    While still amazing and enthralling, I didn't quite feel that legacy of the void delivered the same level of impact and amazingness that Heart of the Swarm or Wings of Liberty did. It's still a fantastic experience, but it's not quite on par with the other two entries.

    Starcraft II Legacy of the Void is a fitting conclusion to the Starcraft II trilogy. Blizzard once again proves its talent for crafting a compelling RTS campaign. I won't lie. There are some very strong emotional beats in this game and Blizzard's excellent cutscenes deliver it with their customary flair.

Blizzard once again proves its talent for crafting a compelling RTS campaign. I won't lie. There are some very strong emotional beats in this game and Blizzard's excellent cutscenes deliver it with their customary flair.

    The mechanics are largely the same and the structure is similar to Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm. You have branching mission paths that allow you to choose which you want to take. As a result you earn new units which can then be augmented further into different variations. These variations offer an incredible level of control over the make up of your forces and allow for new tactics.

    What I liked the most about Legacy of the Void was just how different each mission feels. The objectives are varied and present some tense moments. All of these factors come to make one satisfying package that caps off SCII.    … Expand

    This trilogy have become a very big breath of very fresh air in the strategy genre. I would say that for me it is the best real-time strategy about battles.

The continuation of the cult story of the first game, made in a new, very beautiful and stylish graphics. All movements, animations, sounds and music are made at the highest level as Blizzard only can do. The plot and cut-scenes of the game make you constantly watch and delve into, like a some good movie or book. Such a strategy seems to be for the most part in a single structure (battles on a limited area in the form of a map), but many levels in this game are something unique with their own ideas. And the rest, what are just battles with the bases, are still made so, that they are never boring, and you do not think that they are similar. In this game, absolutely everything is perfect. And I would give that third part rating 11 if I could, because I like Prottos race, and I was very pleased with the implementation of their culture and technology in that game. Grate power in beautiful architecture.… Expand

Ich kann nicht sagen was man in diesem Genre besser machen sollte. Das gilt auch für beide Erweiterungen und somit auch dass von mir gespielte LotV. Das ist aber eben auch das Problem. Alles muss sich an Starcraft messen lassen und wer misst sich schon gerne mit jemanden der als perfekt gilt. Somit hat sich das Genre damit wohl leider selbst gerichtet indem Blizzard eine perfekte Version erstellt hat.… Expand

    It is the culmination of Starcraft II. It's hard to master. The multiplayer is polished.

The ever-shifting balance between the 3 races was the great thing about Starcraft and Broodwar. That is completely lost in SC:II, and the overall direction of the campaign feels just lazy in comparison.
    Still... at the end of the epilogue, once I realised this was the end of a story that started more than 15 years before, I felt a great void and sadness that there would be nothing after, like never in a video game (the last achievement is aptly named "end of an era", if you have any doubt).
    Luckily it continues with the multiplayer, and the new co-op modes are a lot of fun.
    If you're interested in RTS, the whole SC II remains the reference and despite the disappointing story, it is great value.    … Expand

    If you like competitive-based real-time-strategy with focus entirely on effective warfare, this game might be for you! If you can deal with the science-fiction-based theme too, just get it right now!    … Expand

    Final 3/3 part of a good game. Loved the ending of the story! Also My fav faction are the protoss :P, My initial and over time rating might not have been this, but currently as I am still playing some custom Direct Strike, I have to admit, that not everything falls with blizzard practices nowdays...

    My initial and over time rating might not have been this, but currently as I am still playing some custom Direct Strike, I have to admit, that not everything falls with blizzard practices nowdays...

    It's realy hard describe the game, because now its considered to have outdated graphics, etc. BUT as I have played the 1.st Starcarft and Broodwar expansion, I was thrilled to find out what happens in the story, and overall I think this is one of the best RTS games out there...
    I mean when I was a kid I played Age of Empires 2 as well, and that's even MORE outdated...also I'm not playing that anymore, but I do play Starcraft 2. So that might tell something...

    Conclusion: You just have to trust me and the others, when we say play this game! Also recommend to play the 1.st one as well.

    KARMA. After I wrote this, in came 5.0.0. Looks very promising, and it might go 10/10 because of it...    … Expand

    Starcraft is a good game, but there are some thing what is very bad.

    In my personal experience, surviving in the MOBAs era has been a tough challenge for RTS games as a whole, as most MOBA games take away or heavily modified the 'Resource Management' and narrow the number of units to control to around one for the game to be more approachable on a wider range of players from different skill level.

To be fair, RTS games usually feel overwhelming at first and require a good amount of dedication - both actively learning and playing if you want to play them competitively. In conclusion, if you have a passion for RTS games as a whole, SC2 is a highly recommended choice for your leisure time.

    Overall, in my point of view, it is incredible to know that SC2, and its competitive scenes have been standing strong through the test of time. I have high hopes that SC2 will still be enjoyable by the coming generations for its core concept of RTS.    … Expand

    The single player campaign is very good, lots of variety and how a mission is done. 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.

    SC2 has it all. A fast action packed gameplay, great complexity and unit variety, responsive controls and custom maps, coop as well as good MMR system.

    Easily one of the top 50 games of all time, SC2 has been the go-to realtime strategy game for over a decade and for good reason.

    The StarCraft II finale offers a decent but not breathtaking campaign and some tweaks to the multiplayer which now promotes quick, aggressive expansion. [01/2016, p.66]

    This generous package will sustain and deepen the competitive side, but Legacy Of The Void also does enough not to scare away the casuals once the closing credits role and multiplayer beckons.

    Overall, I can easily recommend Legacy of the Void to any current StarCraft II player, and if you're new to StarCraft II then now is the perfect time to jump in and experience the full story arc. Blizzard has once again managed to add to an already great existing game, making it better and more complete without breaking anything that made the game great in the first place.
