![]() But what's apparent, judging by the first missions, is that what actually matters is the execution and not the planning, and here it happens to actually work. The plot, as you expected, is about as standard 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'Mission Impossible' as you can get - You have the lone operative (Or not so lonely, given you can command other soldiers) being forced to survive on her own, aided by her government or not, the smokescreen organization and the real threat behind it, the shady plot, the past getting in the middle of it, intentional or not and you have the battles in between. ![]() All while also exploring parts of Nova's backstory (Made already exposed by the number of books and comics) and her past life and connections. It's up to Nova, fighting for her life, to escape her captivity, remember and complete her original mission all the while uncovering a dangerous conspiracy that, as per obligatory cliché, could mean the end of the Dominion that saved and recruited her in the past. What she finds out is that the Dominion is at a crisis, as the Zerg inexplicably have resumed their attacks against humanity, while Valerian's rule is also challenged by a separate paramilitary force, the Defenders of Man, claiming to protect humanity but openly defying the Dominion that helped saved a whole universe at a big expense. That's because she's just woke up in an unknown facility without any memory of the assignment that brought her there as well as the current situation. But while Nova at least appeared a bit in WoL and HotS, she was mysteriously absent in LotV, even prior to the final fight. The resume of the story, above, virtually sets about what's going on. And for the cheap investiment of the three-part bundle I've pre-bought, I'm thinking, for the first time, that this DLC should've been charged more, for the involved persons' efforts in it! Yes, this is the purest insanity I'll speak on the web, but this DLC deserved to be expensive. Not only that, it makes you want to buy it, a very rare instance and a much more profitable strategy than 'buy this because it's cool' or 'it's needed to progress'. You heard it right, kids, this DLC, though just being the first third, IS worth buying. Stuff like the expansion to Anno 2070, the 'Cold, Cold Heart' DLC for Arkham Origins. ![]() And Batman: Arkham Knight released some side-character campaigns that feel more like mini-games, the only exception worth mentioning being the Season of Infamy collection, for it's story.įortunately, the rule of 'an exception to each rule' goes out strong, at times, and these times we're often rewarded with much more than what we paid for. Han Solo's Blaster and Ion Grenades) and a few victory dance animations. Star Wars: Battlefront has expensive editions which merely unlock a couple of Season Passes, weapons that can be unlocked across the game (i.e. I tire of using these examples I used before, but they are about the best and the only ones I have: Warhammer: Total War had locked an entire core faction, that should be included in the game, to be unlocked in pre-launch sales so to get an early profit. Because of companies like EA, Ubisoft, THQ and others, DLC almost became like a synonimous to blasphemy, especially when it comes down to a single skin or animation being charged twice it's worth. Some labels are the créme-de-la-créme, others are just downright mandatorily forgettable. Talking about DLC is pretty much like picking peanut butter (No, I'm not making any funny remarks of the latest Overwatch short, ). ![]() This is the Nova mini-campaign DLC for Legacy of the Void, and just from the previews and what was delivered, what I can safely declare, now, is that I guess Heart of the Swarm was simply Wings of Liberty's hangover. The aliens have calmed down, a bit, but the humans. I'm DeltaCadimus, your beloved reviewer, and if there's something 'The Force Awakens' clearly taught us (Besides that virtually kitbashing three Star Wars films in one works fine), is that just because the big evil is done for, it doesn't mean all other problems just vanish into thin air. Well, just not Emperor Valerian Mengsk, Admiral Matt Horner and the remainder of the Terran Dominion. ![]() Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan are off the picture, peace is among Protoss and Terrans for the first time, the Zerg are on their lone corner, and everyone seems to be living happily ever after. WARNING - Under the Dominion Articles of Allegiance, I'm obligated to inform of potential SPOILERS related not only to this DLC, but the based expansion (Legacy of the Void), additional StarCraft-verse material and even books. ![]()
