    Great add-on brings a fantastic campaign, has the courage to conclude a very long story and bring many new features in multiplayer. [Issue #259]

    Legacy of the Void offers impressive storytelling with memorable music. Every story has to end like Legacy of the Void. En Taro Raynor! En Taro Kerrigan! En Taro Artanis!

    “No compromises” is the road Blizzard has chosen. Legacy of the Void is not a simpler game than its predecessors, it’s just much faster, and even more skill oriented than it was before. When it comes to the RTS genre Blizzard is still the emperor, and this game demonstrates it once again with an amazing and bulky single-player campaign, a lot of great extra content, and some brilliant changes to the competitive multiplayer structure. It’s not easy playing Starcraft II, but it’s worth it.

    An epic saga has come to the end it deserves. A satisfying and challenging campaign with great storytelling, fresh multiplayer experience with new units and balance changes, and two new game modes. There is enough fun content here to keep RTS fans occupied for a long, long time.

    While I’m still not entirely behind the idea of splitting Terran, Zerg and Protoss campaigns into three separate releases, I must admit that Legacy of the Void won me over. It has everything I expected it to have: addictive gameplay, solid plot, great characters, Blizzard’s trademark kick-ass cinematics, exciting campaign missions and a rich multiplayer package.

    It isn't perfect, but StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void allows the series to end on a high note, offering a comprehensive experience which should make every type of RTS player happy.

    Legacy of the Void is hardly a milestone in the RTS genre, but it is a nice bookend to the trilogy. Blizzard has finally fulfilled its promise to StarCraft fans.

Blizzard is the grandmaster when it comes to how to make single player RTS seem fresh and unique even though it is a RTS. Cinematics is top rate on their cut-scenes as well.

    But we know what is going to keep players playing this for a long time is the multiplayer and boy has blizzard revamped the multiplayer options like the new co-op missions, archon mod and the daily tournaments every 2 hours or so. I was very impressed they made it a point to update the multiplayer aspect of the game because it was getting stale by the end of Heart of the Storm. I give it a 10 because basically the culmination of years and years of testing that finally blizzard nailed it on the head the multiplayer aspect of game. The single player is worth the admission itself but the multiplayer is worth a lot more then what the price tag is because you will be playing this game for a very long time and that is what is going to give SC2 the longevity that some games lack.    … Expand

    I wasn't a big fan of the Wings of Liberty and HotS campaigns because they felt a bit too gimmicky to me. While I appreciate the creativityI wasn't a big fan of the Wings of Liberty and HotS campaigns because they felt a bit too gimmicky to me. While I appreciate the creativity behind their design, having one gimmick for each mission made them feel a bit restricted. In Legacy of the Void, the gimmicks take a supporting role and allow the macro and the destruction of massive enemy armies to shine, like they should. The LotV campaign feels like Brood War, but even more all-out. I absolutely loved every moment of it. The production values are of course once again through the roof. The campaign stands toe to toe for me with Frozen Throne as the best one ever designed for an RTS. Multiplayer will take a while to evaluate, but between ladder, co-op missions and the Arcade, there is an absolute ton of content here. Legacy of the Void is RTS like noone apart from Blizzard can make. Fast, bombastic and extremely polished.… Expand

    The campaign was satisfying to play through, all the controls are as polished and easy to understand as they have ever been in this series andThe campaign was satisfying to play through, all the controls are as polished and easy to understand as they have ever been in this series and there were no new systems to mess with that. The story reached what some may feel was its inevitable conclusion, with its irredeemable character being redeemed and the dark forces being defeated. Spoiler alert, if you see Tyreal's wings in your Starcraft, don't panic, all will be well.

    All the cut scenes have the usual Blizzard flair, all the dialogue has normal levels of Blizzard pomposity and exposition, the only complaint I would have about the main story is that it feels so good playing that it ends up being too short.

    The new Co-op feature is essentially a two vs AI scenario. I had been hoping for a two vs campaign mode - that's the only thing keeping this series from a 10/10 IMHO. Still, if you're reading this review because you're not sure if you should get the game, I'd basically say that if you played Wings of Liberty or Heart of the Swarm, this game is equal to either of them, and if you think the previous two were worth your money, this is as well.    … Expand
