"In utter darkness" and "All-in" aren't that bad once you figure out wich unit to mass (VR's w/ upgrades for "In utter darkness" and banshee's for "All-in" if you went no air).
Sure you might need a couple of tanks and PF's to make the defence abit easier on "All-in" but other than that its not a problem.

The hardest achievement (or rather the most boring/the one that takes the longest time to get) is in my opinion Lost Viking:Gold.

I tried massing VRs in the first attempt but there were just too many zerglings that it didn't work as well as it does in multiplayer, found colossi to be much better

Mass both, you're not really limited.

Campaign is easy, even on brutal. If you want somewhat of a challenge, aim to get all the achievements(hard) in brutal. Some are actually pretty hard and annoying to do. Other than that, I don't think there's much to find challenging in campaign.

I originally played the game on Hard while trying to go for the achivements. Normal is WAYYYY too easy unless you are really new to RTS. Having any RTS experience, you should start out on Hard w/ achievements (hit F9 in game to see them).

Brutal is about 2 steps harder than Hard. I'd recommend Brutal for Platinum/Diamond players. Maybe high Gold players can do it.

I'm a gold/silver player, and I've only got 1 mission left on Brutal difficulty. Except some really annoying missions, like Supernova and Engine of Destruction, the rest was remarkably easy for the difficulty setting.
After bashing my head against the Odin for a while, I decided to cheese my way to victory, blocking the Odin with Siege Tanks while destroying the other bases, and attacking the first base right away in Supernova, to avoid that first attack against me.

All In was really easy, as I eliminated the fliers, and took the Psi Disruptor.
Nuke the Merc building, and mass Siege Tanks at that roughly that location = instawin.
Didn't even bother to kill the Nydus worms. Everything was obliterated in half a second anyway. A stimmed M&M ball was enough to kill the Queen of Blades, with some tank support.
In the end I had 40 Siege Tanks gathered around in the middle, and I also had 4 SCVs at each end, along with 2 Psi Disruptors, nothing came even close to my tanks.
Used the artifact everytime the Queen of Blades came to ease the damage of my M&M ball, but I could've probably done without it for the most part.

The Artifact had like 500hp when it reached 100%, but that's only because I didn't watch over it.
Maybe most of the damage came from the splash damage of the Siege Tanks? lol (Even with the 75% reduction :p)

Now to continue banging my head to In Utter Darkness...
Need more Colossi!

I found super nova to be really easy, just make a few tanks, some vikings and standard MM ball and that first base is a cakewalk, the collosi are the only hard part. The rest of the bases are easy from there IMO, I didnt make any extra banshees just tanks marines and medics.

Also pick spectres, I blindly picked ghosts cus the mission was funner and i thought they were the same as in multiplayer, as it turns out they DONT have EMP *facedesk, instead I could've had AoE stun and mega snipe
