    Talk about a "whoops". After changing hands mid-production, Homefront: The Revolution just ended up falling flat. What I saw a couple years ago, a promising platform for mayhem in a Korean-militarized United States, has not come to fruition in the least bit.

    Homefront: The Revolution isn't that bad as most people make it out to be. For a game that went through what it went through during development, I'm actually surprised it was better than expected. You can tell the noticeable issues for a game that didn't have a smooth development process. Things like npcs walking through each other, npcs appearing and disappearing out of the blue, etc.Homefront: The Revolution isn't that bad as most people make it out to be.

You can tell the noticeable issues for a game that didn't have a smooth development process. Things like npcs walking through each other, npcs appearing and disappearing out of the blue, etc. Despite its issues, the game is somewhat entertaining. I enjoyed the openness world although it could've been improved upon. The weapon customization was pretty good but felt more like an afterthought. The acting and interactions between the npcs was actually quite good.

    But the biggest praise I would give is the graphics, especially the main npc characters to the story. Aside from that, the environmental graphics were so-so, some had really awful textures and I am playing the game on maximum settings. The game was optimized well though, never had any framerate problems. I truly believe if this game didn't have to go through all those issues during development, had a steady and stable development team behind it, it would've been a much better game. You can see the potential but unfortunately falls flat. Picked up this game for $20 so either way I'm satisfied.    … Expand

    A broken misuse of a great ip
    Homefront The Revolution is an open world first person shooter set in an alternate universe where north Korea establish control over the united states…
    And as the name suggest, it’s up to you to spark a revolution in the city of Philadelphia
    Despite this game technically being an open world, this unfortunately is actually a bunch of hub levels separated by travel points..
    This is not one massive map...
    And that’s a shame, because Deep Silver mistakenly decided to ditch the linear first person shooter style this game originally was to jump into the saturated market of open worlds,
    And you’re going to jump into a saturated market, where 9/10 AAA games are unique or flat out copying ubisoft, you better make sure that your open world or ubisoft clone world is worth existing in…
    This one isn’t
    There are 2 different zone types, a red and yellow.. red means anything goes..
    yellow means there are civilians, and you need to be stealthy and destroy Korean property to get the citizens to up rise…
    The yellow zone liberating is required for the story…
    And the objective much like the rest of the game feels very copy and paste…
    Even down to the location you need to get to in each zone…
    You can tell the developers tried to mix things up.
    sarcasm.
    It’s just an ugly, brown, lazy, boring and lifeless world with assassins creed style liberation points…
    You can take control over vantage points in the city to unlock safe houses to respawn at if you die as well as shops to buy weapons and upgrade your gear…
    Weapon customization is pretty standard,
    but you can equip scopes and modifications on the fly, turning your 3 weapons into 9
    the weapons are easily the best part of the game...
    Liberating the entire map will add about 8 hours to the 12 hour main campaign…
    And this 12 hour campaign much like the world just feels lazy...
    You feel like an errand boy rather than a hero…
    You do fetch quests and baby sit.
    And you get frustrated at the broken game not continuing a mission right, or hard crashing 10 times in a row or just due to the combat…
    The combat in this game feels completely unsatisfying, and the difficulty of this survival open world feels frustrating even on the easiest difficulty thanks to an inefficient hit detection system…
    you don’t feel wounded when you’re about to die which in a typical fps you would get an indication aside from a bloodied screen like a slowed character or limping effect as a cue to take cover and heal up…
    nothing like that exists here, which will have you dying seemingly out of nowhere…
    You also have to rely on med packs, which for some reason can’t be crafted while explosives can...
    makes no sense and also frustrating since health does not replenish itself…
    But if you’re not a fan of hard crashes or have just given up on the frustrating single player, you can play with a friend in resistance mode
    which will be fun for like 5 minutes, you can customize your character with a variety of options like male or female until you’ve suffered long enough to unlock helmets to hide your generic face
    There are 2 modes in resistance mode..
    Attack or defend...
    The best part is, neither of these modes are competitive...
    They are both 4 player co-op modes where you either defend a position from enemies or you invade to complete on objective...
    of course either of these modes could turn into a killzone style competitive mode, but that would take too much effort.

