If you want to feel what a cosmic exodus truly is, this is the game for you.
The atmosphere, the silence of space, the weight of survival — it's all here.
And the soundtrack? Worth it alone.

Homeworld, a game with a story of trial, endurance and a bit of providential destiny.

A jewel of RTS , brought back in a masterfully remastered game. Or would argue a complete remake, with visuals that are an eye candy.

Story wise the game is giving the player bits and pieces of the tragedy that befell the Hiigaran, and later Kushan people , and is delivered in a very simple , linear format, with deeper lore that can be read online.

Voice acting is impactful , and well adjusted to the scenes.
Considering the trial of a hopeful and close to be extinct species in their quest to recover their Homeworld , after the burning of Kharak does show the composure of the character, that struggle to keep their despair in check, with music to add to an already emotional setting , and well delivered.
'Kharak is burning ... everything is gone..'

Gameplay is definitely refined, and the levels presenting a real challenge, with each victory being a hardly earned one. (good thing you can actually steal ships)

You are in the void, a Pariah, being hunted by the Taiidan Imperial fleet, with few resources and a ragtag fleet, and the stakes are victory or extiction .
Probably one of the best space RTS games out there.

In the first 6h, I've played HW1 up to Mission 10 (Supernova). The game has some interesting moments, but overall, it feels monotonous. I've appreciated the story thus far, and was hoping to continue, but every mission gets increasingly tedious, and after attempting this mission three times, it is just not worth the time investment to continue. The UI and 3D positioning are very clunky; every task in the game seems to take an eternity to complete.

I love RTS and 4X strategy games. Growing up, I played hundreds of hours of Warcraft 1-3, Starcraft 1-2, MOO 1-3, and Warlords 1-3. I've also logged over 150 hours on both Dwarf Fortress and Stellaris in the last 2 years. I'll probably try out HW2 at some point, but so far, I cannot recommend this; skip this one.
