* GameBreaker: Kerrigan herself makes the campaign a breeze. She ''starts'' with two spells, one is basically Yamato Cannon with no charge time and lower energy cost, the other stuns units and damages them in an area of effect, and she has an innately high energy regeneration rate. From there she moves on to doubling the health and attack rate of allies for a time, spawning overlords instantly, summoning an army of primal zerg instantly with drop pods, and healing allies nearby. If you know how to use her abilities properly and micro her carefully, Kerrigan is fully able to solo a lot of missions.

** The game simply feels more "hand-holdy" than previous installments. New abilities given to characters will be the ''only'' solution to the current situation when the ability is introduced, which, while obvious enough in and of itself, is accompanied by someone pointing out exactly this: "Use this button to solve the problem!"

** Two different versions of the GUI used to give orders to units now exist. One is the "standard" array of buttons (at least six commands for any combat unit) while the "Simple" version offers "Move," "Attack" and special ability sections, excluding items such as Patrol or Hold Position.

* {{Narm}}: The Zerg, particularly Abathur and the Primal Zerg, are obsessed with "essence" to the point of CargoShip. It's of course a play on their "purity of essence", and it's made clear that the term is used for genetic sequences that could strengthen them if assimilated. Still, "we must absorb their essence" and the many permutations of the phrase sound silly, and after you hear the word repeated over and over and over until the end of the campaign, it will likely just sound sillier each time.
