Outside of the impressive pre-rendered opening cinematic, the majority of Wings of Liberty’s story was told through intimate character interaction, and careful and deliberate pacing that at times felt like you were in the midst of a space-western. And sure, this was one of the main selling points of the original game and a Blizzard staple seen across other games like Warcraft II - but never, at this sort of scale. With each entry’s campaign focussing on a single race, the story would not only span three separate games, but the perspective of three different races. In the end Wings of Liberty wasn’t just a return to form for the genre in a classical sense, it was also the first entry in a new trilogy of games bearing the StarCraft II moniker.
