Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void

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]

An incredible conclusion to the Starcraft II saga: the new coop works great, and the game has equal appeal for veterans and newcomers alike. If you're even slightly into RTS, this is one you shouldn't really miss.

There's really something for everyone in this title regardless of your experience in RTS games, with a great story, heaps of different ways to experience the game's content for all skill levels and for those who want to be the very best, there's a gauntlet of tough opponents just waiting for you.

“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.

It’s just Starcraft, with some new additions here and there, but that’s all we were expecting, and it’s great.

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.

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.

Ну игра от тех самых близзард, что про нее сказать, она отличная. Но вот с Wings of liberty не сравниться, банальные само повторы. Это что касается кампании ,а если брать нынешней старкрафт с игротекой то чистая 10

Finished StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void. It closes the trilogy with solid ideas in mission design and notable replay value, but the overall result falls short of what one would expect from a saga of this stature. It is by no means a bad game; it offers good moments and genuinely fun mechanics. The main issue lies in how the story is wrapped up and an epilogue that, for me, undermines the whole experience.From a gameplay perspective, the Protoss campaign offers a good variety of objectives and situations that force the player to adapt. The Spear of Adun, which allows you to instantly deploy units almost anywhere on the map, opens the door to some truly enjoyable strategies. I admit that at first the Protoss did not appeal to me much, but this tactical twist gave the faction a lot of personality and strategic depth. Mission design is generally creative and succeeds in maintaining strategic tension; however, the balance is not flawless. During the epilogue, the game forces you to play again as Terran and Zerg in missions with higher complexity. If you played the Protoss campaign first or returned to the game after a long break, as I did, it is very likely that you will have forgotten key habits and shortcuts for those races, making the finale feel messy and somewhat **** the audiovisual side, the game delivers what the series has traditionally offered: clear unit models, readable battle effects, and a presentation that supports tactical clarity. That said, the cinematics did not fully convince me. They appear to be low resolution, almost like videos that failed to load properly, which reduces the dramatic impact of important moments.Narratively, the game aims for an epic conclusion but drifts into overly fantastical territory in a rather inelegant way. Without spoilers, the ending left me cold and, in my opinion, weakens the trilogy as a whole. The final scenes and the way several narrative threads are resolved felt unsatisfying and inconsistent with the overall tone of the story.Technically, the game performs well, with stable performance and a very polished RTS interface. The overall experience is solid, though it does not break new ground technologically. Replayability is one of its true strengths: modes, challenges, and the option to replay missions under different conditions add a lot of **** a final note, and not a minor one, I was surprised to find that the game has been turned into free to play. That in itself is fine. However, I discovered that a permanent internet connection is required even to play the campaign, which is an entirely offline experience. This is, at best, disappointing, as there is no logical reason to force an online connection for content that does not require it. The day Blizzard shuts down for good, I will dance on its grave.Overall, Legacy of the Void is recommended for fans of the genre and for followers of the saga who want to see how it ends, but it does not reach the masterful finale many were hoping for. Strong mechanics and very enjoyable moments are weighed down by an excessively fantastical ending and an uneven epilogue.

In some way it feels like StarCraft and just a little bit... rushed? I feel I just lack of something there.

Не имея возможности соотнести свой опыт с опытом главенствующей сюжетной фракции не получилось проникнуться проблемами, которые стоят перед подконтрольной нами расой. Фракция имеет свои уникальные геймплейные фишки, но ядро неизменно - потому лично мне утомительно. Готовность перетерпеть геймплей ради сюжета была, только сюжет не переставал падать в качестве, а в конце (Эпилоге), так вообще произошел какой-то быстрый сюр. Подозреваю, что разработка 2 и 3 дополнения шла в более сжатых сроках и многие вещи, которые можно было сделать лучше, были оставлены как есть, к большому сожалению. В сюжетном плане уж точно все выглядит как черновой вариант, а не отполированный хоть сколько-то скрипт. Увы

-Это наша последняя битва, друг мой. -Понимаю нам потребуется вся сила воли которая у нас есть. -Согласен, даже если мы погибнем о нас не забудут. Наши потомки запомнят нас как героев. -Здесь, с нами, будут бороться не только наши войны, но и наши предки. -Эн таро тосадар, мой друг. - Этнаро дос.... ааа хватит вы можите говорить быстрее. Какие же протосы скучные. Это их менталитет, все понимаю, но как же скучно их слушать. Убрали героя, добавили корабль с навыками. Еще одна альтернатива звездалетам и чудищам - кольцо адуна. Перепафосный финал. И не до пафосный финал-финал.
