8. They run in order; finishing one unlocks the next, and you can resume any mission's save from its page in the campaign menu.
How do stars and medals work?
Each mission can be won with one, two or three stars, or failed if a critical challenge is missed. Every mission also has an optional bonus goal that earns a medal.
Should I play the campaign first?
