Homefront®: The Revolution

If freedom means janky AI and fetch quests, I surrender, Feels less like a revolution, more like a budget uprising.

Close enough, welcome back Timesplitters 2

No but actually, this game contains the entirety of TS2 within it used for a little easter egg and there's a community patch that can delete everything else and just leave you with a modern port of TS2. It regularly goes on sale for cheap, and it's worth it for that alone in my eyes.

6.0/10, at least Dana dies

One of the reasons I bought this game was for TimeSplitters 2, and I still haven't made it to the area where you can access the arcade machine for it, I've been rushing through the story on the easiest settings, and trying to use the best weapons I could have, But the game is SO Painfully Average it's insulting, No redeeming qualities, Nothing that hasn't been done before or has been done better in the future, (Or the past for that matter) The shooting is painfully average as well, just barely passable, enemy A.I is not fun to fight, And the characters are just awful, I hate games that have this and FORCE you to watch cutscenes, walk behind the jackasses that like to stop in place and say "Hey, listen to what I have to say it is quite important." with no way to walk around them while they talk, or able to go ahead of them. EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER sucks in this game, You don't care about The Revolution, You don't care about what you are fighting for, and not to mention this game cost $20 by default, there are so many better games that are either Cheaper, or Exactly the same price that do what this game does but so much better. If you are buying this just to access TimeSplitters 2 on Steam... why?! You have emulators that can run the game just fine. I bought it not just for TimeSplitters 2, But I honestly thought this would be one of those 6/10 or 7/10 games that are actually kinda fun, but damn... this game is just not it. Don't buy this for TimeSplitters 2, first off PCSX2 runs it great, and Dolphin has a special custom made emulator that lets you use Mouse and Keyboard for TimeSplitters 2. Skip this crap even when it's on sale.

bought if SOLELY for TS2

TLDR: Too many crashes on AMD. But game is decent.

Game's fun, stealth is lackluster but possible on occasion but this game calls for direct confrontation. Beware of crashes on AMD GPU after several hours, well past your refund window.

this game is not just boring and repetitive but also really cliche.

I paid £2.66 for this, I would recommend at that price but not full. The fov is terrible, it didn't bother me on foot although not what I would choose if I had the option but on the motorbike it was annoying as hell. You can't change the audio language to be different than the interface which I prefer to do.

It has its flaws and bugs, but if you get it on sale, it's definitely worth it.

This game is very good!

Fun but full of buggy things. Wait for sale like I did.

Fun game.

hunting commies is fun

it's time to split!

Bought game on sale for $2.99 --- ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH $19.99

Got about 19 hours out of the base game, had fun overall but don't come in with high expectations.

The weapon swap mechanic is interesting, the world itself and the plot is entertaining. It's a fun game to just turn your brain off and play.

DLC is not recommended

Honestly, would probably be okish with a controller. Feels like an xbox game.... Shame I only have it on Steam lol. Gun control and movement is garbage with M&K. Would not recommend

ok game I guess lol.

Game is sort of meh, but was apparently duct taped together and released at the last second. So, it is relatively impressive from that perspective. Basically a super budget Far Cry in a city. Story is meh, gunplay is meh, definitely a bit buggy. Game makes up for it by having a few unique game design choices and flawed (in a good way) characters. Pretty fun for 3 dollars.

6.8/10

I can't get any progress in the game because it crashes every 10 minutes

A very mediocre game.

The game looks and runs well. But it's so boring. The same thing over and over. Kill a few enemies and capture a building.
When you are riding on the motorcycle. You can't even open your map. You need to hop off. Open map then hop back on. When you are on your phone looking for a supply crate. You can't jump or other actions. You need to hop off your phone. Move then back on your cell.

"A beautiful disaster worth your patience"

Homefront: The Revolution is both brilliant and frustrating — a breath of fresh air where the developers dared to experiment and bring something new to the table. And for that alone, it deserves recognition.

That said, the game is undeniably broken in many ways. There are so many flaws that listing them all here feels pointless. Just know that this is not a polished experience — it’s a rough gem that constantly demands your patience and forgiveness.

Still, I’m leaving a positive review. Why? Because this game has scenes, ideas, and moments that most modern studios wouldn’t have the guts to include. It’s bold. It tries. It fails often, but it tries, and that matters.

Buy it — but only at a deep discount. You’ll need to give it a second chance… again and again. But if you can endure its many flaws, you’ll find something special underneath.

