    I found this game pretty good actually. I love the atmosphere and there are some nice ideas. It's a good melting between Dying Light and Far Cry with a lot of exploration on a huge map.

    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 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

    I finished it a couple months ago on an Xbox Series S, which enables a 60 fps boost that makes the game feel pretty good to play. Controls are solid and the gunplay, albeit a bit mindless, is also pretty decent. The gimick of guns being customizable to the point of becoming other guns was also pretty neat, even if it is a bit dumb.
    The story and characters, however is where the game definitely falters. Nothing to do with the story is really interesting and the characters are extremely one note with no development. The ending is a mess where certain things happen but also don't and its really in a hurry to finish the story off to the point where it ends up becoming a bit goofy in the last few minutes.
    Story aside, If it goes on sale for real cheap and you own a Series console or a solid pc (not sure if it has any enhancements on PS5), I'd honestly recomend this game if you just want a simple, easy to play shoot game.    … Expand

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (3) Painful. If there is anything that’s redeeming in a game of this caliber, it’s buried beneath agonizing gameplay and uneven execution in its features or theme.

    I think this game deserves a lower score but after my first few hours in the game, I just decided it wasn’t worth my time so gave up on the game. I was instantly turned off by seeing enemies directly in front of me just disappear or appear and other bugs. I didn’t experience anything game breaking but then I didn’t play long to give it a chance to break on me. I would bet money that I would experience something game breaking though if I did play more of it. Very disappointed, I was a fan of the original Homefront.    … 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.

It was a great experience to unlock a new mod for your rifle. a second part of Homefront would be great, but after all these bad reviews I don`t think they produce another one.

    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.

    I really wanted to give this game a change, and I admire that the developers fixed some of the problems in later updates. Also the environments are well done. However, the game is bland and repetitive, the story is terrible, the game is buggy, and it is just not the most enjoyable time. However, the game is only 20$ brand new, and to be fair you get what you payed for.

    Get it cheap. 15$. Takes a while to get into like many games. At first hated it. Gave it another try. Now that I've accepted it's open world/Farcry vibe, I kinda like it. 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.
