I loved the original Homeworld, but I was never, how do you say, "good" at it. So you can imagine that when I sat down to play the Homeworld Remastered Collection, I was pretty scared of making a fool out of myself, given that over a decade has passed since I last played it, poorly, on the best gaming PC a broke college student could afford. Thankfully, the folks I was meeting with anticipated this, and had a map all set with a large fleet for me to bound-box, and send into the fray - and just like that, with a single right click, the fireworks began.
Homeworld's massive, three-dimensional space brawls were more or less the first of their kind, but very few games have recaptured that sense of scale. With this shiny new coat of paint, there are few, if any space-based RTS games that offer such a spectacle. Seeing the remastered version right next the classic version (which is also included in the Homeworld Remastered Collection) was beyond night-and-day different, to the extent that someone seeing Remastered for the first time would fully assume they were looking at a recently developed game.