To the developers: don’t give up. Learn from this, and move forward. You have vision — now refine it.

It really is just Far Cry.

If you love Far Cry, then this is not far cry from Far Cry.

Far cry but revolution

I absolutely loved this game. While it is not without its bugs, I couldn't peel myself away from it once I started. Great story, mechanics, gun-play, and enough freedom to do things in many different ways. Will be playing again soon!

amazing game incredible immersive and they absolutely got the resistance feel nailed down

one of my faverates

"We have New Order at home"

A sloppy/if sometimes engaging experience. A pretty blatant far-cry clone with a laughably ridiculous premise and badly told story; but i cant deny its immersive sim light design and better then average combat sandbox makes it a oddly nostalgic experience. You can see the glimmers of the smarter game buried under the all the dumb stuff.

The DLC is honestly fantastic though; providing some genuinely great combat and pace.

A decent time; if cheap.

7/10

Haven't played the game but it's worth getting for the Timesplitters 2 port.

This is isn't like the first homefront. if you're a person who likes single player shooters and can get this for a cheap price it can be fun and is worth a shot. there are alot of very confusing capture points which the game gives you no help. that can make the game frustrating and boring. The story is interesting and has moments of action and stealth and Takes around 12 or so Hours to complete. The graphics to this game are amazing for how old of a game it is. 6.8/10

Homefront the Revolution is slop of a different era, different even than when it was released. Cast your mind back to when the default game was a modern military first person shooter (MMFPS) and Call of Duty was the worst thing the industry could imagine. That's the time that this game belongs, it drew undeserved ire on release that I can only understand as bafflement that such a vestigial aspect of the prior generation had not just persisted, but released beyond its time. Almost like seeing a tyrannosaurus walk down the street, only much less impressive.

There was some higher asperation in game design, but the guns are pretty limp, there's some beyond rudimentary stealth, okay feeling vehicles, it's all kind of passible-ish... sort of. It reduces the open world and greater relative freedom of approach in some instances to being small peaks of enjoyment rather than anything great.

If this game came out a few years earlier, people would've been fine with it. If I had played it back then, I'd probably be singing it's praise as a forward thinking and ambitious game wrapped in a MMFPS coating. But I didn't, and as such I really don't care about it. It doesn't evoke much of anything from me, it's totally fine and for $3 on sale I couldn't really recommend it or not.

The only thing that pushes me into decision is TimeSplitters, the real reason I bought this.

It's ok, it takes wayyy too long to unlock and it doesn't work well for actually experiencing the game instead of single levels. Honestly, just go emulate it. You'll have to anyway to play the other 2 games if you really enjoy it and it probably just works better than it does here. Even if you think emulators are REALLY complicated, it took me around 6 hours to unlock TS2 in this game and I doubt you'll spend that much time on the emulator, even if you do you'll have learned something and not have your time mildly wasted.

too many bugs the 1st game was fun but this was ruined by bugs

amazing game honestly, i cried twice during the campaign, got it for 3 usd while it was on sale

this game is horrible, 0/10, owning it is an aura loss

It's alright, but it’s held back by clunky mechanics and a forgettable story. Worth grabbing for a few bucks if you’re into dystopian shooters, just don’t expect a masterpiece.

After all these years, it is still a fun game. It's a pretty simple game and the story is interesting. For fans of FPS games, this is definitely worth the money if you find it on sale.

idk why the hate for this game its pretty okay
reminds me of terminator resistance

Its a good game. Dont listen to bad reviews.

This games crashes after every 5-10 min i wont recommend any one to buy this game just to waist time

Love this game, I can't speak for the state it was in on launch, but I just finished it now and I loved the game and all DLC. Really worth the price with the current sale, basically the same price as a cup of coffee for a one of a kind experience, there aren't many games that put you in a situation where you care about your resources, but since this game is a story of a revolution against the norks, you face the limitation of what an insurgency would face, forcing you to think smart and use terrain advantage to win. TL;DR better than wolfenstein imo story wise.

This game is great and makes my american penner hard, but its not very polished but again this was made in 2016 so I can't bash it that hard, the story wasn't bad and it has a lot of play time if you tried to beat it as fast as you could it would still take at the least 5 hours and there's a co-op mode to add a few more hours but in the end great game and would start a revolution in the homefront to see a 3rd game, stay good everyone and fuck the Norks

At it's core, it's not bad. Sale for 2,99? Try it, it can't hurt. Decent graphics and gunplay.

