A game that came out of nowhere but that I somehow wanted very badly. H:DK is a little joy of a game, with outstanding visuals, excellent optimisation... And FINALLY a gameplay that doesn't demand an LSD-Red bull mix worth of APM skills.
It's not exactly slow paced, but units don't die in two seconds, so you get time to adjust, control formations and positions, use what abilities there are (all straightforward and streamlined like speed boost for fast attack vehicles or smoke screens for tanks) as needed.

Despite the apparent lack of variety in units (something I would personally object, as there are roughly 14 units per faction, there being two factions with subtle differences in their lineup), the gameplay has many layers, and the balance of resource gathering / unit construction-research / carrier usage (they're like the Motherships of old, only much more powerful) / artifact retrieval makes for a game where there is always something more to do, optimise or respond to.

Finally, I grew up playing Homeworld 1. It was fantastic. This is its prequel, and from the audio design (guns, engines, UI, and especially the radio chatter), the music, the visuals, and the general narrative and atmosphere... I felt at home. It's more of a talented application of the meaning of this franchise onto a new game rather than fan service, and that means a great deal to me.

10/10 would grow up playing.
