I am caught up with most of my back log so I decided to try it out. I am well aware of the problems this game had at launch, and totally agree with the low score it received because of it. The game should have never been launched in the state it was in, but I digress. Homefront The Revolution is an open world first person shooter that seems to be closest in comparison to a Far Cry game. Your job is to take back America from the invading North Korean army. Long story short this is an alternate reality where before the war North Korea was an American ally. The war was started because the U.S defaulted on billions of dollars of debt owed to North Korea. The U.S economy collapses giving North Korea the perfect opportunity to invade. Like Far Cry, Homefront places you in an open world (in this case Philadelphia) with districts to liberate from North Korean control. Yellow and Red zones are what you start in, and once you liberate certain districts you will be able to see stash spots or vehicle spots on the map. Kind of like when you take a tower in Far Cry and it opens up the map so you can see what exactly is in the area. It is a basic style of game play but believe it or not, it has it's moments. Being a huge fan of Dark Souls and other really hard games I was a bit surprised at how difficult this game is. This is a guerrilla warfare type of game which basically means you are out numbered and out gunned so hit and run tactics are your best friend. This isn't like most fps where you can take several hits before dying or taking several hits and hide so your health regenerates. It only takes 3 or 4 shots to kill you so if you happen to stumble across a 4 man patrol your best strategy is run, or find higher ground and attack with the element of surprise. Although the AI isn't exactly the smartest they can and WILL flank you any way they can so it can get pretty intense. The guns you can use are super limited which was kind of a let down BUT the customization of each gun can mix things up a bit. For instance, in the beginning of the game I was given a pistol and a few other gun parts I was able to use to convert my pistol into a SMG. This is all done simply by pressing up on the d-pad. That will allow you to see where you can add or subtract attachments from whatever weapon you have equipped, and you can do this on the fly which is nice. You are probably wondering if what was wrong with the game at launch was fixed, and for the most part I can say it is. The frame rate is ssssoooooo much better. Almost to the point where I only saw it drop during a huge firefight with all kinds of bombs going off. Other that that I haven't noticed anything super obvious. The patch I had to download after installing the game was almost 10 gigs so I imagine there was a lot fixed, and like I said I finished the game and didn't come across anything other than one or two frame rate dips during intense firefights and some minor AI issues. If you haven't played Homefront yet it is totally worth $17.00 to $20.00 at gamestop or anywhere you can find it cheaper than PSN. I think you will be a bit surprised at how fun it CAN be. Again, this game did not justify the 60 dollar launch price, and I totally agree with most of the lower user scores because this game was totally broken at launch. That said if you haven't played it and can afford 20 bucks go ahead and try it out. I had a lot of fun with it.… Expand

    This game has a very high potential, but all the bugs and crashes ruin it. The story is quite fun and interesting. the gameplay is not always the same which is good. I don’t get why it’s so hated, I’ve just finished and after 20hrs of playing I can say that I had fun. A 6 is the perfect mark for this game.

    This is not a straight up shooter like CoD, Battlefield or Doom. The aim is not to kill everyone on sight asap like many other popular first person shooters, but to take them by surprise and then win the engagement despite their overwhelming numbers and firepower. Non-regenerating health, limited ammo and resources keep it grounded in reality. The enemies actually patrol the streets, aware of your suspicious actions, use environmental cover and breach a building at multiple entry points. You can ambush 3 guys coming up the stairs, but another one will come in through the window. The A.I. is not dumb, not at the highest difficulty that I am playing on.

    Homefront The Revolution is a misunderstood game because it doesn't follow the mould of popular shooters like CoD or Battlefield. However, credit must be given when it is due. Other than the Metro series, there is no other intelligent shooter on the market right now that is like Homefront The Revolution. Despite the challenges that the team faced during development; their bold vision, unyielding persistence and determination to do something different in a already crowded FPS market should be commended.

