A refreshingly unique concept with an interesting, rewarding gameplay loop and excellent environmental storytelling. Trust the makers of the Homeworld series to know how to inject feeling and emotional stakes into what might otherwise function just fine as a detached, aesthetically pleasing game world with novel mechanics. A pleasant suprise! In a market where games that stray too far from well established formulas turn out gimmicky and half-baked as often as not, I'm glad I rolled the dice on this one.
