Homefront: The Revolution is highly underrated (and now 10 quid incl. DLC)

Some of those shots are stunning tbh.

They are, great job SS-89.

Is the story any good, or is it all flash and no substance?

Story is ok, not great, not terrible, but the game mostly shines in atmosphere and gameplay.
Story could have been better if main protagonist was not silent. And in fact in the DLCs he speaks and it is immediate improvement.

This looks good. Will be buying this when I get home later.

Cheers they are using my sweetfx profile to be fair though which just spruces up the colours/contrast a bit.

Downloading now, see it's getting good comments, when it was released it was slated bigtime. I don't mind for £6 though but what's changed?

shankly1985 · 2 May 2017 at 19:29

Am running it maxed out @1440p with i7 3770k and R9 290
I avg around 50fps it plays so smooth.

Pretty much the same FPS as my setup except i5 750 @ 4GHz and 2560x1080 21.9.

It was slated for being buggy and poor performance. Both have been vastly improved with patches.

I bought it under recommendation from elsewhere and have not regretted once. Hours of solid gameplay.
Still fairly weak stealth action, it pretty much ends up being and gunfight which just keeps escalating so you have to run and hide a lot.
The 'puzzles' to get into certain action points are fun. Bit of platforming needed.

Think I might have just found the best easter egg in a game lol TimeSplitters 2 two full levels can be played... Loads of fun
They sure dont make games like that anymore

Paul_cz · 7 May 2017 at 06:27

Yep incredible easter egg, I had mindblown a bit. Timesplitters never had a PC version before.

Thas the best Easter egg I've ever seen, maybe a hint at something to come?

Edit
Steam review

Such a shame this game had a very bad launch, I wanted this game on release but with all the negative feedback it got I give it a miss. Couple years gone by I forgotten about this game till I seen on sale for £10 with all the DLC

The game is excellent

+Excellent Graphics

+Voice acting and face animations

+Level design

+Audio

+decent amount of things to do without it becoming annoying

+performance this was one of the reasons I didnt buy on release, happy to report here performance on my system was decent enough 1440p max settings I avg around 50fps

i7 3770k @4.2 AMD R9 290 @1005/1250 16GB DDR3 1866

-achievements glitches got a couple of them "This is our town, Nork" This one for example! I captured all them yet the progress says 67/69

-couple crash to desktop this was only couple times

8/10

And the DLC so far is even better than the standalone game.. That first DLC mission Wow!!!

Completed the main game yesterday, great fun! Very much like far cry but a lot better imo, at least compared to FC 4 anyway!

I never get why some game developers make your character a mute, does nothing for me other than ruin the immersion.

Yeah, silent protagonists suck. At least in DLC Ethan speaks though.

Now I am playing Prey and Morgan Yu is also quiet :/ My only gripe with the (otherwise fantastic) game. Although he speaks on recordings and such, which kinda makes it even stranger.

BriT · 8 May 2017 at 16:29

I agree, picked it up for 6 pounds on cdkeys with DLC.

Wilko_Dog · 9 May 2017 at 08:51

Picked this up yesterday/last night ... looks amazing in 1440p .. the lighting and shadows are unreal, well worth the £6 !
