Homefront: The Revolution

The process of reviews is corrupted by the minds of those who do not feel empathy towards what they read, watch and play. It is these biased reviews that have the power to stop people from enjoying a beautiful game like Homefront Revolution.

I gave it 4 stars 1 for the gameplay 1 for the story 1 for the graphics 2 for the efforts made by the makers to reach a satisfying conclusion through DLCs.

Homefront the revolution I have always liked just by the gameplay and where you are taking over I really liked that but I do agree with the issues with this game I just enjoyed this game.

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.

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: 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.