    For those who are enjoying Homefront The Revolution as much as I do, Dambuster Studios have created something really special for gamers to enjoy.    … Expand

    My review of Homefront the Revolution for the PS4

    Pro Interesting story - While the story in Homefront the Revolution can come off as being cheesy I really didn’t have an issue with it (I like how they show the 2 North Koreans working in a garage which look very similar to the way the late Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak did).

    Interesting story - While the story in Homefront the Revolution can come off as being cheesy I really didn’t have an issue with it (I like how they show the 2 North Koreans working in a garage which look very similar to the way the late Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak did). I like these alternate history story from 2003 Freedom Fighter (in which the Russians won the Cold War) to 2014 Wolfenstein The New Order & Amazon Instant Video The Man in the High Castle (in which the Nazi won World War 2 which for me as a Jewish person is very scary indeed) to the 90’s sitcoms Sliders.

    Long Campaign - From someone who enjoys games with a strong single contents (there is a four player co-op mode) this to me is a plus. The campaign is about (from what I’ve heard) 20 hours long but it can be longer if you are willing to take on the side missions like random events, finding radios & weapons stash and side jobs like kill 5 seekers with a shotgun or take out a certain number of KPA soldiers with a molotov cocktail.

    FarCry Approach - For those who like the way Ubisoft approaches open world games then you’ll probably like Homefront the Revolution. Basically you hack some kind os server (very easy to do) and once is done other areas in the map will open up such as bases and other side things to do. Bottom line is if you like that kind of approach in an open world game then you’ll probably like Homefront the Revolution.

    Guerrilla Tactics - I like how Homefront the Revolution encourage you not to go in gun ho (you can but you will get easily kill). instead you have to take a cautious approach like instead trying to go in the front door of a n enemy base you could…
    A. see if there is a ramp and if there is one you can hop on a motorcycle and ride the ramp into the enemy base or…
    B. find a backdoor and unlock it and try to take a stealthy approach to it and try to take down the enemy quietly.

    Modifying Your Weapons on the Fly - And finally another neat feature I like that they put into Homefront the Revolution is the ability to add & switch attachment to your weapons. For example if you want to add (or detach) a scope to your shotgun or assault rifle all you have to do is push the up button on your PS4 control to bring up what attachment are available, hold the R1 button and move the left analog stick to which scope you want to use and it will be added on to your weapon right away (you don’t have to go to your base to add or remove modification to your weapon). Also you do have the ability to craft certain weapons like molotov cocktail or home made bombs (you’ll need the material to make them since they are scattered all across the game).

    Cons

    Too similar to FarCry- Although I enjoyed the gameplay in Homefront the Revolution it really doesn’t do anythings that hasn’t been in other games like the Assassin Creed or FarCry series or even the Watch Dogs game. It doesn’t mean its a bad game it just doesn’t do any thing new that all.

    Lack of Polish - Probably the biggest issue facing Homefront the Revolution. While the game is certainly playable you can definitely see the lack of polish in this game. First off you’ll need to download the day one patch because the game without it is almost unplayable and while the the patch does fix a lot of the problems there are still some issue such as getting stuck in one place (this happen to me once and I had to restart the game at my last save), ok visuals (a little bit better then The Divisions but that not saying much), a below 30fps ( probably around 25fps), a somewhat long loading screen and finally I’ve notices that every time I exit a shop the game pauses for about 5 to 10 second.

    Overall - I have mix feeling about Homefront the Revolution. While I definitely like the approach they made to this game. It’s lack of polish is what hold it back and I think that a damn shame thought (not to mention the development hell it went through). While I don’t think the game is as bad as some reviewers have said its far from a perfect game and that a shame because I do want this game to do well but I have a feeling there a good chance this game will more then likely flop.    … Expand

The open world is densely populated with "stuff" that makes it actually feel like a character in the game, it is gritty and broken - an apt setting given the back story.

    On the story front, it has such awesome lore and is a truly unique shooter in this regard, however it is again rather poorly executed, with forgettable characters and lame dialogue.

