** A lot of Kerrigan's dialogue that ''should'' be impactful falls flat with a hard thud thanks to a combination of DullSurprise and ThatMakesMeFeelAngry. Kerrigan tends to be very unemotive both in voice and in face, delivering lines with little variance in voice and no expression but for a faint frown or glare. This is amplified by many of her conversations being with Izsha and Abathur, who by their personalities ''are'' unemotional and straightforward, because they are completely loyal to Kerrigan and exist only to follow her orders, and most of their dialogue is just exposition when Kerrigan asks them a question. Thus most conversations with them have both parties look and sound like they don't really care what's going on, until Kerrigan just gets bored with the conversation and awkwardly ends it.

** The Kal'dir mission chain. The only reason Kerrigan goes there is to find the broodmother Nafash and conscript her and her brood, but very quickly in the first mission you find out her brood has been mostly wiped out by a Protoss force on the planet. With this, Kerrigan should really just take the remnants of the brood and leave, but instead she spends the mission chain fighting the Protoss to keep them from contacting Shakuras to inform them that Kerrigan is on Kal'dir and has been de-powered. While the threat of the Protoss fleet coming for Kerrigan is understandable, Kerrigan could always just ''leave'' the planet and not stick around for when the fleet arrives, and with how long it would take them to mobilize and get to Kal'dir versus the fact Kerrigan's Swarm is still fairly dangerous, it's dubious the Protoss would try to track her down if she left. [[note]]However, ''Legacy of the Void'' does indicate that the Protoss still have Kerrigan high on their wanted list, so much so that Zeratul is branded a traitor for helping her.[[/note]] The mission chain comes off as just an excuse to have Kerrigan fight the Protoss more, and that claim loses its viability given that Kerrigan also faces off against the Tal'Darim later, who could have served as Protoss enemies better. Also, while Kerrigan doesn't necessarily realize this, Artanis has more pressing matters like coordinating the Golden Armada for their strike on Aiur, and would not likely be in the mood to divert forces to go after Kerrigan.

** The evolution missions. Each one is an ExcusePlot to justify how Abathur got his hands on particularly powerful genetic material for new Zerg strains, and exist to give the player a small tutorial mission to try them out so the player can make an informed decision about which strain to pick for the rest of the campaign. However, each mission usually takes a few minutes to play through and they are highly scripted and linear, so there's no replay value to them on subsequent playthroughs. Further, while the missions demonstrate the strengths of each strain relative to each other, they don't give an accurate depiction of how the unit will play in an ''actual'' mission, since the evolution missions are tailored to show off the new strain's strengths, and have the player microing a small number of units they get for free, not building a massive zerg swarm built on a limited economy. Finally, ''Wings of Liberty'' and ''Legacy of the Void'' simply showed the player a small video of units in action on the upgrade-select interfaces to demonstrate their abilities, and ''Heart of the Swarm'' does the same thing ''after'' each evolution mission and when picking exclusive upgrades, so there's no reason for evolution missions to exist at all.

** For gameplay, ''Heart of the Swarm'' is by far the easiest of the trilogy, even on Brutal difficulty, and players can effortlessly steamroll enemies without much trouble. Additionally, while ''Wings of Liberty's'' campaign missions could be completed one mission at a time without dedicating to a specific arc, and ''Legacy of the Void'' had fewer missions for each arc in general, ''Heart of the Swarm's'' arcs are usually three missions long and forcing each arc to be completed in order. There is some variance in which each arc can be played out, starting between Char and Kaldir (and later Zerus after one is completed), followed by the arcs that involve destroying Narud's facilities and [[spoiler:rescuing Raynor]], but at most the only difference with each selection ultimately comes down to when Kerrigan's party members join (with Kaldir, having no party members, having the more essential units unlocked). There's also the evolution missions, which in theory is helpful for making a selection that cannot be undone but ends up becoming filler for repeated playthroughs. Not helping matters is how the vast majority of the game involves fighting the Terran Dominion, leaving relatively little variety in the enemies the player faces (especially regarding the Protoss). This is further exacerbated by the comparative lack of original units. Where ''Wings of Liberty'' brought back nearly every deprecated unit from ''Starcraft I'' and a good handful of units originally slated for multiplayer but ultimately cancelled, and ''Legacy Of the Void'' gave you three units for each role, with a good number of largely transformative ones that take them into an entirely new direction, ''Heart of the Swarm'' mostly just boiled down to tacking on some very unevenly balanced extra powers onto existing Zerg units as a backdrop to Kerrigan herself.

** Warfield can fall into this during his death scene. While there's nothing wrong with him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling out]] Kerrigan for murdering so many people throughout her quest for {{Revenge}}, it also falls a bit flat when you remember that Warfield remains perfectly fine with continuing to work with a corrupt Terran Emperor who got many innocents killed. Thus, Warfield come comes off as a complete {{Hypocrite}} to some people.

* RealismInducedHorror: During "Old Soldiers", Warfield is calling out Kerrigan for throwing away her deinfestation to commit war atrocities in vengeance against Mengsk and is almost in tears that she's chosen this path after he helped save her. Him saying that "you're not even human" can have double meaning: that she's not only infested but acting like war criminal, something that is a very real subject matter. This helps her [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone come to her senses]] and start working towards redemption.

* HarsherInHindsight: Zagara states how she feels sorry for the Terrans because they don't have a hive mind, and therefore are each alone. [[spoiler: In ''Legacy of the Void'', one of the first things the Protoss are forced to do is sever themselves from the Khala so as to be free from Amon controlling them. Afterwards each one states how alone they feel now they are no longer connected to one another]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Nova. She only shows up for the 2nd mission, which is a shame when it looked like the story was going to have a bit of a cat-and-mouse chase feel to it where Nova spends the campaign hunting for Kerrigan. This could have built up a ghost rivalry between Nova and Kerrigan. Especially when you consider that Nova was the reason that Raynor got captured, which would have given Kerrigan a {{Revenge}} motivation against Nova.
