Homeworld is among one of the most brilliant sci-fi's in gaming, while also being one of the most satisfying strategy games to play. Complimented by a fantastic presentation, the game constantly forces you to think ahead with every action you take, often making you consider both the long-term and short-term effects of your tactics, something RTS games rarely do. The sci-fi storytelling is brilliant, exuding hard sci-fi themes while also asserting emotional resonance from those elements.