    Bug run rife in the game, NPCS get stuck in walls or in between objects, your character can get woefully atuck as well in geometry and the saving system causes the game to lag for a good 1-3 seconds. Graphically it is adequate.

    This i can all forgive for the horrid development cycle it has gone through. But i simply cannot help but feel like ot just needs a bit more baking time to make it what it should be, at least technically anyway.    … Expand

    It's not really a BAD game, in fact it starts off quite enjoyable. After a while though, the game starts to feel old and tired, and makes you want to take a break so you don't burn yourself out. However, I will most likely play the game to completion, so it's not so bad as to make me want to turn around and sell it before even finishing it.

    The game blends FPS with stealth mechanics, platforming puzzles and an open world component that sends you out taking over fortresses. Once a fortress is taken over, you have liberated a portion of that sector, which puts more of your guys on the streets and less of theirs.

    Overall, I would list the game as average. I would still recommend it to someone who enjoyed similar games, but it's nothing fantastical! You won't be gushing about its greatness to friends and family.    … Expand

    There are games on the PS4 such as Just Cause 3 and the Evil Within where the framerate is much much worse,but the game is still playable and I enjoyed both. Maybe my standards are not too high since I use to play high end games on crappy computer.

    Anyways, the atmosphere is awesome and graphics are pretty good. I'm hoping future patches will resolve some of the other minor bugs here and there and make the AI smarter. But other than that, the game is a mixture of Dying Light with a tense atmosphere and scavenging for loot. I'm enjoying it so far much more than Far Cry and Assassin's Creed Syndicate as many have said it's a mixture of those. I really do feel like it's more like Dying Light with guns. Is it worth 60 bucks? No. But if you enjoyed Dying Light, I think this is worth playing. Buying is up to you. .    … Expand

But slowly, and surely, your protagonist grows into the game. Weapon unlocks and upgrades as well as new and more bold tactics give you the feeling that you are becoming the greatest weapon the resistance has. The KPA too grow, nearly in response, and never did I ever find a way to counter their sheepishly annoying airships. I enjoyed H:TR for nearly 25-30 hours. I've even got a second play through in mind. I know the Co-Operative is also there if ever I find two buddies willing to shell out ten quid with me so doubt my time with Philadelphia is near an end yet.… Expand

    I enjoyed this game more than others... It's not great by any means, but definitely fine for a spin if you get it cheap. This game has some good ideas - most of which are borrowed from other titles such as far cry etc. Visuals and frame rates could definitely be fine tuned a lot.

    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.

    Yes, there are glitches, bugs, and pretty terrible AI. But there are also good shooter mechanics, great level design, and one of the coolest weapon mod tools I've ever seen in a game. On level design - I think special acknowledgement should go to the developers for creating a world that you can run through to lose your pursuers. Turn down a back alley, hop a fence, climb a fire escape to the top of a building and fight of hordes of attacking "Norks." It's really well designed. You can also blind fire from cover, which I thought was a nice touch.

    The one thing that detracts from the experience are definitely the bugs. I feel I would be misleading if I didn't mention that on the most recent patch all markers on the map disappeared along with all NPC's so I was left wandering an empty world all by my lonesome. The developers have addressed this and are working on a fix, but my point is if you're interested in getting this you should. Get it on Ebay for a discount or wait till it goes on sale, which I'm sure won't be long. Once the devs have put a decent amount of time into tackling bugs this game is going to be a great time.    … Expand

It was strange that I could not wander around the streets totally freely. I accidently bumped into a soldier and he shot me dead. Maybe that's the mindset I was supposed to be in, but it was strange. The gameplay also does not have it's own identity. At times it wanted to be far cry and at other times, it wanted to be a poor dying light clone. The animations just looked so similar at times that it seemed like code could have been ripped straight from those other games.

Ps4 pro patch makes it look good. Some parts are hard but not too hard. Pro tip: hit up the gun dispensor often to force the game to save. You lose less progress when you die that way. This game is urban Farcry. It's decent.

