Homeworld Remastered Collection

Played a pirated copy as a teen many years ago so its good to finally support the dev :), The remastered version is top notch with the workshop and visuals!

A classic that never gets old

One of the greatest RTS' ever made. Homeworld 1 is definitely the stronger game, the retcon in H2 is really bad.

Once you understand how to play this game is super fun for the average RTS enjoyer

one of the best space games out there at least give it a try you wont regret it make sure your computer has the specs to run this cause some may not but man do i love this game it brings me back to younger years and better then ever!!!!!

The story spanning the two Homeworld games is simply beautiful and amazing. That alongside the soundtrack and the updated graphics, are easily the best parts of the two remastered games. This alone should justify a purchase of this collection, but if you have never played Homeworld before then I must warn you; the difficulty for both of the campaigns scale up and down depending on how well you play the game. This means that if you manage to amass a large fleet throughout your playthrough, the enemy AI for the next mission campaign will get significantly harder. And I mean, SIGNIFICANTLY harder. Obviously, this system exists so that it does not get too boring or easy for the player while they play through the campaigns. But the AI difficulty scaling is insane. Certain missions can become near impossible to beat, if not literally impossible, and this does mean that playing the game in a certain way - a way that I imagine is quite common, will make the game punish you immensely for it. This criticism isn't anything new. You can find a bunch of other people discussing it on the forums and in the reviews. It is most likely the biggest turn-off among people who want to play and enjoy these two games. I endured both campaigns this way and found it frustrating, but I judged the story and the soundtrack were good enough to carry me through until the end. If you intend to play the campaigns without downloading a community patch/workshop addon that changes the difficulty around to be more fair and reasonably balanced, then this is the best advice I can give you should you find yourself in a similar situation; load an autosave file from before you started the mission and dismantle most of your ships, then try again. It took me around ~28 hours to get 100% achievements.

Yeah, they kinda screwed up some UI and ship controls, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's still an innovative game with a captivating story and a gorgeous soundtrack. Still worth the time to play it in my book.

Kinda janky for a timeless classic remaster. Still ... every few cycles, the planets align and I feel the urge to control space battles. This game tickles that pickle quite nicely. Story-wise ... It's as good as the series is going to get. HW3's story is lobotomized compared to its predecessor's.
