What players think
The recurring themes across 298 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Starcraft had it all and revolutionized the genre with its narrative as well.
"The Hive" is a fun RTS with a unique setting and an immersive atmosphere created by graphics, soundtrack and sound effects.
Voice acting AND a nice soundtrack.
The absence of skirmish modes or multiplayer further narrows replay value; once you complete the campaign, there is little to return for unless you simply wish to experience the world again.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