    I like this game, sadly I cannot sey it's amazing but I do like it, and I like it in exist because it is a miracle when you look at the development history , But something I can wholeheartedly raise the game for is how they How the weapons work and how they feel too shoot my personal favourite was the shotgun because it's one of those games when a shotgun is actually usable from longI like this game, sadly I cannot sey it's amazing but I do like it, and I like it in exist because it is a miracle when you look at the development history , But something I can wholeheartedly raise the game for is how they How the weapons work and how they feel too shoot my personal favourite was the shotgun because it's one of those games when a shotgun is actually usable from long distance , And if you played on a PC then I would give it a 8… Expand

    Plus stuff+ The fun was the general gunplay and running around zones exploring. I had some extra fun figuring out how to get to stashes with some basic parkour elements. I think I preferred the open combat of the derelict red zones over the sneaking and hiding in the civilian yellow zones. Then again 100% pure red zone combat would probably be overtly repetitive for a long game like this IPlus stuff+ The fun was the general gunplay and running around zones exploring. I had some extra fun figuring out how to get to stashes with some basic parkour elements. I think I preferred the open combat of the derelict red zones over the sneaking and hiding in the civilian yellow zones. Then again 100% pure red zone combat would probably be overtly repetitive for a long game like this I played over five days or so. I do like one character in the game Jack Parrish who doesn't come across like an edgy tryhard like the rest. That Doctor is annoying as F though.

    Middling stuff: The general story is ok-ish. Dialogue is mostly ok-ish. A lot of extra lore stuff is told in picking up collectable logs. Thing is the creators try for an emotional impactive story and fleshing it out log wise, but when I recruit the A.I. squad? They are all copy/paste models and act like dumb cannon fodder. That so detracts from the humanity of the experience the creators want you to feel.

    Minus stuff- Yes generic rundown industrial local. Seen it all done before combat. Crappy vehicle controls. Nothing new via revolution storyline. Just an average open map shooter with generic looting and survival mechanics tacked on. The characters are mostly a fail and the dialogue is full of way to edgy "F" bombs all the time. The enemy A.I. is not best and uber near sighted unless a sniper class.

    Runs fine, looks very nice, no performance problems on legacy PS4. So I must of picked it up after they patched those issues out or something. Diamond in the rough for sure, because the 9/10 fun factor was higher than the 6/10 technical score.    … Expand

    Lo apruebo por pena y porque al final no le pillé tanta tirria, pero es un juego muy muy muy flojo. Empezando por el apartado técnico y siguiendo por el tópico de los tópicos de los mundos en los que hay un malo que tiene tomada la ciudad y un grupo rebelde se dispone a salvarla. No tiene nada que no hayas visto en otros juegos, y ni mucho menos es de los mejores o ligeramente destacableLo apruebo por pena y porque al final no le pillé tanta tirria, pero es un juego muy muy muy flojo.

Es repetitivo, monótono, lineal y aburrido en ciertas partes, pero que si lo compras por 5 - 10€ máximo te puede dar un rato de diversión que amortice ese dinero en él.… Expand

    Genérico demais. Os mapas até que são legais e a história também. Falta algo diferente dos FPS... tem um vai e vem nos mapas que chega a cansar quem vai fazer os 100%. Os mesmos objetos em todos os mapas é bem chato de fazer, por isso as DLCs do jogo são mais legais que a própria história do jogo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es ist ein Spiel mit achöner Atmosphäre und auch das Gameplay ist top aber die Story ist sehr einseitig die Charaktere sind Egoistisch und unsympathisch und es macht keinen spaß eine Story zu spielen in der du dauerhaft ins Unheil gerissen wirst und du nix dagegen tun kannst… Expand

    An interesting but underwhelming take on the open-world shooter - novel, but seriously janky. [July 2016, p.68]

    A messy jumble of broken parts. [Aug 2016, p.112]

    Botched and broken, irritating and offensive, this samey, soulless sandbox fails to overthrow the old regime's ruling shooters. Good guns, mind. [July 2016, p.75]
