Although not quite the triumphant homecoming fans hoped for, Homeworld 3 is still a sleek and at times spectacular space RTS.

Critic reviews
- 6.5In conclusion, Homeworld 3 shines brightly in its graphical prowess, offering a visually captivating journey through the depths of space. However, its shortcomings in storytelling, controls, and AI behavior prevent it from reaching the heights set by its predecessors. For fans of the series expecting a seamless blend of compelling narrative and refined gameplay, Homeworld 3 may leave much to be desired.

- 7.0A pesar de ello, nos encontramos con un divertido juego que ofrece una campaña de unas 12 horas variada y bien planteada en su diseño, el nuevo modo Juegos de Guerra que mezcla RTS con Roguelike, y un auténtico festín visual lleno de estampas de incomparable belleza en pleno fragor de la batalla. Todo ello con una propuesta jugable única en el género, y un interesante envoltorio de ciencia ficción que hará las delicias de los amantes del género, pese a que por el camino se ha perdido la grandeza narrativa de la saga. Un título que probablemente calará mejor entre los neófitos en la saga que entre los seguidores más acérrimos de la misma.
- 7.0Homeworld 3 est un bon jeu et un space opera très sympa, mais il manque sérieusement de constance malgré tout. On passe trop souvent d’un état de béatitude en admirant de lourds combats épiques entre de gros vaisseaux, dignes de Star Wars, à une rage difficilement contrôlable quand on les voit se coincer dans le décor sans raison. C’est dommage, car ça crée un sentiment assez amer qui reste en arrière-bouche malgré un plaisir qu’il est difficile de bouder.
- 7.0Overall, Homeworld 3 is a solid game for new and returning RTS players. Creating massive armies and watching the digital chaos unfold is one of my favorite parts of this genre, and Homeworld 3 does it better than most RTS games I’ve played. With that said, diehard Homeworld fans will be polarized about this campaign. Waiting over two decades for a story that abandons the principles of its predecessors is a tough pill to swallow. And when you consider the paltry post-campaign offerings, I find it difficult to recommend Homeworld 3 at full price. It’s a good game that could be great with some patches and DLC, but as of now, I’d sit this one out.
