If it seems like only last week that I was complaining there were too many gigantic space games, that's because it was only last week.
Since then, I have written about Kerbal Space Program 2 and Space Engineers 2, because I am nothing if not a creature of contradictions.
Now, here I am writing about Era One. In my defence, it's all your fault. Specifically, it's TheGreatOneSea's fault. They left a comment about Era One on our list of most-anticipated 2025 games, and reader, I Googled.
It turns out that Era One is Homeworld, but you can clip together your own fleets like LEGO models. "It's Homeworld, but" is a formulation that unfailingly gets my hyperdrive humming, and in this case, the developers are the modding team behind celebrated Homeworld 2 mod the Complex.
They also helped Gearbox with Homeworld Remastered. Yes, I still have space in my life for this space sim. But it's the last one, you hear?
