The visuals are crisp and detailed, with high resolution textures, improved models, and additional effects - they just lack the wonder I felt back then, even if they are objectively better. My confusion wasn’t helped by the fact that, while this release looks good, it does not feel as spectacular as the original Homeworld did in 1999.

Homeworld 3 not only will boast the series 3d space strategy action, fully utilizing the 3d space environment but also introduce cover mechanics, allowing for new kind of manouver and adding a further element of depth to the game. With the gained experience in Deserts of Kharak which despite being a traditional “ground” rts, a lot of interesting lore and ideas has been expanded. ![]() Thus we’ll need to create new alliances and survive various betrayals and more through a campaign which seems to be visually spectacular and interesting story wise.
