My Russian friend pestered me into playing this after I beat the Remastered Collection. He assured me it was the best of the original Homeworld games. I was skeptical, but as the game was on sale for a dollar, I figured what the hell. And oh baby, I'm glad I did. This is a superbly written game with an incredible story, grimdark atmosphere (genuinely scary at times), and levels that strike the perfect flow-state in terms of difficulty—neither too hard nor too easy, always a challenge and always fun. The menu and interface are definitely dated, but you get used to this pretty quickly, and it didn't interfere with my enjoyment after I spent about half an hour wrangling with it. Don't miss out on this, it really is the best of the old Homeworlds.