    The game starts off horribly, for around the first forty minutes you do nothing but walk around the street and are stared at by bland characters you could care less about. Nothing is established well at all. It's a mediocre attempt at an FPS game, and right now the original Homefront is looking so much better. It's really bad when you keep repeating in your brain how you wish there was a competitive multiplayer, in fact if there was my review for this game would be so much better. Reasons being the gun system and how they play and feel is great, combat is exciting, until you realize your ai partners and enemy have the mental capacity of a potato. I would only recommend buying this game if you can ever find it on sale for around twenty dollars.    … Expand

    Went in with zero expectations. For the first couple of hours some usisoft aspects of openworld seems unnecessary, but by the end of 13 hours campaing I really loved how it all tied up together. Nothing extrodinary, but overall very good shooter that actually was done with effort.

    'm sad to see this reviewed so poorly, I got an early copy from a mom and pop shop last Friday and have been hooked ever since. It feels like a blend between Classic FPS games like Frontlines fuels of war, an urban set Far Cry, and Starbreeze titles like Darkness, Riddick, and Syndicate. Loud guns, brutal melee, and the ability to stealth everything.

    NO it is NOT Ok for a game to be released Broken and almost unplayable! and NO this is NOT a "Amazing" game despite it's technical issues!
    I don't know what other games these people like but it cannot be the same game i do!
    Homefront the revolution was a MISSED OPPORTUNITY to make a incredible game! Period!
    Even without the tech problems that plague this Game, it still is a generic shooter game.
    The actual shooting is not good or fun, the AI is ridiculously bad,the so called Stealth mechanic is NON existent and the side quests are dull,easy and boring!
    The main missions have moments here and there of good and fun gameplay but overall
    they are nothing new or special.
    Bottom line, by supporting this game you are saying to the developers of games that "Hey we do not care you put out crappy games, will will still buy them"
    The fact they are asking $60 for the regular version of this and even more for the deluxe editions($160 for the special Goliath edition) is not only a slap in the face to gamer's but is a insult to out intelligence!

    It's a semi-open world urban FPS game. There is basically nothing competing with it currently. If you liked Crysis 2, and wished you could have done open world freedom fighter stuff in Crysis 2, this is a game for you.

    One of the MOST UNDERRATED games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Yes, Homefront: The Revolution had a messy launch; Yes, there are performance issues; Yes, the AI is not the smartest; but after a year and a half of patches this is hands down one of my favorite games in my Library! Let me tell you why:

Yes, Homefront: The Revolution had a messy launch; Yes, there are performance issues; Yes, the AI is not the smartest; but after a year and a half of patches this is hands down one of my favorite games in my Library! Let me tell you why:

    (PRO TIP: Do not play this game with the default HUD. It will absolutely change the way you experience this game. Here's my recommended settings: Turn Off Enemy Awareness Indicators, Objective Icons, and Minimap. This setup will force you to think on your feet so the game is not holding your hand from one objective to the next. Surprisingly, the game does a really good job of giving contextual (visual and audio) queues so that 99% of the time you do not need a big fat objective icon ruining the immersion of this beautiful game. Use your own eyes, ears, and instincts to find where your enemies are shooting you from or where your next objective is.)

    1. Homefront is surreal. Dambuster Studios have made a masterpiece of atmosphere and environment that really feels like a dystopian totalitarian America. The game immediately throws you into the thick of it, outnumbered and outgunned. You really do feel like you are fighting a gruelling guerilla war against more powerful occupying force in the streets of Philadelphia. The red zones feel like a wasteland where the KPA are hunting down the remainder of the resistance. The yellow zones feel like oppressed neighborhoods where you could be recognized in an instant and highly vulnerable.

