    It is a very basic RTS with a lot of decoration and cartoons that mask there is nothing new here. Try the free trial if you are interested. Definitely don't spend money on this BS unless you have played the free trial.

    Why I buy a Starcraft, and I play in masses effect 3? It is plagiarism. Even Amun's bombing is very similar to bombing of the Reaper. I am very disappointed, after all it is the end of history and it has to be unique.

    Review: The newest addition of the starcraft 2 universe continues the last major race storyline. The game consists of very similar level designs to the previous installment, and although more repeatative than heart of the storm, the flow and feel of the levels is more refined.

    For those expecting a graphical experience this is very dissapointing. Any moving object has hard to look at lines during all types of cutscenes no amount of heightened graphic settings can fix how low polygon the models are and how low resolution the textures are. Beautiful backdrops and loading pages but the quality of the custcenes really ruins the immersion.

    For a game that already had most of the assets including a fully functional engine I would expect them to put more effort into the elements that they still had to work on. The level design is slightly better and the story feels more immersive than Heart of the Swarm, but worse than the first installment. Seems Blizzard has started cutting corners in the past 2 years.    … Expand

    A classic ending to a classic saga. Having played WoL and HoTS, I was pretty satisfied with LoTV. Very good campaign story, quite interesting lore and well-balanced levels make this game a classic ending to a classic series.

    My minor critiques:
    - For an ending sequel, I expected more majestic and grand-scale cutscenes, as I have come to expect from Blizzard.
    - Too many levels have 'destroy these three small structures to destroy this final big structure' theme. A bit more variety was needed for level types.
    - A longer campaign: I think another 4-5 levels were needed for the game. Ended a bit quickly. I'm saying this having also finished the epilogue.

    However, despite these critiques, the game is still a legend. I don't want Starcraft saga to end here though. After waiting 4-5 years, Blizzard should come up with Starcraft 3 series again, with a continuation to the story, rethinking game engine and and new mechanics.    … Expand

Now with LotV Blizzard finally committed fully to achieve a great campaign - and I can tell you, they succeeded! I especially loved the atmosphere, the characters and the way how they implemented upgrades / unit modifications. Additionally for SC II veterans there finally is some real challenge with the brutal mode, which actually is really brutal.

    On top of that Blizzard did extensive modifications and improvements to the multiplayer mode, which make LotV appear like a completly new game instead of just a mere add-on.

    In short my faith in Blizzard is re-established with LotV, which is the best RTS game out there.

    Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates polished high quality games.    … Expand

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was curious, so I ended up reading some of the negative reviews to see if I should reevaluate how I looked at this game after playing the campaign and looked into the newer additions to the game, co-op missions and whatnot. What I found seemed to be more about people who wanted this game to be something specific, like a StarCraft version of Warhammer 40K or a repeat of Brood War or otherwise people who wanted to be beat over the head with plot as opposed to having to pay attention as they play missions.

    Legacy of the Void touches on a lot of themes that previous installments have like the horrors of war, especially in the cut-scene with Artanis and Raynor talking among the graves of the fallen Marines and Kerrigans continued self-loathing regarding the people that she killed when she first became the Queen of Blades. The transformation motif is there as well, most obvious with Kerrigan, but also with the transformation of the Dominion in WoL and the Protoss with the severing of the Khala and the more thorough unification of Khalai and Nerazim Protoss as well as attempts to bring in the Tal'Darim (as well as the Purifiers) in to create a new, more tolerant version of the Protoss theocracy (most notably shown by the abolishment of the caste system).

    I will say that in terms of wrapping the series up, the Epilogue felt kinda rushed. The main campaign was about 16 or so missions long and it revolved around Artanis reestablishing the Protoss after Amon decimates it by mind controlling all Khala attached Protoss. Then, the culmination of one game and two expansions is over in three missions (and I suppose Narud/Duran is also a Xel'Naga, but is kinda brushed to the side).

