    I loved the original Starcraft and Brood war. And while Starcraft 2 is still good gameplay-wise and character-wise, the story is much worse. It feels like they wanted to get rid of the series. Wrap it all up and be done with it. Pretty stale and straight-forward, uninspired. No more twists, betrayals and interesting political situations, like the original story had.

    Overall The whole Xel'naga and Duran story-line mystery especially has basically been straight up thrown away. The story of Wings of Liberty is especially bland and the weakest of the 3.

    Pretty fun RTS game. Really enjoyed the upgrade systems and the involved campaign missions. Memorable story and characters, but overall campaign was pretty forgettable for me. Somehow feels like less than the sum of its parts.

    Отличный заход на что-то приземленное, хоть и в космическом сеттинге. Персонажи, их взаимодействия, вопросы возникающие по мере продвижения по сюжету - не оставляют равнодушным.

    Самая лучшая стратегия. Единственная проблема, что игру поделили на 3 эпизода, они хоть и длинные и тянут на отдельные игры, но все равно, это немного сбивает понимание сюжета.

    Probably the Blizzard's game with the most quality. Despite being Blizzard's answer to 40k, the design, story and world setting is really interesting. Complex mechanics make you enjoy the game after some time of training. This is not actually bad, but a matter of taste.

The first part was much more serious and more mature, I would call it category R, ​​and the second part is PG-13. It feels like the story of the first part is not ideal, but it was written by people with a level of knowledge comparable to university students .. It would seem that we have grown, they have too... Many naive works of art from our childhood grew up with us and began to acquire adult materialistic features or even rethought, without ceasing to be themselves, without losing the spirit of the original source. But not StarCraft. He not only remained in the same place, but also took a step back. Feels like the second part was written by schoolchildren. The game itself became brighter, the feeling of stuffiness disappeared, a large amount of children's humor appeared.
    An evil villain who is evil because he is evil, Prophecies, chosen ones, cosmic magic, abstract gods devouring worlds to which it is difficult to experience any kind of emotion, just as a person is not able to feel the distance in light years (since our biology was formed in conditions where this was not necessary), pink queen of blades, with a healthy complexion, neat eyebrows, hair styling and lip gloss with stilettos from a modeling agency called "swarm" ... if stilettos are her evolutionary advantage, then what does the world in which she exist look like? The world of strip clubs? Queen of our ... "blades". She is no longer a ruthless sociopath and manipulator, but a campy hysterical model from high society in Zerg.
    The first part is materialism, realism, and the second part is idealism and romanticism / classicism. The first SC is Terminator 1, 2, Alien 1, 2, Bladerunner and SC2 is Terminator 3, 5. This was the first time the game hurt me, the second time was BL3. In the opening videos Wol, Hots, LotV there is the spirit of the first part of the game, but in the game itself and in the rest of the videos, everything is much and much worse. And it's not the high cost of the videos, watch the SC: BroodWar videos. They are outdated, but they have a sense of danger, war, impending threat. The videos in the second part seem to be made by Hollywood. Secondary techniques, only proven methods. They seemed to come off the assembly line, as a result of the work of a raw neural network, and not of people.    … Expand

    The best RTS that ever existed. Period.

    They don't make games like this anymore. Now that Blizzard has been merged with Activision, there's no hope that Blizzard will come up with any game with an ounce of finesse and decent story.

    Guess I'll play this to the day I die.

    My only complaint about Wings of Liberty is the scale of the campaign story. In Starcraft and Brood war, 3 races were fighting for supremacy of the sector. Here, you're a small rebellion fighting for scraps.

Por partes, primero la campaña, a nivel jugable es superior a la del primer Starcraft, eso es todo, sin ser sobresaliente es mas que aceptable aunque poco rejugable y con excesivas escenas de video (ambas cosas típicas de los juegos modernos) por otro lado es una verguenza que solo se maneja a una facción. En cuanto a la historia de la campaña, es una autentica basura en comparación con la del Starcraft original y su expansión Brood War, se centra demasiado en los personajes (la absurda historia de amor de Reynor y Kerrigan) y olvida lo importante, las facciones. Por culpa de la historia, las decisiones narrativas, la banda sonora, el apartado sonoro (voces y sonidos de las unidades) y el estilo artístico del apartado gráfico se ha perdido la ambientación oscura de ciencia ficción del primer Starcraft y SC2 en cambio parece mas bien una pelicula moderna de Disney, un enorme destrozo en comparación con su antecesor.