But after a while it gets pretty stale, because it feels you do the same things over and over again. Liberate a part of the map, one out of three animations (wow).

very cool story line pretty fun game

I'm mixed review on this game. As that being said there are good and bad about this game. First of all the story line is good, but is has some small bugs here and there. Sometime if your using a cheat engine you may experience some bugs and glitches to a bit worse. Some of you may say why? Why is because I've already completed it before without cheats. But anyways the graphics from when the game was made is cool and how you can mod your guns and change them from a pistol to a smg and so on with the rest. Now the negative part is the game ends for you either have to go back to the save before the last mission or just start a new game, also no profiles for you can have multiple saves for your family and friends, the DLC's are so short you can complete it in no time unlike the main game and the main character in the main game doesn't have a voice actor which i like it but don't at the same time i like it that's your preference if you like it or not. If they were still working on this game I'd would say Please make the DLC's longer and more fun then short and simple, but that's not the case. If I had to give it a rating between 1 and 10 I would say its a 8 out of 10. As of right now with the Sale on the game for like a few $ its a great price even if you don't like it your not out a lot of money.

Was well and good for the first 10 hours. The setup is nonsense and the story is mid, of course, but for 3 clams I knew what I was in for. The shooting feels decent. A little spongey if anything, but alright. I really enjoyed the weapon customization, a system that I've seen carry over from other titles that use Deep Silver like Exodus.

However, unlike Exodus, after the 10 hour mark the game began to inexplicably freeze every 30 or so minutes, right in the middle of objectives for missions. No amount of dinking with graphics, resetting, updates or fixes could remedy this issue. It was surprisingly upsetting, I was enjoying my time through the game.

I wish I could give this a good rating, but the game has major performance issues. I would pass.

Doesn't work on steam deck, just leaving for awareness. it loads the intro video about North Korea tech but after crashes.

Very fun game. It uses map zones and you have to go to portal doors to load between them. first person perspective. The on the fly weapon part swapping is a neat feature. so for example the pistol when you hit the key it allows you to swap off the pistol slider for say a silencer or a machine pistol slider, also can take off or put on say a handle for the rail and swap off n on scopes, lasers, sometimes silencers or vented muzzle break. Colonial marines does this also but in the settings menu, this game does it live during gameplay, some players will find this annoying, as you can take damage limiting usage or to rush to avoid damage from enemies.

my personal preference, id prefer a 3rd person camera. The 1st person camera is good, but for me i get motion sickness.

This should have been the first and only game in the franchise , its as good as the original is generic.

i played this game back in release on Xbox, and now on PC - I've added an infodump with my experiences of this game on my computer!

• CPU - Intel i7 3770
• GPU - Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
• RAM - 16GB DDR4
+ Running off of an External SSD.

InfoDump:
The game runs at a steady 59-64 fps, at loading around 49, and during cutscenes etc at 100-120.
Cry Engine is fucking terrific and this game is insanely optimised, nevermind my fps which I don't even get on low-mid CS2 settings, it looks like unreal engine 5 but runs like its on steroids and speed.
Sometimes the animations can be choppy but are ALWAYS snapped to their intended item (if you decide to use bolt cutters on a door it'll automatically snap to where you would actually use the bolt cutters and not some random part of the door) and there are places you can get stuck on (fences will automatically put you into a slide, and if you're near a wall you'll be zooming) but if eventually it kicks you off on its own. These little QoL changes just make the game feel so much more real.
Yes this game might seem a little of the evasive type but even then you get to explore caches which are in rooms! AND ROOMS! DID I MENTION THERE IS 3D INTERIORS EVEN ON PLACES YOU CANT ENTER?!
As for gun play, every time you upgrade your gun and add attachments you will see a noticeable difference in damage or accuracy unlike other games where its just a slither - and also did i mention you can literally customise your weapons on the run including changing their intended use like turning a fucking Pistol into an SMG using a CONVERSION KIT?! (mind blowing)


unfortunately you cant change fov so 0/10

Game was fun until it glitched on Defend against the KPA around the city section, the game didn't allow any soldier to die on the KPA side, but if i stabbed them, they would "die" in place, but still be an active blip on the screen. I tried restarting the level to experience the same glitch. Frustrating as hell. There's no way I want to replay the preceding chapter just to see if it glitches again, so I'm done.

The camera perspective never shifts to show the character, and there are long, unskippable cutscenes. I didn’t like the shooting mechanics. Overall, it’s just a game that I didn’t like and found quite off-putting

got the game for $3