    Altogether, if you like StarCraft, you should like this game. If you hated it, you were probably going to hate it no matter what they did. The story could be better, but I felt like the main campaign was engaging and introduced a lot of new stuff for the Protoss as well as shed some light on some stuff that was previously ambiguous. There could've been some improvements, but I felt like this was a very solid game.    … Expand

Thank you Blizzard in your care for this game, it was something us fans had been waiting for. My life for Aiur.

    Story:
    Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void starts with the war between Protoss and the Zerg. Protoss gather around their Homeworld of Aiur, to retake it from the Zerg. While they are fighting each other, Amon forces arrive and start to slay everyone. One world falls after another, and no one seems to be capable of stopping them. The Protoss are also forced to retreat, and leave the system to    Story:

While they are fighting each other, Amon forces arrive and start to slay everyone. One world falls after another, and no one seems to be capable of stopping them. The Protoss are also forced to retreat, and leave the system to fight another day.

    Legacy of the Void's story is a lot more darker and unpredictable than the first two games in the trilogy.. You can expect a lot of twists and turns in the game, especially towards first half of the game and during epilogue. The game features likable characters. From main character Artanis to supporting cast and favorites from older games, all have great personalities. Another thing that I liked about the story is that, almost every character gets the time to shine, both in story and gameplay. Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is satisfying end to Starcraft saga. Everything is answered and nothing is left open for sequels. This is THE END of the saga that started over 17 years ago.

    Design:
    Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is the longest game in the trilogy. It took me over 20 hours to finish the campaign. As expect there is a lot of variety in 25 missions of the game. The game really makes you feel like incharge of an advance race or Space Samurais. The number of Protoss is smaller than the Terrans and the Zerg but they are a lot more harder to take down, and they have superior technology and fighting skills.

    The game also features Co-op mode this time around, which is designed to encourage new comers to play the game online against others. Upto 2 players can play the game together. You can ask your friend to manage resources, while you command the army against your opponents. It's very useful for teaching new comers how to play when used properly.

    Some new units in the game also require more micromanagement than the others. Some of the previous units have also been re-balanced to force people to manage them individually. This re-balancing changes the way, the game is played compared to previous iterations. Now instead of making a large army to launch an attack on opponent's base, the game encourages players to send some of the units early for hit and run tactics. So, action happens a lot faster than before, especially in multiplayer.

    Gameplay:
    Formula is the same, that you expect from a traditional RTS. You gather resources, build your base, create an army and attack your enemy. The game offers number of primary and secondary objectives in each mission. Completing these side missions reward you by giving you extra reinforcements during the mission or by giving you Solarites, crystals used to power different abilities of Protoss flagship, Spear of Adun.

    Spear of Adun can have upto 4 Active abilities during gameplay and 2 Passive abilities. You can use them to help your units during mission. And since, there are only limited number of Solarites in the game, sometimes you will have to make few compromises to choose that one ability that you want to activate. It's a very clever way of giving you control of great technology, while not making the game too easy.

    Spear of Adun also act like your command center, where you choose your next mission, talk to other characters and upgrade your units. There are three versions of these units. You unlock these versions as you go through the story. Each version has its own strengths and weaknesses, so you can choose the version that suits your play style.

    There are also some missions, where you don't build your base or army. In these missions you take control of Heroes, and use their special abilities at the right time to defeat enemies. Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is a well balanced game. Protoss warriors have great technology but the game still offers plenty of challenge, and rewards creativity.

    Presentation:
    On Ultra settings the game looks great. Character models are highly detailed and well animated. The voice acting is also top notch. Important scenes in the game are backed by great performances and orchestral soundtrack. Sound effects are also top of the line, as expected. The game is a lot more cinematic than the first two games.

    There are way more cutscenes than previous games in the series. Some cutscenes are real-time, while others are pre-rendered. Both of these real-time and pre-rendered cutscenes look great. You visit number of different locations in the Starcraft universe, and all of them look unique and different from one another.

    Verdict:
    Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is a must own for everyone. It is a satisfying conclusion to an epic saga. Even if there is Starcraft 3 someday, I highly doubt we'll see these characters return in that game, and that's the saddest part. It's like being with a friend for a long time and then seeing him/her go away, never to return. It's beautiful and sad at the same time.