    Y en lo que atañe al modo multijugador, en muchos aspectos no es ya que no haya innovado es que es un paso atrás respecto al primer Starcraft ¿dónde están las grandes batallas entre ejército? ¿dónde quedaron las batallas de micreo intensivo entre los jugadores? ¿dónde están esos juegos que se van ganando poco a poco y en el que se ven muchas expansiones y pequeñas refriegas por todo el mapa? Nada de eso queda, este juego perdió todo eso y parece mas bien un piedra papel o tijera, se resume en elegir un orden de construcción para ganar la partida, matar recolectores y batallas entre bolas de la muerte, si, las unidades se apelotonan de una forma ridícula y además se pueden meter todas en un solo grupo de control, esto favorece especialmente a Protoss ya que tiene unidades fortísimas y un ejercito protoss junto con unidades vergonzosas como el Colosos es casi invencible. En cuanto a diseño del gameplay SC2 es una vergüenza, las deathballs son una vergüenza y es una vergüienza que a partir de recolectar de tres bases las adicionales no te proporcionen un aumento de recursos ni ventaja sobre el rival, mas bien es un problema por la extrema dificultad para defender la expansión, por cierto ¿he hablado de las macromecánicas? Terran puede lanzar un recolector mecanico gratis que le aumenta brutalmente el ritmo de recolección de minerales, Zerg ya no necesita muchas bases le basta una reina que injecta larvas y que además pone unos tumores que expande el creep (un maphack legalizado), protoss invoca las unidades de los portales en cualquier pylon (te puede colocar un pylon al lado de tus bases) y tiene un acelerador que le permite sacar mas rápido recolectores o unidades de ataque.

    En fin, SC2 es una basura, un juego sin alma, puro humo, y con un multijugador que es PEOR que el de su antecesor que salió 12 años antes. Esta mediocridad de juego siendo generosos no merecería mas de un 6/10, pero como está extremadamente sobrevalorado le voy a dar un 1/10.    … Expand

I can definitely see why some people would be less than impressed with the gameplay. I haven't played a ton of MP, but it seems most of your attention is spent on building and teching properly. You're essentially just trying to amass a blob quicker than your enemy so you can wipe them out in one sweep, with rushing being the sort of tactic that either wins or loses you the game. There's virtually no grand scale strategizing and the unit's overall low time to kill makes micro managing counterproductive unless done incredibly quickly.

    I've mainly just been playing the co-op modes and campaign, especially since most of the community at this point is god-tier. For being an 8 year old game at the time of writing, I'm actually really impressed with how much quality and content this game has. The graphics have held up well, though the units are all quite small, meaning you can't really see much in the way of detail anyways. The cut scenes are plentiful and are very high grade ascetically, giving them a distinct movie quality. These days devs, (due to cost cutting publisher execs), generally try to avoid cut scenes altogether. So getting really crisp, sci-fi cinema is a real treat.

    I understand that the campaign won't be for everyone, (especially if you find the SC gameplay boring), but they've done an objectively stellar job on fleshing out the campaign with quality content. As you'd expect, the story is built around the gameplay, meaning it's relatively generic and filled to the brim with tropes and cliches. (I found the main character's romanticized alcoholism pretty cringey, but again it's another trope). You'll notice the universe has a western vibe very similar to Firefly and sci-fi elements that parallel closely to Warhammer 40k, but I personally don't have an issue with this since SC undoubtedly maintains it's own creative spin. Characters, though fairly generic overall, are likable and fit well with the plot. What I really liked is how in between missions you can talk with the various characters you're working with, potentially giving you a more personal connection with them. Despite their noticeable lack of depth, I couldn't help enjoying them anyways because of how they're depicted with having flaws alongside their grit and comradry. I thought this conversation feature to be a really nice touch given how RTS's often cheap out on fleshing out their campaigns.

    If you find the gameplay enjoyable, then you'll notice how well done the missions are. Each map is distinguishable, being set in a wide range of worldly environments. Though the primary formula is usually to build a base and defeat X, each mission involves it's own set of narrative objectives that have their own twists to accomplish, with optional side objectives to complete if you want to keep things interesting. Some missions involve controlling heroes with special abilities and though I found these missions to be fairly easy, they were fun and memorable. While the plot certainly accommodates for the creative gameplay designs in ways that are extremely unrealistic, even for a sci-fi setting, the two still synergize really well. Overall, I was amazed with how effectively the devs were able to come up with different spins that make each mission it's own.

