The TLDR of the steam reviews seems to be to just buy and play the old ones. They are less pretty but much better mechanically and story wise. They also lack intrusive Denuvo DRM and data collection policies. I haven’t played the game personally but that seems to be the consensus from the top couple of reviews.
Personally this one will be staying on my wishlist for a few years.
Add Homeworld to “game successfully enshitified” ever growing list.
I’m hearing a lot of OG Homeworld fans turned off by this one.
Instead of retaining unique charm, they spent a shitload of money on generic video game story #6 and generic wet-looking cutscene render #4.
Simultaneously, many core gameplay mechanics were dumbed down and made more palatable for the masses.
It’s a tough pivot to make, but what else are fans of the genre gonna play hahahah

Sins of a Solar Empire 1
And hey, we get to hope Sins 2 remains great.
Sounds like there’s a gap in the market to me
Nebulous Fleet Command 🤘
Man fuck you Randy. I’m not buying your malware wendigo wearing HW’s skin.
Was super excited when I found out about this game. Did not play demo, didn’t read up on it so I could experience it spoiler free.
Saw it game out via steam wishlist email, went to buy it when I got home from work, and stopped when I saw the “Year One Pass”
Fuck this practice of “sell you the rest of the game later” bullshit
It’s too expensive anyways.
Its going to be a great buy in a year at like 30€ with the pass included.
