Homefront: The Revolution

Set in a near-future Philadelphia under the thumb of a brutal military occupation, this open-world shooter tasks you with leading a scrappy resistance movement. You will scavenge for parts, customize your arsenal on the fly, and engage in guerrilla warfare to reclaim the city from high-tech oppressors. While the premise of a fallen America is compelling and the weapon-modding system offers some tactical satisfaction, the experience is often hampered by technical hiccups and a narrative that struggles to match its ambitious setting. It is a game of big ideas that frequently trips over its own feet.
