Homefront: The Revolution for PC, XONE and PS4 tries a new approach to an FPS franchise which debuted in 2011 and gained significant popularity among the players, despite receiving rather mediocre reviews. This next title was developed by Dambuster (formerly Crytek UK), who stepped in for the creators of the first game, Kaos Studios. After the original publisher, THQ company, went bankrupt, the franchise was bought by Crytek and then Deep Silver company, making it possible to expand the series by another installment

Story

The story focuses around an imaginary conflict between North Korea and the United States. It's been four years since the USA has fallen to the invaders and the constantly growing forces of the resistance are preparing a huge revolution against the oppressor. You are thrown into the devastated streets of Philadelphia, where you join the local resistance and sabotage every major enemy objective in any way you can. The game features brand new characters who, either solo or in cooperation with others, try to hold their ground against a much more numerous and better equipped Korean army.

While playing Homefront: The Revolution, you can also fire up the remaster of the TimeSplitters 2 shooter in 4K on the digital machine. A separate, enhanced version of that game didn't come out and it's all the fault of a certain lost notebook.

Game Revolution: 2 / 5 by Jeb Haught

As you can see from this review, video game journalism isn't all fun and games. Sometimes my job is to play bad games so you don't have to. Homefront: The Revolution is one of those games.

Full Review

GameSpot: 5 / 10 by Scott Butterworth

Despite its ambitious premise, Homefront's efforts to reclaim Philadelphia are sabotaged by technical issues, faulty mechanics, and predictable storytelling.

Full Review

Metro GameCentral: 5 / 10

The co-op action can be fun, but the rest of the game is just as dull and miserable as life in occupied America is portrayed.

User Reviews Summary generated by AI

The main pros of the game

  • Visuals and Performance: The game is noted for its impressive graphics, especially considering its age, and it runs smoothly at high frame rates without the need for modern graphical enhancements.
  • Gameplay Mechanics: Players appreciate the open-world mechanics, including the ability to adapt play styles (stealth or aggressive) and the on-the-fly weapon modification system. The platforming and puzzle elements were also highlighted as enjoyable.
  • Story and Setting: The premise of a North Korean takeover of the USA is seen as a unique and interesting concept, with some characters and environmental storytelling receiving positive remarks.
  • Gun Customization: Improvements in gun customization and a decent selection of weapons were praised.
  • Nostalgic Elements: The inclusion of Timesplitters 2 in the game files was a pleasant surprise for many players.

The main cons of the game

  • Repetitive Gameplay: Many users found the mission design repetitive and the gameplay could become dull, especially towards the end of the game.
  • Technical Issues: The game suffers from various bugs, optimization problems, and issues with AI behavior, including enemy spawning and pathfinding.
  • Character Development: The main character's arc and some supporting characters were criticized for being underdeveloped or forgettable.
  • Inventory Management: Frustrations arose over limited inventory space and the crafting system, which could feel tedious.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • More Linear Campaign Elements: Some players expressed a desire for a more structured, linear campaign akin to the first Homefront or the Deus Ex series, rather than a fully open-world experience.
  • Enhanced AI and Stealth Mechanics: Users noted that the AI could be inconsistent, with enemies spawning inappropriately, which disrupted stealth gameplay.
  • Improved Inventory and Weapon Management: A larger inventory and more intuitive weapon handling were suggested as improvements.
  • Better Story Integration: There was a call for deeper character development and more engaging storytelling to enhance the overall narrative experience.

Summary

  • Overall, while Homefront®: The Revolution has its share of flaws, it also has redeeming qualities that some players found enjoyable, particularly for those who appreciate open-world gameplay and unique settings.
