I think the way the campaign work is bad

I like the campaign mode because you progress song per song. However, there is (according to me), a huge issue with the way the campaign work : there is no place for failure.

To progress, you need to win each song of the section in order to do the song with the modifier, and you also need to win the song with the modifier.

You just need one song that you are not able to win to block all the campaign.

I think the number of star to access the modifier song should be one star less than the total of song of the section, just to be sure to not be blocked by one song. Or maybe not, for normal song, it should not be too hard to win them all.

However, I think the huge issue is with song with modifier. If you have trouble with one modifier, you are stuck ! For exemple I have trouble with "small hand" modifier and I am stuck and I am not allowed to play the campaign. It's very annoying, because it's not the song that is hard, it's the modifier, and it prevent me to play normal song.

There should be a way to avoid this issue :/

The campaign is only useful for unlocking modifiers. If you aren't interested in playing with modifiers that make songs harder to get higher scores then the campaign is completely unnecessary. Just go to the freeplay to try out any song at any difficulty. Download the 600+ choreos on the ATCD discord. It's what you'll ultimately do when you're done with the campaign anyway.

Personally, I found playing certain songs over and over to be frustrating but ultimately rewarding as I tweaked my style to improve. I don't think I would have gotten as good at the game if it weren't for the occasional steep difficulty curve of the campaign. That said, 99% of this game can be played outside of the campaign, so when it's no longer fun then go do the non-campaign stuff!
