Lots and lots of fun
One of the best RTS ever, in a very good remastered version. Perfect for LAN parties, and it seems to be LAN compatible, even without GOG Galaxy, which is great!

A Timeless Odyssey, Enhanced by Time
Homeworld (1999) wasn't just a game; it was a revolution. This real-time strategy masterpiece redefined the genre with its groundbreaking use of a true 3D environment, allowing for unprecedented tactical depth and visual immersion. The story, a poignant space opera, follows the Kushan, exiled nomads who discover their true origins and embark on a perilous journey to reclaim their homeworld, battling the formidable Taiidan Empire. The game's strengths are numerous. Its aesthetic brilliance, with intricately designed ships and breathtaking nebulae, creates a sense of awe and wonder. The compelling narrative, masterfully told through cinematic cutscenes, fosters a deep emotional connection. The strategic depth, demanding careful planning and adaptation, provides a rich and rewarding experience. The persistent fleet, carrying over from mission to mission, adds a layer of consequence to every decision. The atmospheric sound design enhances the sense of scale and wonder. Homeworld pioneered true 3D space combat, allowing ships to move in any direction, creating complex formations and flanking maneuvers. The free-floating camera provided unparalleled tactical awareness. The ship building and enhancement system, coupled with resource management, added a simulation feel to the mission-based gameplay. Use the Tutorial: While the learning curve and occasional difficulty spikes posed challenges, the overall experience was transformative. At the time I was a level designer on Heroes of Might and Magic III. After work Homeworld was my escape. The sheer scale, freedom of movement, and emotional power captivated me. Seeing the 2015 Remastered Edition was a very welcome return. I was ecstatic! Enhancing the visuals and audio while preserving the core gameplay. It was a testament to Homeworld's enduring legacy, a timeless classic that continues to inspire. Homeworld is more than a game; it's an experience, a journey, a masterpiece that deserves to be experienced by all gamers.

Avoid like the plague!
I was originally a huge fan of the original games and was happy to see it recently reduced in price. However having purchased I feel cheated. Although it looks better than the original it's a complete dog to play.

Still King of its Genre
It's Homeworld, as you fondly remember it, comparatively looking as good as it did when it first came out. This is definitely a remaster with lots of love and polish put into it. And it's Homeworld - still king of its genre.
