fantastic addition to homeworld series
This is a great PC RTS game, and I have no clue why someone called it consolized. It looks, feels, plays just like what it is: a PC game just like the rest of the Homeworld series. I thought the story was actually pretty good and gives more background to the Hiigarans. Gameplay is great, fun game overall. But what really brings me here is to talk about the graphics and optimization. To this day I'm completely blown away by it. Not because of things like you can shoot planes down and they actually bounce off the sand leaving permanent trails of debris, or how gorgeous it is in general. No, what amazes me is the fact it looked this good even by today's standards and yet I could play the game at highest settings no problem with a freaking HD 7570 1gb graphics card. Granted that was 768p at the time, but still. They just don't optimize games like this anymore. Imagine playing any game on a meh tier 1gb graphics card, imagine getting buttery smooth performance paired with a 4core/4thread Ivy Bridge, and imagine it looking like this. Homeworld games always were known for looking fantastic in their time, but while this is no exception I'm still just blown away by how good it looked and how well it ran on the lowest most inferior hardware. I see 2020 first person games that try to hide how ass they look with film grain and post processing and they still run like garbage on a 1080ti. That, or geometric shape, featureless, textureless phone trash made to run on an android and call its lazy total lack of development "an aesthetic choice" and then port it to PC. Deserts of Kharak looks better and it can run on an actual toaster. You can literally run this game on a used office machine. It looks great even in 2021, has fun gameplay, an engaging story, and a good soundtrack as usual. Hard recommend and praise for the dev team's optimization efforts.