    A strong campaign for the protoss at last.
    the new multiplayer Co-OP mode is also a new evolution from the old ladder, removing anxiety and a better community with promises of more expansion soon.

    if i must say anything bad, it will be the epilogue's content should had been longer.
    but most games won't even give you 'bonus' epilogue content, so hard to subtract points there.

    I was there since start of beta.
    I read all patch note, for example adepts: since match 2015 they were op and blizzard didn't do anything about it, opposite to fix this unit they recently added upgrade for increasing their attack speed by 45% and remove upgrade for +30 shields and nerfed their shields about 30 which does nothing, now adepts are even stronger.
    I saw polt on stream, when    I was there since start of beta.

    I saw polt on stream, when he hasn't mmr yet and played in lower leagues, losing to protoss diamond repeatly, because this strategy is unbeatable, you can also start with pylon rush and mothership core and you kill like 2 depos or bunker and force baracks back rebuild addons, just insane dmg.
    Protoss's carriers are unbeatable unit, since they can release interceptors they trade for minerals gas units, you release them and then you pull them back.
    Especially with combination of tempest of ht, they beat every unit in game.
    Zerg has vipers, which are useless vs carriers, but they can kill 20 vikings like on one click and they zerg can win with broodlords, since you have no vikings and raven pdd was nerfed about 100 second and seeker missle now cost 125 energy, it takes ages to get it and then your opponent simple pull his units back and it does nothing.
    So noone build raven anymore, also zerg nydus is immortal so even you prepare for it you will lose, because queens which pops out instantly heal it.
    In addition, this game has pretty crappy engine, it doesn't even support multicore and it is old like 8-9 years.
    Which cause extreme cpu and gpu bottlenecking, you will be glad if you run this game on 60 fps lategame.
    I can't really micro properly on 60fps, i am used play everygames on 144 and even it is not enough.
    I can notice even 7 ms input lag according to blurbuster input lag ab test, so 60 fps feels like for me 25 fps for most people .
    This game should really be optimized since it is played by pro gamers. also balance is awful, like swarmhost from hots, or protoss favored map for blinstakers rush, which causes 2014 was protoss wining all tournaments.
    This is just very little piece of this game what is broken.
    I play 1-2 games sometimes because of multitasking, that's all.
    Also it doesn't cost even 30euro, how cheap it is, i was developed already 2010 or something, it doesn't change gameplay at all, only 2 units per race were added and it is still brainless clicker game, which oponent can click better and guess better, because protoss has 20 all ins and it is not scoutable, since he can proxy everywhere on map , or on base clifs and scan doesn't help, it is about luck, or reaper which can be easily killed before jumps on cliff, on some maps especially with only one entrance and even othermatches for example zvz is about luck as well.
    I would give this game -10 if there was possibility of that.

    It's a great RTS still the best available at this time. The campaign is not perfect story wise but it's very well put together, I think maybe the best of this series. The stand alone functionality and only being 40 seems like a good buy for someone who wants to see how a good complicated RTS plays.

    A fantastic single player campaign which managed to make even the most dull race seem interesting. Mission design and the unit upgrades just get better with each expansion. The only downside would be parts of the story which follow parts of the plot of WC3 very closely. Very interesting ending also - I wonder where the series will go from here.

    Definitely the best of the trilogy. The single player was actually a lot of fun since you weren't forced to commit to your units and strategies. This allows you to change your army and tactics depending on the mission. As usual, the plot blows. Blizzard insists on telling another space magic story where literally everything can be a **** macguffin because [reasons].

    Also, on top of the already great (albeit user provided) arcade, blizzard added a co op feature that is surprisingly entertaining.

    Multiplayer wise, the new economy is much faster lowering the windows for cheese but the game is still a **** round of russian roullete. Its a mess and some units are such brutal hard counters, its game over as soon as their within sight and you have no response.

    In summary, the multiplayer is still a mess but better.

    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.
