People rank Civilization V way higher and it's a slower, gentler game overall, funny how that works.

About StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a science fiction real-time strategy game and the sequel to the original StarCraft. Set four years after the events of Brood War, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. The single-player campaign focuses on the Terrans, following Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. The campaign is non-linear, with players taking missions for money and using those funds to buy additional units and upgrades between missions aboard the battlecruiser Hyperion.
The game features competitive multiplayer with a matchmaking ladder system, a map editor for user-created content, and support for three playable races with distinct units and abilities. Wings of Liberty has been free-to-play since November 2017 and was followed by two expansion packs: Heart of the Swarm, focusing on the Zerg, and Legacy of the Void, focusing on the Protoss.

I keep going back and forth on this one, because on one hand the campaign missions are genuinely creative and they throw new mechanics at you constantly, but on the other hand the multiplayer has this wall where if you're not already good you just get stomped over and over, and I think that scares a lot of people off from ever seeing what makes the game actually interesting in the first place.

I feel like every ranking thread about this game turns into the same argument, over and over.

Watched my brother play the campaign for weeks straight.

La gestion des unités et le nervering du clic sont autrement plus exigeants que sur Age of Empires II, où le rythme laisse plus de marge pour réfléchir. Face à Civilization V, la comparaison n'a même pas de sens, ce sont deux vitesses complètement différentes.

Deux abandons sur une soirée, ça résume bien pourquoi la campagne ne fait pas l'unanimité autour d'une table.
