9 Worst Video Games Of 2016 (So Far)

6. Homefront: The Revolution

From one bland execution on a standard formula, to a more copycat attempt at cashing in on one. Homefront: The Revolution really wants to have Far Cry's open-ended structure and somewhat carefree nature - even bolstering that ideology with a great alternate history setup where America is invaded by North Korean forces.

It results in a cool, "Take back our country!"-style setup, but - like Mirror's Edge - it's one upended by naff design at every turn. And not just unsatisfying controls, but a confused tone that has oppressive themes and comparisons that parallel and delve into real-world events... 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.
