14 Worst Video Games Of 2016

9. Homefront: The Revolution

Homefront: The Revolution really wanted to get some of Far Cry's open-ended structure dollars, resulting in a game that had a carefree, explorative nature, right alongside a great alternate history setup where America is invaded by North Korean forces.

This resulted in a cool, "Take back our country, one place at a time!"-style setup, but - like Mirror's Edge - its forever upended by naff design at every turn. And not just unsatisfying controls, but a confused tone that has oppressive themes that parallel and delve into real-world war torn countries... sitting next to a gun that shoots fireworks in the colours of the American flag.

As you do.

One for the B-tier or 6/10 pile, there's nothing offensively bad in how Homefront presents itself, but because of that - and when it had such potential to analyse global politics and American culture simultaneously - it's simply one hell of a disappointing misfire.
