Homeworld Remastered Collection

In all honest review. [THE PROS] (GAMEPLAY) Its a pretty good RTS game if only a little slow even compared to your tradition RTS. The game gives you enough freedom to do as you please with your ships and the gameplay map is big enough for a variety of strategies. (CONTROLS) The controls are intuitive enough and are easy enough to learn. It's smooth, responsive and overall nice to play. (VISUALS & AUDIO) The Visuals and sound design aren't something to boast about but is well done enough to immerse yourself in a space battle. (STORY) As for the story, its okay, I suppose. The concept of the lore is very basic, but its so basic that, I find it hard to care for any of them. On the other hand, the Voice acting is supreme. Whoever did the voice acting for both games were amazing. You can feel the emotion from them; the voice cracks, the pitch...uh masterclass. [THE CONS] (Pacing) Its really slow, as I've said, slower than your traditional RTS. The gameplay map is both its strength and its weakness. Although the map is big enough for tactics variety, the ships are also slow enough that traveling from point A to point B takes 10 IRL minutes. I kid you not, ship travel in this game is a slog. [The Learning Curve] Much like most RTS, the learning curve is insane. Learning how to make your troops move the way you want it is already half the battle. Much less actually coordinating your fleets. (Ship Variety) A big disappointment on the ship variety. There's only 4 main factions (Higarran, Vagyr, Taiidyan, and Kushan) with Taidyan and Kushan being a lesser faction of both Higarran and Vagyr respectively. There's only a handful of ships so, there's not much fun in ship variety. (performance) It stutters something fierce when there's too many ships on the screen, even with the Unit cap. This performance tank is something unexpected from a game this old. This makes it hard to play 4 player deathmatch since there'd be over what 4000 ships on the screen? *OVERALL* Would definitely recommend when asked about but wouldn't actively endorse. Its pretty good, but when you compare it to other RTS in the market, oof. Just buy those. or buy this during a sale. I think I paid less than a dollar for this one.

I've been a fan of these games since the original games were out. These space based games are great - they make you think strategically. What ships to build, getting resources, etx.

very well designed game and such fun to play

The two Homeworld games are 3D-based space RTSs. This means that instead of moving on a 2D plane, players’ units can move on all axes, so in full 3D. These remasters gave new life to these 20-year-old titles, while also containing the files of the original games for preservation purposes. Homeworld may not have all the shortcuts, keybinds, and features of modern RTSs (e.g. StarCraft 2), and they are much easier to play with a mouse. The 3D movement can be a bit hard to grasp at the start, as directing a unit through 3D space on a 2D screen may not feel very intuitive, despite the game’s controls actually being really good for the time. Also, the units are all well balanced and each ship class has at least another class as its counter, so deathstacks of one type of ship are not a really a viable solution if you don’t want to lose half your fleet in 5 minutes. Talking about the story, it’s really good. While playing the first title I could feel the weight of responsibility to protect the Mothership. The second has a more linear story, but it’s well-narrated, much like a classic RTS campaign. The OSTs are really good, but the English voice acting is a war crime that puts anything ever done by the Taiidan Empire to shame and it can sometimes ruin the vibe that the narration is trying to set. In conclusion, these games were revolutionary at the time, and these remasters are a great opportunity to experience them in a much more modern shape, even if the gameplay might feel a bit clunky by today’s standards.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Homeworld Remastered Collection è semplicemente straordinario, la campagna di gioco del primo capitolo è molto gestionale, meglio la seconda più incentrata sul combattimento puro. Se siete alla ricerca di un gioco tattico e impegnativo questo è il gioco che fa per voi, in caso contrario lasciate perdere e concentrate la vostra attenzione su altro.

Este videojuego me encanta, con mas de 260 horas en su versión remastered, pero sumando por allá en su época de salida, serían más de 1000 horas. Super recomendado. Una excelente remasterización. (Lo único que no me gusta es que al parecer los guardianes de Sajuuk, al parecer son más fuertes que el acorazado y que del mismo Sajuuk XD... Aunque si no lo fueran, eso le quitaría algo de emoción al juego :P). Lástima al ver las reseñas del 3, no compré esa versión :S.

好玩，能尽情享受宇宙大战的快乐
