StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

Our analysis

The Zerg campaign offers 20 lovingly crafted missions that ease in newcomers while letting veterans ramp up the difficulty, with Kerrigan evolving into a devastating hero and the new ability to evolve unit strains adding real strategic depth. It handles hundreds of units on screen without lag and pairs with a massive multiplayer suite of co-op, ladder, and custom maps. Blizzard's cutscenes remain unmatched, making it a terrific buy, especially as part of the full StarCraft II package.
