OpenCritic
The third chapter of StarCraft II trilogy that came out as a sequel to Blizzard’s bestselling science-fiction RTS. The last episode of the story is devoted to the most mysterious race in the StarCraft universe – the Protoss. You assume the role of the commander of this technically advanced faction, which went through significant evolution as compared with the first game released in 1998.
Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void is the third episode of the continuation of one of the most popular real-time strategy computer game in history. The first part of this series was released in 1998 and received an expansion pack called Brood War. The second installment consist of three episodes: Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void, all of which were developed by Blizzard.
Story
Legacy of the Void is the third part in the trilogy of StarCraft II. The player assumes the role of the commander of the powerful and technologically advanced Protoss, who have a very mysterious past. The campaign tells us about their adventures, focusing on the diplomatic aspect, so our task is often to resolve internal conflicts and look for compromises. Of course, more often than not, using a new, more powerful army.
Gameplay
StarCraft II in many respects resembles the original, because it did not change the essence of gameplay mechanics. However, the developers decided to split the game into three parts mentioned above. Each episode is devoted to one of three factions. Commanding Terran, Zerg and Protoss, we have to bring each of these races to victory, expanding the base, gathering resources, developing the technological capabilities and, of course, defeat the enemy. Each part of the game consists of several missions in which we take part in a story of a given faction full of twists and turns.
Protoss race really changed its fighting style. Their military has become much more mobile thanks to a completely new technology provided by the improved pylons. They allow you to teleport units as far as they can reach. Some representatives of this race also received an individual ability to teleport (Stalker). Movement speed of many other units was also increased (e.g. Zealots and Colossus).
Technology
One of the most notable features of the latest game is, of course, a completely new graphic design. The game utilizes the great capabilities of the new graphics engine, which is able to generate a large amount of three-dimensional and highly detailed units engaged in combat on great-looking maps. This solution allows you to freely manipulate the camera. The music, sound effect and taunts of every unit are also amazingly executed.

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Mick Fraser
A powerful standalone expansion that feels like a last hurrah for Blizzard's seminal RTS franchise.
Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10
A solid end to StarCraft II's five year journey, although beyond the co-op missions it offers no real clue as to the genre's future.
IGN: 8.9 / 10 by Rob Zacny
Legacy of the Void is the most fun I've had with StarCraft 2, perhaps because it's more mellow, and more generous with players who don't want to focus entirely on the elite competitive experience. It's a challenging RTS when you want one, but it also lets you have fun stomping AI with friends and trying out new toys. Legacy re that it's a game as much as it is an esport.
