    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. Первое дополнение имеет отличный старт, но к сожалению, по моим личным ощущениям, планка быстро падает с каждым дополнением.

    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.

    Starcraft 2 is the standard of strategy. This is probably the last masterpiece game from Blizzard.

    Absolutely everything was good in Starcraft.

    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.

    It's a shame they didn't take the script as seriously as they did the technical part. I played both parts already 10 times. The first part was much more serious and more mature, I would call it category R, ​​and the second part is PG-13.

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.

    Utterly immersive.

    Graphics are cock on, the audio is very good and the point and click gameplay using just a mouse for me is perfect. Tons of additional content in the form of levels and loads of ways to affect the gameplay.

    Still play this today.

    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.
    Apart from that, the campaign is actually great, with a lot of variations and a good progress mechanism.

The performance is also good I get over 300 FPS on ultra settings (Gtx 970, without V-Sync). The voice actors have down great work. I never had bugs. The first part/DLC is the three (Wings of Liberty), for me this is the best campaign of all, but the others are also worth it. But it if you like RTS games and like the future setting… Expand
