My favorite part of this video is Colin scolding people who haven’t seen the Matrix. Pot, meet kettle!
Buhahaha!!! I've seen the good movies at least! 😁😁😁
Any real Matrix fan knows they’re only 4 movies: The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions and of course, the Animatrix, and nothing else. We’re never gonna talk about the Matrix Resurrection.
Hehehe!!
OMG, OMG, I'm soooo excited for this! The Matrix is my all time favourite movie. Missed you Colin, great to see another of your playthroughs :)
It's one of my favorites too! Thanks so much for watching!!
This was an excellent play-through!
I’m glad you continue to review systems that have been around for a bit. I would happily watch more Legendary/Arkham/Marvel etc.
Take care!
Thanks, will do!
Very excited for this game. Love all Legendary Encounters games. When I heard about The Matrix as the next installment, I was over the moon. Great playthrough!
It's so good!!!
Thanks for the playthrough, Colin! I love seeing all of the Legendary implementations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Colin, love your play throughs! would love to see the next two of this one.
Thanks, will do!
You had a significantly easier time than we did! And holy insanely high amount of attack you had at the end to jump up MULTIPLE places in the time track! Our highest attack we ever reached was 13.
Three players.
One of us kept getting amazing recruitment hands without being able to leave the Matrix. That caused at least four useless turns for just that player in the mid to late game.
You were able to capitalize on so many more combos than we were able to. Especially Mouse. We had two of those in one person's deck, and it activated ZERO times throughout the game. Another player had the Coordinate with that icon, and that also did not align. There was maybe one other card with that symbol that came up.
We were also not able to defeat many of our starting cards because we only found one We Think You're Bugged before mid-game (when we were taking multiple hits and not drawing useful hands).
Healing cards took forever to show up, so we were all at high damage.
We were never able to have more than a single empty space in the Matrix row at a time, except once where two were free because one was an Event.
We gave up trying to do the jump, and multiple Act 3 cards kept appearing, so we just skipped it and moved the Act forward. (We would have lost at this point anyway if we hadn't introduced a house rule that the Speed is added to our max Health.)
I was Neo, and I was finally able to use my ability a total of ONE time at the end because of a single Blind card (a Strike).
And then the endgame section is simply impossible with the Double Strikes and the fact that the player stuck in the Matrix receives SIX STRIKES PER OTHER PLAYERS' TURNS. We barely won using an immediate house rule that the Agents do not Double Strike. I think later playthroughs will have another house rule that the Agents do NOT attack the Matrix player on the real world players' turns. That's simply ridiculous. If we didn't do that rule, the Matrix player would have had only ONE endgame turn. That's it.
I'm guessing we just had a horribly unlucky game. Then again, our first two Legendary Encounters: Alien games were similarly difficult but less unlucky.
I'm pretty sure Agent Brown does not give Neo a strike . . . 19:22 Strikes happen in phase 3 before cleanup phase 4 and Neo only moves back to the Matrix after his turn ends. So I think, unless I'm mistaken, Agent Brown during the Strike phase does not find Neo because he is in the real world during the Strike phase? Great playthrough as always, Colin! Love this game!
Paul!!! So great to hear from you! You know that's a great point it just felt thematic that he couldn't escape the matrix, but from a game perspective I totally agree. I'll make a note!
Loved your video Colin!
Thanks so much!
That “ no like this “ of Switch just killed me, this scène litteraly trumatised me when y was younger. This game is awesome
DUDE Totally! That was such a rough scene!!
@@OneStopCoopShop how do you feel
About this game ? Do you like the two hands solo ? What about replaibility?
At around 1:01:58 you had Neo play 2 "Your Men are already Dead" red Trinity cards, meaning you would've drawn 2 additional cards, not 1. Also I believe that acts and parts resolve first before you are forced to end your turn, so both act 2 rewards would've been put on top of the deck before you draw your hand of cards, though I might be mistaken.
I hope they'll release a Matrix Resurrections expansion.
That would be cool!
Just did my first play through of this, but I didn’t understand that Neo could actually get to the real world in the beginning of the game to recruit, so I kept him in the matrix until the start of act 2. Maybe that’s why I lost a bit earlier than I usually do in the other LE games…
I own Marvel Legendary and a lot of expansions. I don't own any of the encounters sets (curse you Firefly art!). Watching this playthrough makes me really want to get this one. The Matrix is one of my favorite movies and the gameplay has some interesting changes compared to the Marvel Legendary.
Dude I love the matrix that's why I picked this one up! Hope you give it a go!
I have played through basically everything for Legendary Alien and thought I was done with the legendary stuff and didn't need anything else, but this looks awesome!
It's so good!! I think it's the best encounter box to date!
@@OneStopCoopShopReally? I love X-Files because it's difficult enough even for 2 players and it has an awesome hidden buying card row mechanic...
Was just going to your channel to comment on your last video that it was long time since I saw you. And then i find this 😮! Wc back 🎉
YES Finally back from a month or so of a vacation, kids getting sick , etc. ALL THE GAMBIT! :) Thanks for commenting!
Nice playthrough. Your pace and the way you approach the game is one of the best out there.
I have LE Aliens + expansion. Not sure if I need this one in my collection. It looks very easy and with not much replayability. What are you thoughts on these aspects?
