Its hand drawn cinematic scenes have never looked better and the dialogue and soundtrack do a wonderful job of forwarding the plot while also creating some surprisingly genuine drama. Homeworld‘s story has always been one of its biggest draws for me and I can happily report that it remains perfectly intact in the remaster. With their civilization left in ruins, the last Kushan survivors flee to the stars where they must fight against the odds to survive and uncover the secrets of their long lost home. Their plans fall to pieces, however, when a hyperdrive test brings down the wrath of an interstellar empire hell bent on halting their quest. Intent on finding their homeland, they build a gigantic mothership and plan a mission to seek out the planet of their origins. A race of people living on a barely habitable desert world, their culture is shaken to its core after they discover the ruins of a spaceship that reveals that their ancestors actually came from another world.

It’s been one of my favorite games since I first pulled it out of a bargain bin in 2003, and Gearbox’s re-release has been probably my most anticipated game launch in years. When my review code for the Homeworld Remastered Collection arrived in my email on Sunday, I squealed like a little kid on Christmas morning.
