Homefront: The Revolution

Homefront: The Revolution Is a game that is barely being held together, but it Charmed to finish.

When you hear that behind the scenes stories, it is a true test of will that the game even got made, with the struggles.

Which does make me feel a bit more generous about the game, because it is a very generic Far Cry clone, if you take it on its face value.

Taking over the city outpost to outpost, and getting better weapons an upgrade your gear, is very standard Far Cry stuff. The animations glitches and places where you can see the Polish is just not there, and it's barely been held together.

But the weapons feel fine and the shotgun is really good and has good range, so it's actually a good video game shotgun for once.

And the idea of modding the weapon on the spot is a really good idea. To make the rifle a fireworks launcher or sniper on the spot is really good idea.

Just really sad that the base gameplay is kind of okay, and it's just practically the same with very little variety.

But what saved the game for mediocre, is the DLCs.

The DLC feels like a budget version of the Metro games, but hey they are better than the main game, and the story actually feels competent and good.

The main character can talk, So it no longer feels like the characters are just talking to a camera with tape over mouth. The mission design just goes to the interesting point and challenges like the Metro games, so it's actually more fun.

And the last DLC beyond the wall, is a really good ending and feel satisfying, so it leaves a really good taste in my mouth, and that is the reason I still go back to the game once in a while.

It is not a masterpiece. It is not awful, but it is fun. Would recommend.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Homefront: The Revolution" (2016) is a sequel to one of the most marketed, hyped and eventually disappointing games of the last decade "Homefront". I played the first one, and it was an OK game. But this one i liked much more. Sure the game needed to be polished a lot, this what we got is a very rough game - i mean graphics won't blow you away, shooting mechanics aren't the best in FPS market. But the story was pretty good. Open world was very descent, there are a lot of activities that lead you to one goal - to liberate Philadelphia. And in that it succeeded. Every weapon you use can be modified in a very interesting way. There are useful gadgets and tools to make your life easier as well.

Overall, i picked up "Homefront: The Revolution" for a few dollars because it was so cheap but i heard the game was pretty bad, anyway i thought i will give it a shot. At the end i did surprise me of how actually good and sometimes even pretty great it was. I also really enjoyed "Resistance" mode where you co-op with other player and do some missions - there is a pretty deep customization system and progress - but there is one issue - no one plays it! That is very sad because this game is really good if you give it a chance.

Homefront Revolution has been in development for some time when the game release I was looking forward to it there were some glitch and Bugs the PS3 graphics was ok playing o the PS4 but he PS4 Pro will help in my opinion the game was good hopefully in the future we will get an other Homefront game with upgrade graphics I would recommend the game before the new PS5 and Xbox come out

I thought this was downloadable content for the first Homefront game. But, what we have here is a game of a sandbox world of Philadelphia where the North Koreans are on the attack.

Now, I played this game through including the other parts to it. If you want achievements however make sure you unlock them as you play through. I didn't, and even though there is a feature which allows you go back, it doesn't allow you to go back to any mission of any of the game but only the last three missions. So I have to play through the game again from start to finish roughly if I want that gamer score.

One thing you might notice is that if you have played games like Splinter Cell or other third person shooters it that there is one thing they all have in common which is gun stashes, a friend with you to open garage doors at critical moments of the game and access to motorbikes if you are in a hurry.

This title was available for free on Xbox Live but the chance is long gone.

However, buy it. And play the first Homefront which is a rather linear affair. But Homefront: The Revolution is a real improvement and goes to show that the first Homefront had so much oozing potential.

It's a great game with a very entertaining gameplay, good graphics, good maps, good characters, good soundtrack... and I could go on praising this game.

Still, it lacks in a couple of points, like the story (which can be a bit absurd), the "balloon" that appears continuously and annoyingly during the missions and that always messes up the game (for those who don't know, the "balloon" in this game is a giant plane with a tracker, that if it flies over you and sees you... you're dead, it will release an absurd amount of enemies and it's very annoying) and a bit in physics.

Anyway, I hope they make a sequel to this great game, which I don't regret having paid for.
