RTS games generally aren’t my thing, mostly because I’m not very good at them. But I loved the original Homeworld: Enemy AI was too easily exploited (although for me, that’s a feature, not a bug) but the setting and presentation were magnificent\u2014more than enough to make it one of the most unforgettable games I’ve ever played.<\/p>\n

I’m not the only one who thinks so: PC Gamer’s Fraser Brown, who very much is a strategy guy, said a few years ago that even after decades, Homeworld is still his “dream RTS<\/a>.” That’s a pretty powerful recommendation.<\/p>\n

For those of you who haven’t played it, this is your lucky day: The Homeworld Remastered Collection, with remastered and “classic” editions of that great sci-fi epic and its perfectly fine follow-up, is available for just $8 as part of the new 2K Tactics and Tycoons Humble Bundle<\/a>. Astute online shoppers may point out that the Homeworld Remastered Collection can be had for just $3.49 on Steam<\/a> right now\u2014that’s 90% off of the regular price\u2014and that is true. <\/p>\n

But wait! There’s more! (You didn’t think I’d point you toward a bad deal, did you?)<\/p>\n

The 2K bundle also includes the outstanding prequel RTS Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, which Rob Zacny\u2014another serious strategy guy\u2014said is “a terrific RTS” in his 90% review<\/a>, and “also an excellent Homeworld game that reinvents the series while also recapturing its magic.” Deserts of Kharak is also 90% off on Steam<\/a> right now, dropping it to just a fiver\u2014so you’re already saving money with the Humble Bundle.<\/p>\n

But wait! There’s more!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m really just here for the Homeworld, but there’s a bunch of other good stuff on tap too, if you’re into the RTS scene. You’ll also get:<\/p>\n
