Homeworld® Remastered Collection

Playing through and for some reason, in Mission 3, it sends an impossibly large fleet to*SPOILER ALERT* destroy all the cryotrays before your fleet can even launch. OG Homeworld gave you a chance to rescue at least 5 of them. I watched a Youtoube playthrough and the fleet the computer sent to attack the cryotrays consisted of about frigates, not a literal dozen. I'm looking all over the place for a difficulty adjuster and there is none; I thought I had gotten ambitious in my difficulty choice, but no, it's a horrible lack of balance. It's *NOT* a skill issue - I've played and finished OG Homeworld before. Something is horribly broken about the scripting in this game and IDGAF enough to fix the developer's screw-up.

I haven't played the original version, so this remake is a new game for me. Part 1: Undoubtedly worthy of this classic work, the difficulty level is just right. I can comfortably control my steel army to fiercely strike enemies, even with a few setbacks, which is completely acceptable. Part 2: At first, I felt like I borrowed a lot from the expansion pack of the first part, and the importance of military restraint became significant. The deterrence of large and medium-sized ship groups has been severely weakened, so that the enemy can easily destroy my fleet, but I find it completely difficult to deal with (because the enemy is mixed). I got stuck in the fourth level, and a huge sense of frustration from multiple failures enveloped me. I know this is largely due to my poor skill level, as was my 1-star review of the first expansion pack a few days ago. But what impressed me most was that the "Halo: Wars" series was fun and easy to play, and the difficulty design was just as good as the first "Homeworld" game!

Homeworld 1 is a classic. Homeworld 2 is only remembered well by people with nostalgia goggles. Homeworld Remastered turns both games into Homeworld 2. In the case of Homeworld 1, this means that the difficulty ramps to unplayable levels due to a fleet-size-based scaling function that was clearly not tested by the developers. Effective strategy on level 2 makes level 3 an instant game over without mods. Essentially, this is a one-star review with a second star added for having the original Homeworld 1 attached.

A really cool and unique RTS, beautiful visuals nice music, cool story. The campaign doesn't have a difficulty setting , however it gets harder as you progress in the missions (since less then 10% people completed HMR1 and less then 5% in HMR2 lol). Happy with the purchase!

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.
