hate it.
  • So everything else (Frosthaven, Oathsworn, ISS vanguard so far, and now playing Rove and Aeon trespass odyssey) is solo.
  • My main issue with Oathsworn is that I think the story and experience take center stage, replaying bosses is disappointing. The gear and upgrades are also disappointing. For my taste.
  • I found Oathsworn really dull and sold it after a few missions... writing was good but combat was both overly complex and way too repetitive and straightforward

If you are looking for a good narrative / adventure style game then you want Oathsworn.