Cheers
Good question! So I lost this scenario 1 time and won the other 3 times. I hear the other 2 scenarios are harder but I haven't tried it. I think if you love the theme it's a no brainer, but otherwise I'm not sure it's worth the money with only 3 scenarios in the box. Hope that helps!
@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for your inputs, Colin. I do love the movies and the IP, but I am still on the fence.
*I love the first movie and I enjoy 2 and 3. The last one is an aberration.
Cheers
Chase just moove the agent one time, not two. The card moove two spot total if the card was push by another card before chase abiliy trigger
Better way to explain it!!
Nice one, Colin. Love The Matrix! Still remember going to see it in the theater and being blown away. Game mechanics seems really fun.
I feel the art for this one is kind of Firefly tier though. Another game I enjoy in spite of the art. Really wish they would spend a but more on the art for these to get higher quality stuff. A few cards look good, but a lot of them just pull me out of the theme.
Thanks for watching and yes the at could be better for sure!
I haven't seen/played all the Legendary games, but this one seems to have more set aside cards and acts than the ones I'm familiar with. Reminds me of the acts and agendas from Arkham LCG.
Oh yeah I agree. It gives more unknowns due to it too! Which I like. Also really enjoy how thematic it is!
Wow didn’t even know about this.
I have Alien, Predator and The X Files. Great game, love the art in these games. Only disappointing thing for me was still shots used in The X Files version not art.
I didn't know they did that for x files. Trying to decide if it's worth getting that one if it's not a theme I know much of. Thanks for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop They did that because Firefly is the ugliest game art of all time.
@@SeerMagicX Exactly. Firefly is very ugly.
Ohay I've been looking forward to seeing how this game goes.
Hope you enjoy it!!
@@OneStopCoopShopto be perfectly honest, I was so worried about this game because I've always wanted The Matrix card game and this is the first and only one there is. But the legendary rules seem to apply just elegantly enough that the theme wraps into it without making it complicated. I can definitely play this with non-heavy gamers who just wants to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
That, and your explanation is very clear. Thank you.
Is Apoc a playable character?
Apoc is a playable character!
Love this! Will you do the X-files
I did a review of the X-Files set several years ago. ruclips.net/video/cov2gSKg_jc/видео.htmlsi=koRM1j9v_o7ozEpi
Colin isn't with the channel anymore, and I don't own that set anymore, so I don't think a playthrough is likely. Sorry!

So glad they used artwork over screen caps. I hate screen caps and refuse to buy any game that uses them.
Totally!!
Colin!
Sara!!!
Hi Colin!
There is a possibility to do mix and match with thé scénario for more reaplaibily like in aliens, or not ?
You can mix any of the parts together they say!
Is this fully cooperative? I know sometimes these Legendary games are only semi-coop. Thanks for the video.
This is fully coop but there is a traitor mode if you want
I do not! I love fully coop games and if it were up to me, that is all I'd ever play. @@OneStopCoopShop
That's where the branding difference comes in. "Legendary" games are semi-coop, while "Legendary Encounters" are fully coop.
I already got aliens and x-files but this is so tempting
Is x files worth it? I've never seen the show but I love this system. Let me know!!
Its definitely worth it if you watched the x-files show because the game is very thematic.
Coolest part of the game is that every card enters face down (yes even the cards that you want to recruit) because there might be enemies in there!
OK I really like that!!
Same with Alien Encounters
On witch website could i by this ? When it would be sell in the commerce ?
Nice gameplay!!
Should be available now! boardlandia.com/products/legendary-marvel-dbg-matrix-dent-and-ding?variant=40754591596623¤cy=USD&srsltid=AfmBOop1GW-ybqyo-R1-SojEImUoQbmXuJc5HPwF0nYHirzw1MHzEmRXqFY
@@OneStopCoopShopthey ship only in UN , Im from Europe 😞
@@OneStopCoopShopdo you know some website that do ship to Europe?
But aren’t they all basically the same game ,
But with a different theme?
Each adds its own mechanical changes, but sure, the core system remains mostly the same
where can you buy the play mat?
It comes in the box!
16:26 Doesn't it coordinate 3 Attack, but cost 6?
Yup!
@@OneStopCoopShop Okay, cool. It had been a while since I played Legendary Firefly or Marvel, so I wondered if I'd forgotten how that worked. XD
Not like to get this version. I have way too many expansions in Marvel now to ever need to buy another Legendary anything.
Sorry for the confusion yeah that's the cost. It coordinates with 3 attack!
Since you bought the 8 cost card you shouldn't have then put the Neo hero cards in the deck. Complete that card on a future turn or put the 8 cost card back then shuffle hero cards into deck not both (isn't that cheating the game technically? )
I am not sure honestly! It says you may so too me you get to decide!
Great game, I want it. However, for such a dark movie, the cartoony artwork is totally out of place. Very odd.
The entire legendary encounters series has “questionable” art at best 😅
Hmmm, I think after X-Files I wouldn't buy any LE game with the buying card row revealed. I really the reveal mechanic in LE X-Files....
I get it!
world would be a better place if Matrix 4 was never made
Haha!! Don't disagree!!
I totally disagree. Matrix 4 was VERY enjoyable to me. To each their own. 😊
@@casey5542 I've heard it's very polarizing, but I'm still curious to see it :)
