Starcraft fue el primer juego que jugué en toda mi vida, gracias a una copia pirata que consiguió bajar mi padre allá por el 2012; si no hubiese sido por este juego (y por mi padre) probablemente nunca hubiese desarrollado el amor que tengo por este medio.
Sin habermelo llegado a pasar nunca, significa mucho para mí lo que ha implicado este juego en mi vida, y por ello lo tengo en tan alta estima.
Algún día lo acabaré.

It's so funny that here in 2023, Games Workshop is attempting to make a family friendly turn in Warhammer 40k, when that's literally just StarCraft. I think by and large that this game was an outlier, as Blizzard's catalog is SO lacking in comparison. But hey, being lucky in the right way is good enough to mean you get to exist forever, no matter how many people you get abused and killed.
One of my favorite RTS games back then, there were 3 factions in this game but each one was really different from each other and almost perfectly balanced, each faction had something different that encouraged you to try them, I remember playing the campaign of this game a lot and designing a thousand different maps in the editor (back when there was still an editor), the soundtrack was also legendary. This and Empire Earth are my favorite RTS games.
Don't really remember if I ever finished the game's story but it is incredibly fun and immersive. A great start to one of the biggest names in RTS. Claiming victory requires tons of planning and strategy with its 3 factions and numerous units to deploy. Still very fun today to boot up and play with a couple of friends but its age is definitely starting to show. Still a fantastic RTS game.
I love going back to StarCraft from time to time so much nostalgia playing as an introduction to the RTS genre and PC gaming as a whole. The gameplay is super outdated, but for me, it's made up of incredible styles, designs that are just oozing with many unique structures, and units of remediable voice lines I still quote for fun. The soundtrack is just so iconic to me each race is complemented by thematic and atmospheric osts it gets me immersed in playing as them. The story presents itself in meh cut scenes and briefing rooms with great voice acting it's a joy to listen to my favorite characters. To be honest from the original before brood war my favorite characters are Raynor my beloved sarcastic ass vulture buddy the tried and true rebel crusader, Arcturus the snide emperor taking any chances to rise to power, Aldaris, Fenix the cunning warrior, and Tassadar does what he thinks is just even if he's disobeying orders. It's always a treat going back to having fond memories of playing multiplayer with my relatives with barely 50 apm or any understanding of the meta. It's hard to get people into this game but, damn I get so sicced watching someone play getting into it. For anyone getting into RTS En Taro Adun brave Executors don't give up the fight.
Blizzard had a deal to make a Warhammer 40k RTS that fell through the gutter, they said fuck it and made a copyright-dodging facsimile of the same setting with many of it's original iconography still intact, that's where starcraft came from.
The game is good, but simple, probably is greatest complexity is the 3 faction structure that makes all of them seem exotic in comparisson to one another. But the deal here is that that complexity is explored very well on a solid narritive campaign spread through 3 acts, one for each faction.
Although it is more famous for it's modding scene nowdays, the main campaign is worth you time, even if it becomes repetitive to the end of it's narrative run, with nothing other than "destroy your enemie's base" type missions with just more stuff to blow up.
Nostalgia can blind just about anybody that played it back when it launched, so it is safe to say that the story isn't realy all that special, with so many film references that you can actually number in the hundreds the ammount of stuff that was borrowed outright from other media material.
So yeah, good, but only for the RTS afficionados that are by themselves a dying breed in the videogaming community.
