The graphics might be a little dated but the gameplay and depth hold up incredibly well. Music is top knotch and the special effects do well despite their age. No nostalgia required. Pickup TA Escalation mod for this too
One of my favorite wargames as a child. My only gripe with it, know that I'm older and know more, is that the armor for the tanks don't seem to have realistic thickness values. Regardless, if you love or want another RTT (Real Time Tactical) strategy game, Close Combat 2-4 are amazing. If you can find Close Combat 5, thats a great addition too.
I remember, as a child, seeing the box art and other graphics that were advertisments for these games when they were released (90s). The sight of ships fighting in space with an alien/robotic looking head along with the reviews I read created a fantasy in my head of an incredible journey and fight through space. Now at 27 years old, I finally have played Homeworld 1 Remastered and I am completely blown away by the game. The graphics, the music, the story, all completely helped my childhood fantasies of this game finally meet reality. And what a reality it is.
