STARCRAFT II

The rare strategy game that is also an execution test: the plan is worthless if your hands cannot run it at the pace it assumes. The campaign is a gentle front for that.

Long walls, many attempts. Bring patience.

AGE OF EMPIRES II: DEFINITIVE EDITION

Build orders are the curve, and the campaigns teach almost none of what the game actually asks for. The hard AI does not forget its economy while it fights.

Sustained pressure. Progress is earned.
