Homefront: The Revolution review – an ambitious, but flawed shooter

With its open-world environment and emphasis on crafting, this is an interesting sequel, marred by glitches and frame rate issues

For years, the mainstream games industry has been accused of lacking ambition. The default strategy is to rely on big-budget franchises that get updated on an annual basis - until they stop selling.

It's refreshing, then, when a developer attempts something that palpably aims to push boundaries. That's what Dambuster Studios has done with Homefront: The Revolution, a fully open-world first-person shooter with an unusual cooperative multiplayer mode and an eye-catching story premise. Unfortunately, the resulting game is beset by technical problems.
