Somehow, Blizzard has managed to make Starcraft 2 feel instantly familiar, while still keeping the entire game feeling fresh and new. Strategy games such as Civilization 6 or Total War: Three Kingdoms are arguably just as good, or even better, but these are $60 games.Įchoing my feelings exactly, Destructoid said: Despite some objections to Blizzard’s original pricing structure and complaints about the lack of LAN multiplayer, Starcraft 2 was a huge hit when it came out.Īnd that was before Starcraft 2 became a free-to-play game, including the single- player human campaign, skirmish mode, and multiplayer modes. If you’ve already gotten the impression that Starcraft 2 is a pretty great game, you’d be correct. One of the strong points of the original was its engaging story told in short cutscenes, and that continues in the sequel with even more detail and interactivity.
First things first, is the game any good?Īs in any RTS, you spend much of your time gathering resources and building and upgrading your base and your army before going out to accomplish the goal of your particular mission.
