On the eve of Homeworld 3's launch, the strategy series just got a new VR game that you should check out.
Homeworld 3 launches next week, but there’s a game Homeworld fans who own a Meta Quest 2 or 3 should check out right now. Homeworld: Vast Reaches , which came to Meta’s VR headsets on May 2, is a prequel set between the events of the first two Homeworld games. This VR game offers up the core Homeworld experience in a novel niche of the video game medium.
Recommended Videos Homeworld, but in VR Homeworld: Vast Reaches was developed by FarBridge, who has previously worked on VR games like Walkabout Mini Golf, Dragon Fight VR, and Jar Wars. Made with Gearbox Entertainment’s support and blessing, it boils Homeworld down to its core elements and rebuilds it in VR. Players control a new Fleet Command connected to Karan S’jet’s Mothership, which is the conceit behind how players view battles.
I find strategy games to be a surprisingly good fit for the VR medium. There’s something inherently satisfying about being fully immersed in and overlooking a battle before moving units like pieces on a chess board.
The biggest critics of Vast Reaches have derided its AI and difficulty, saying that it is too easy. They aren’t wrong; Vast Reaches wasn’t that challenging once I got the hang of the controls and settled into the core loop of gathering resources, building units, and fighting enemies in each mission. That’s not a bad thing for me; I don’t think it needs to be more complex.
