Personality aside, leading the Protoss as Artanis was definitely not a bad experience. After all, Zeratul and Alarak are great characters and we can see even less of their faces. Or maybe the voice acting should have been better. I know, I know, it’s hard to be charismatic when you’re incapable of too many facial expressions so maybe I’m being too hard on him. Sure, these days he’s a badass gifted with incredible powers (for some reason), but he continues to lack charisma, one of the most important qualities of a good leader. I’ve known Artanis ever since the first Starcraft and can’t say that I really like him, not even now. Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void puts you in the shoes of young Artanis, the new Hierarch of the Daelaam, otherwise known as the unified Protoss. Don’t get me wrong, there are a truckload of generic and repetitive missions here, but there are also some interesting plot twists, well-executed tear jerking moments accompanied by heavy nostalgia, and a feeling that what you’re doing matters more than ever because this time around the very fate of the galaxy rests on your shoulders. Nowadays that’s rarely the case anymore, but Legacy of the Void proves that the company can still come up with some good stuff even after all these years.

More on that later, though, because for now I really want to talk to you about the single-player campaign.īefore card games, Dota rip-offs and yearly expansions to an MMO that clearly should have died a long time ago, Blizzard was widely respected for one thing above all else – epic storytelling. Blizzard Entertainment has carefully crafted a story that manages to tie up all loose ends while also offering new game modes, new units and more for those interested primarily in the multiplayer component. However, all hope is not lost just yet because the best sci-fi strategy series of all time has returned for one last episode and it goes by the name of Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void.

Whether we care to admit it or not, the whole RTS genre has been on a downslope for the last several years and not only in terms of popularity but also when it comes to the number of good titles Or even bad ones for that matter.
