Homeworld is well worth your time, I haven’t played a game quite like it since. People go back and forth on the merits of the remastered edition, as it’s mechanically based on HW2 which just never bit me back. Something about being force jumped as soon as objectives completed kept me on the back foot in a way I find not fun.
I’ll grab this, because free, but I’ll be the voice of dissent and say I really didn’t like homeworld. I felt like adding a third dimension increased the effort quite a bit as you obviously need to select an x, y axis and then designate a z axis as well.
It never really felt like it offered proportionate rewards to the mental and physical overhead. As an RTS, it felt fairly similar to any other RTS, and the third dimension seldom felt rewarding to me.
I feel like it really needed done harder science fiction momentum to make you really use the space to your advantage or add some softer science fiction tech that would reward formations and angles of attack in a meaningful way.
Severed Steel is sick as fuck. I’m glad to hear it’s still being worked on.
