Homeworld Remastered Collection updates and introduces the landmark space strategy games to modern audiences. The collection includes Homeworld and Homeworld 2, painstakingly remastered by Gearbox in cooperation with key members of the original development team and members of the series’ passionate fan community. As a free bonus, this collection also includes the original versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2 with compatibility updates, preserving the purest form of the original releases. Anyone who purchases Homeworld Remastered Collection will also receive free access to the Homeworld Remastered Steam Multiplayer Beta when the collection releases on February 25, 2015. The Homeworld series has a long legacy and is regarded by many as one of the best strategy series of all time. Following its release in 1999 by publisher Sierra and developer Relic Entertainment, Homeworld received several Game of the Year awards and redefined the RTS genre. Its sequel, Homeworld 2, launched in 2003, and was similarly praised by critics for its innovative controls and changes to multiplayer. Brian Martel, Gearbox Software's Chief Creative Officer, has great love and respect for Relic's brilliant, fun and innovative franchise and personally spearheaded Gearbox Software’s acquisition of Homeworld from THQ in 2013.

I gave it a try, but unfortunately had to quit after almost 5 hours. The original Homeworld was my preferred choice, but it always crashed after a few minutes of gameplay. So I switched to the remastered version which has some impressive visuals, especially in space. However, the gameplay didn't quite suit me. It was very confusing and lacked an overview. Managing the units was tiring, and if you built new ones during a fight, you couldn't group them properly, resulting in throwing them into the battle to their demise. Maybe it's just too complex for me, but I may give it another try in the future.

After missing the game when it came out originally, I bought the remastered version with dreams of fighting and playing around the stars. However, after three or four levels, I realized that it's not for me. Maybe I'm too old, but I found that controlling the ships around 3D space was a bit confusing, especially when under time pressure. I've also found that I had to be zoomed out for full control of the situation, which precluded me from differentiating my ship types, and I really couldn't be bothered with diving deep into prioritizing build order. I was also missing some guidance on how a good space defense is built and in general found my ground-based RTS knowledge not enough.

Maybe I'll come back to it after watching some YouTube...maybe.
