7/10 - Visuals are nice but unfortunately my gpu is too old to utilize any of the upscaling properly so it was blurry all the time

overall it scratched the homeworld itch for me sorta, I enjoy playing homeworld and it kinda felt like a homeworld expansion by keeping all the usual sound effects and controls.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 3p roguelike co-op is quite a bit of fun if you got two friends to hang out on voicecomm with!

I have a RTX 4070, Ryzen 7 5700X, 32GB 3600 MHz RAM, and I have to use medium graphics for 90 fps @ 1440p (raytracing off).
