I still remember when I first started StarCraft and watched the intro movie. It was so epic, my head almost exploded. The game was truly amazing. The dark atmosphere, the designs of everything, and the cinematics. It was an epic gaming moment in my life.
That was almost 17 years ago, and StarCraft II released in 2010. Unfortunately, StarCraft II just didn’t do it for me. Especially the atmosphere, and the cinematics were just not right to me. Too much colour and too much drama. It was different to say the least.
The gameplay, however, was solid, and I enjoyed playing the game. It all felt very familiar, and it had enough new things to keep it interesting. But it wasn’t the StarCraft II I was hoping for, unfortunately.
