Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 is an RTS game created by Blizzard Entertainment. Originally announced on 2007, the sequel is actually a collection of 3 expansions released in different years with Wings of Liberty being the first in 2010, Heart of the Swarm in 2013 and Legacy of the Void in 2015.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This sequel is a huge improvement over the predecessor. From visuals, gameplay to balance.
 * 2) Stellar graphics that are quite impressive for a game made in 2010 and they still hold up well to this day.
 * 3) A more diverse and richer army selection. New units were given to the factions which helped gave them better counters in areas they lack. For example the Terran are given the Maruader a trooper who speciliases in Anti armour roles or the MULE a drone that mines faster than SCVs, Zerg gaining the Ravager needed to compensate the lack of artillery options and defence penetration, the Protoss are introduced to the Collusus which is intended to deal with large weak swarms.
 * 4) While most of the units from the previous title are unfortunely locked in campaign only, they are replaced by better new units that are more balanced than them. For example: Medic and Dropship were fused into the Medivac which is what you expect, a healing transport. Protoss's Dragoon was split into the Stalker a light walker that can teleport and the Immortal an upgraded Dragoon speciliasing in Anti Armour. Or the Zerg queen being changed into a land that specialises in base defence and Creep spread.
 * 5) LOTS of content. If the main campaigns weren't enough, then Blizzard provides even more bonus with Co-op campaigns, custom missions and not forgetting the community made content bringing more enjoyment.
 * 6) Very extensive campaign that is much more grander. The campaigns feature seperate routes that allow you to choose between specific units and upgrades as you progress and also enable interactions with characters.
 * 7) The pathfinding is much more optimised. Now units have better and smoother movement and responsively go to location you specified.
 * 8) Map design are now given new elements like tall grass you can hide, terrain obstacles that are destroyable.
 * 9) Thrilling story. You don't have to play the previous title to know what really happened.
 * 10) Like the first game, comes with a map editor but as expected much more improved over the original.
 * 11) Great mod support.
 * 12) On 2017, the game became free to play.