    Lastly, there's a lot of substance put into differentiating the three races. The terran have a combination of components seen in a plethora of other sci-fi universes, such as mechanical armor, mechanized walkers and troop drop pods. Their build elements mirror that seen in other RTS games. The protos, an alien race, remind me a lot of Halo's covenant or 40k's eldar, with their advanced technology, shielding and arrogant demeanor. Their units and build functions are in some cases considerably different from the terrans.

    The zerg though just blow me away. They're very similar to 40k's tyranids in their overall design, but the craftsmanship put into them is incredible. Each unit is distinct, and appropriately disgusting to look at with their insectoid appearances. A lot of their units have very unique functions and the way their build system works is not only inventive, but perfectly fitting for the bio-technological theme they have. I couldn't get over how much I enjoyed playing the zerg campaign, (additionally priced DLC), and how much their play style aligns with the game's horde focused functionality.

    The additional DLC campaigns feature the same content excellence and polish seen in the first. I bought them all at half price and they're all well worth it. If you didn't like the terran campaign, then you won't like them either, as it's really the exact same formula with new characters, a continuation of the plot and more of the ingenious level designs.

    Overall, SC2 is filled with grade A content and holds up well even today.    … Expand

    I've also picked up the game again not so long ago and I've played it in co-op, single player, versus AI and multiplayer.

    It's not that great anymore. I used to love it but after playing about a dozen co-op games, I've realized that it is exactly the same thing again and again and again. The same build order, the same strategy, the same moves. It is like chess without the mental stimulation. Once you find a strategy that works, you keep repeating it and that's about it. The entire idea of multi-player or co-op (especially co op) comes down to mastering three or four build orders and then massing your troops against your enemy.

    The single player is not that great either. At the time it was launched, it was great. There was nothing like that. A single player with units you can upgrade, multi-path missions, a story-line (even if it wasn't that great) and a feeling of grandness was something impressive in 2010. But in 2017, it feels extremely generic, downright boring and a waste of time.

    I've finished the game eventually. I am sure it is a great e-sport game but I am the kind of person that prefers single player. So from a single player perspective, once the novelty wears off, it is not that a brilliant game.    … Expand

    The game has amazing graphics. The game itself contains such content that all RTS players crave for and an amazing economy system, the units we're amazing to discover. Trust me, its a great RTS Game.

    This game receives much higher praise than it really deserves. It says alot about the current RTS when this is hailed as one of the best RTS games out there.

It says alot about the current RTS when this is hailed as one of the best RTS games out there.

    The first place really to start from is the single-play (although no one really buys this game for the single-player). There is no real discussion about this, the single-player is a half-assed tick in a check box to get more players playing the game. It is filled with uninspiring levels and a generic sci-fi "story-line" if it can even be called that. The 2nd expansion also lives up to this low standard.

    The real reason people buy this game is to play with friends, play the arcade or play competitive multi-player. Competitive multiplier is a strange breed of RTS. It is more of a "RT" as there is no real strategy involved in winning. The most important aspects of succeeding in the multi-player is executing build orders and having perfect timing on micro and macro and having the APM (how fast you can do stuff in the game) of a god. Even on the highest level professionals win through micro rather than strategy. Never have I heard a game commentator say "what an amazing strategy" or "player X just can't compete with this flawless strategy" etc... It is really a de-evolution of the RTS genre to appeal to a wider audience.

    The arcade I do have to admit is fun but here is the good news, Its 100% free!

    To conclude, don't buy this game; simply get the free trail (that lasts forever) and play arcade the whole time!    … Expand

    I bought this game for the single player and wasn't disappointed. Story is decent enough, the combat is really fun and it's technically well made all around.

    Great RTS game. I spent months training to get better at this game and still couldn't make it to Master league. There's a single-player compagin too, but I never saw it myself, I just bought this game to play the best multiplayer RTS available today.

    If you are into real time strategy in any form, it's hard to ignore Starcraft II.

    Perfectly balanced multiplayer with old school elements intact, and rich and dynamic single player campaigns. [Issue#244, p.102]
