Homeworld Remastered Collection

So I finished HW1 over the weekend and what a fantastic and similarly frustrating experience. Some of the design decisions of the 90's show themselves quite blatantly during certain missions, but otherwise the game stands up really well today.

I got about 3 missions into HW2 before I decided I'm over it. The difficulty in mission structure is so rigid making every decision so critical that you may have to go back to previous missions just to make the later ones doable. I don't think I can be bothered right now, maybe sometime when I'm feeling far more patient.