    2. The graphics are downright gorgeous. CRYENGINE really shines in this title especially at night where the lighting effects from street lamps to pulsing siren lights really take center stage. The lighting effects are so well done they even make playing the same area during the day feel completely different than during the night. Character models are sharp, believable, and the live cutscenes help cement the entire feeling of playing the lead role in a blockbuster film. That said, I did experience multiple crashes but I am running the game on an older AMD R9 390, Intel i5-2500K and 8GB of RAM. I still manage to run the game on High settings and I've found that reducing object detail to Medium and cranking up the fan on my GPU has all but eliminated my crashing issues.

    3. The objectives are not always clear. Yes, this is a BIG plus in my book. Just like in real life YOU have to use your intuition to figure out how to solve problems. I remember the first building I tried to capture had a computer I needed to access, but the power to the building had been cut off. I kept staring at the damn minimap icon showing that I was in the right area, but I couldn't find a power source. Then I saw something in the environment and a light went off. "No, that couldn't possible work" I thought, but I tried it and it powered on the building making me feel like a genius because the game didn't tell me how to do it. It let me solve the problem myself (it felt like solving an intuitive point n click adventure game puzzle, which is mildly frustrating at first but then hugely rewarding when you find the answer).

    4. The gameplay is not repetitive. I love open world games, but some of them can suffer from feeling repetitive and like you're just hunting down icons. Yes, Homefront has minimap icons and repeated objectives but they don't suffer from feeling overbearing or repetitive. In fact, the well designed environments ensures that there are different ways to complete a task at any given instance. Furthermore the story does a great job of progressing you forward and striking the right balance of open-world-do-whatever-you-want and I-got-to-get-back-to-my-main-objective feeling. Furthermore as you complete objectives the landscape changes both aesthetically and functionally. Liberating a neighborhood step by step will reflect in the attitude of the people and the KPA who go from domineering totalitarian control to fearing rioting on the streets.

    BUY THIS GAME. I played the original Homefront and frankly, it sucked, but what Dambusters have done with this IP is a hugely overlooked masterpiece.    … Expand

    Another disappointment from Deep Silver (Seriously, why are they still in the gaming industry?)

    First of, it doesn't look next-gen, it looks like a PS3. Full of bugs and glitches, terrible AI. Runs at 20 FPS. Interesting setting?

    None of the characters are memorable, seriously I can't remember anyone from the campaign.

Now my malnourished fellow Americans are spray painting anti KPA slogans on structures, calling out the KPA, and starting a riot in the streets. These are the same people who were at their lowest 10 mins ago and questioned their existence. The area that was constantly being patrolled by armed KPA soldiers and tanks was empty of KPA forces because people started rioting and screaming. A world power was this easy to scare? Brilliant.

Do me a favor: If you are interested in this concept, then go get Red Faction Guerrilla and The Saboteur instead. These games do the whole Guerrilla/revolutionary concept far better than this under cooked abomination and are far more interesting and fun to play. And despite having dated graphics, they are far more immersive in their setting and lore.

There are identical npc's standing next to each other in the game. The grafics are rubbish. And to top it off its boring as hell. The bad reviews are totally warranted. Please do not give them your money. This is lazy crap

    Complete disappointment. After the original showed so much promise, this game was a complete step back. Changing devs mid-cycle took it's toll and what we were left with was a studio looking to release this game as fast as possible in order to get paid.

    Avoid at all costs.

    At its basis (which were copied from Ubisoft) Homefront is not a bad game, but total lack of innovation, ridiculous AI and myriad of lesser flaws make it hard to recommend to anyone but the most avid Far Cry fans. [07/2016, p.44]

    If the original game was kind of low-budget and low-grade carbon copy of Call of Duty, then The Revolution – the bricolage of the same quality inspired by Far Cry in its worst forms. [Issue#210, p.72]

    A competent enough shooter, but perhaps a touch too ambitious in its scope. Still, it's a massive improvement on the first Homefront. [Issue#252, p.62]
