Homeworld 3

 

Some days you just need to fight huge space battles.


I love the return to the Homeworld Universe, but are the Homeworld Purists unhappy? There was something about the first game, a quality that stamped your brain with a deep love. They hate every change; every difference is a bucket of niggles from which to scream their massive disappointment. Yes, it's simplified, but micromanagement of formations and built trees were never the game's strong suit. The campaign feels like a more generic space opera, but that's because Homeworld already did the best story.

Maybe in a year, someone will lovingly reconstruct the first game using the new engine. Then we'll stop hearing all the whining and teeth-nashing. Nostalgia is toxic. You can never go home to Homeworld again.
