Homefront®: The Revolution

I'll be so real I only bought this because there's a secret PC port of TimeSplitters 2 in this thanks to one dev but I wanted to give the game itself a fair shot; So, let me start by saying the game LOOKS good. That's all I'll give it. The graphics are decent. Other than that? It ain't really got much going for it. It's this generic 'war' sorta game. Alternate-Timeline America has been enslaved by a technologically-superior North Korea or 'The Norks' as the characters refer to them. Your main goal throughout the whole thing is to rescue the leader of your resistance, Benjamin Walker. That's literally your entire goal. That's the WHOLE game. Not even kidding. It's just leap-frogging from one 'this is how we'll get Walker back bois' to another. I didn't care for many of the characters as they all have the same goal of retrieving Walker, putting an end to 'Nork' occupation but just have different ideas of how to do it. You've got the macho one who wants to fight head-on, the violent one who wants revenge, 'the nice one' who is a pacifist, the would-be-scientist who is good with tech and the one who sells you out as are common tropes in everything, not a bad thing there but beyond their architypes, the characters aren't characters. As I say, I gave the game a fair chance and powered through to the end. A few parts made me laugh and, as said, the graphics are amazing for a game released in 2016 but, not enough for me to actually like it. Any further hours on this game will 100% be me playing the secret port of TimeSplitters 2 because I can't see myself genuinely replaying this game ever lmao Thanks to that one dev that hid it. You made this purchase worth it.

This game... aged like wine? Uh??? The premise is generic, yes, but... in 2025... this is... unique? It plays like far cry minus the huge map and cars except for bikes, the missions are good. The side quests like conquering territories system is more bearable than.... Farcry6? (Both theme hit the same with revolution) There's no PR narrative or cringe, everything is presented as it should. Gameplay is fun and fluid. The only con is the weapon modification during mid combat, that can be annoying, but if you can avoid it. It's a good game. I'm just shocked. I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a feeling of what it used to be like in fps games in the 2009 with a descent modern graphic. And it has Timesplitter2.

Worth picking up on sale just to have a PC port of TimeSplitters 2. The game it comes with is... Fine, I guess.

Came for the TimeSplitters 2, stayed for the TimeSplitters 2. Did you know this game has an HD copy of TimeSplitters 2 built into it that you can fully unleash via a simple mod? and to the unholy shifting vortex of publishers that find themselves temporarily owning this franchise and doing nothing with it. Are you aware that people actually like TimeSplitters and want more of it?

Homefront: The Revolution es el sueño húmedo de un capitalismo en crisis: prefieren imaginar que Corea del Norte los invade a admitir que su propio sistema los llevó a la ruina. ¿Revolución? Solo es un cosplay de insurgentes para occidentales que, tras apagar la consola, seguirán sin cuestionar por qué su gobierno gasta en bombas en vez de en hospitales. La verdadera resistencia sería apagar el juego y organizarse... pero eso no vende DLCs." 🔻 En otras palabras: El juego es la versión gamer de "el problema son los de afuera", un relato que entretiene pero nunca desafía la ideología dominante. Mientras tanto, la propaganda occidental sigue sin autocrítica: ¡mejor culpar a Pyongyang que a Wall Street! 💸🎮 El tema de jugabilidad ya esta en otras reseñas Yo politizo la estética porque cuestiono cómo el arte, los videojuegos o los símbolos culturales reproducen ideologías dominantes. EE.UU. estatifica la política porque convierte todo—desde los derechos humanos hasta la 'defensa de la democracia'—en herramientas de su máquina imperial. Mientras yo señalo cómo Homefront glorifica el nacionalismo, ellos usan esa misma retórica para invadir países, imponer sanciones y vender armas. ¿El resultado? Critico el símbolo; ellos controlan el material. Mi lucha es cultural; la de ellos, geopolítica. Y mientras debatimos pixels, el Pentágono sigue financiando guerras reales." Yo analizo la representación del poder; ellos ejercen el poder. ¿Quién tiene más impacto: quien deconstruye un videojuego o quien fabrica drones? La estética es el campo de batalla de los oprimidos; la política estatal, el arma de los opresores.

Worth it for the fantastic Timesplitters 2 port. Literally nothing else.

Game is on sale for $3 and you get 2 games in one. Not sure about the main game but TimeSplitters 2 is totally worth it. Look up TS2 Redux on Github. It's a mod that allows to launch directly and play TimeSplitters 2 in it's entirety with native keyboard and mouse controls. The only gripe I have with the mod is it doesn't save your game progression though which kinda sucks but it's still fun to play through the levels as you remember them on PS2,Xbox,GameCube.

This game has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure. It gives me this classic gaming feel while also being a pretty addictive open world. Now yes it is a checklist open world “urban far cry” as some call it. I actually prefer it over say Far Cry 6. So here’s Pros & Cons in my opinion. Pros • The World is beautiful and Immersive • Gunplay feels arcade like but weapons have actual feedback(You can just hip fire guns which is the arcade like i speak about) • Takedowns(are always a win) and can be brutal • Weapon Conversions(being able to change an AR into an LMG or a Bolt Action into a Firework launcher is so goofy but so awesome) • Difficulty(I like that you have to actually plan and be cautious when engaging in firefights because if you aren’t careful you can be killed very quickly) Neutral • Story( so I’m putting the story in a neutral position because while it isn’t a revolutionary story and the voice acting can be hit or miss it’s enjoyable to play through) Cons •AI( I’m not super picky when it comes to this a lot of games I love have not great AI but I can’t lie when the enemies just run in a line at you down an alley or literally watch you stab someone and do nothing can be rough) • Loading screens( unfortunately pretty much any area you go to you will have atleast 1 or two loading screens. It is bearable but I still count it as a con) • No Fov Slider( you must go into the config files to change this, which is more of nit pick but for most Pc games it’s a standard. Double note I set mine to 85 anything above crashes my game) So if someone is reading this and can’t decide imo $20 is actually not a bad amount but waiting for a sale is not a bad choice either. I would recommend the Homefront bundle because I enjoy both the original and this one)
