    Someone on Reddit said it beautifully: if you’re a bad writer, this game will make you feel better about yourself.

    I was really excited for Homeworld 3, but then silly devs had to add Denuvo.

    I won’t touch that with a 10ft (3.048m) pole!

    Sounds like he hated the writing. Shame, that was a strong point in the series

      His review of Homeworld Cataclysm (“Emergence”) made me buy the game just based on how he talked about the plot and tone.

      Well to be fair, only Cataclysm had decent writing. HW1 lived off its world building, but being a fresh setup it did a superb job with that.

      Then HW2 mostly coasted on the success of HW1 in world building, bringing much of it down with its shallow design but eh, still good enougthe problem is that by now the world is known in large parts. Bow they need to bring in actual story, especially because we know from Cataclysm that they can do that.
