2016 had many terrible games released, with Homefront: The Revolution being tagged as the worst of the worst from that year. Despite a fairly large ad campaign and hype, the game failed to set the world on fire, with largely terrible reviews and glitches galore, it went to the $20 rack a couple months later. Everyone claimed that it is one of the worst games ever made, but is it truly worthy of that title? The story is set in an alternate not-too-distant future, with North Korea leading the world, and the US owing trillions to Korea, and when we can't pay, they take over the States, to "improve" our lives. You play a resistance fighter, heck bent on rescuing the leader of the resistance and ending the Korean occupation. The story is decent enough, enough to make it playable for the 15-20 hours you play, but with clichéd characters and plot lines, it fails to breathe life into the FPS genre. Graphics, and especially the lighting effects are terrific, with some environments looking the same but the day and night lighting is a looker. Sound effects are nothing special but do the job and controls and gunplay do well enough, as well. Game play overall is fun enough, but some things take time to get used to. I like the concept of swapping out different guns (From pistol of SMG) and the potential of the RC cars, but it seems shoehorned in on the last months of development. Missions can be repetitive and the ending fails to truly satisfy (The DLC ends the storyline with satisfaction, but paying more than the game costs for each one is hard to justify) but it is far from the worst game of 2016, let alone ever. It is painfully average with some good ideas executed none to well. The Day 1 exclusive from Best Buy is like the game, okay but not the best. The steelbook is well-built and fairly sturdy, but the DLC isn't great, mainly just weapons and no extra DLC, unfortunately. Worth the $12.99 but not for all tastes.
