Homefront: The Revolution

Close enough, welcome back Timesplitters 2
No but actually, this game contains the entirety of TS2 within it used for a little easter egg and there's a community patch that can delete everything else and just leave you with a modern port of TS2. It regularly goes on sale for cheap, and it's worth it for that alone in my eyes.

Worth picking up on sale just to have a PC port of TimeSplitters 2. The game it comes with is... Fine, I guess.

This game has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure. It gives me this classic gaming feel while also being a pretty addictive open world. Now yes it is a checklist open world “urban far cry” as some call it. I actually prefer it over say Far Cry 6. So here’s Pros & Cons in my opinion.
Pros
• The World is beautiful and Immersive
• Gunplay feels arcade like but weapons have actual feedback(You can just hip fire guns which is the arcade like i speak about)
• Takedowns(are always a win) and can be brutal
• Weapon Conversions(being able to change an AR into an LMG or a Bolt Action into a Firework launcher is so goofy but so awesome)
• Difficulty(I like that you have to actually plan and be cautious when engaging in firefights because if you aren’t careful you can be killed very quickly)

Neutral
• Story( so I’m putting the story in a neutral position because while it isn’t a revolutionary story and the voice acting can be hit or miss it’s enjoyable to play through)
Cons
•AI( I’m not super picky when it comes to this a lot of games I love have not great AI but I can’t lie when the enemies just run in a line at you down an alley or literally watch you stab someone and do nothing can be rough)
• Loading screens( unfortunately pretty much any area you go to you will have atleast 1 or two loading screens. It is bearable but I still count it as a con)
• No Fov Slider( you must go into the config files to change this, which is more of nit pick but for most Pc games it’s a standard. Double note I set mine to 85 anything above crashes my game)
So if someone is reading this and can’t decide imo $20 is actually not a bad amount but waiting for a sale is not a bad choice either. I would recommend the Homefront bundle because I enjoy both the original and this one)

Came for the TimeSplitters 2, stayed for the TimeSplitters 2.
Did you know this game has an HD copy of TimeSplitters 2 built into it that you can fully unleash via a simple mod?
and to the unholy shifting vortex of publishers that find themselves temporarily owning this franchise and doing nothing with it. Are you aware that people actually like TimeSplitters and want more of it?

This game... aged like wine? Uh???
The premise is generic, yes, but... in 2025... this is... unique?
It plays like far cry minus the huge map and cars except for bikes, the missions are good.
The side quests like conquering territories system is more bearable than.... Farcry6? (Both theme hit the same with revolution)
There's no PR narrative or cringe, everything is presented as it should.
Gameplay is fun and fluid. The only con is the weapon modification during mid combat, that can be annoying, but if you can avoid it. It's a good game. I'm just shocked.
I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a feeling of what it used to be like in fps games in the 2009 with a descent modern graphic.
And it has Timesplitter2.

Game is on sale for $3 and you get 2 games in one. Not sure about the main game but TimeSplitters 2 is totally worth it.
Look up TS2 Redux on Github. It's a mod that allows to launch directly and play TimeSplitters 2 in it's entirety with native keyboard and mouse controls. The only gripe I have with the mod is it doesn't save your game progression though which kinda sucks but it's still fun to play through the levels as you remember them on PS2,Xbox,GameCube.

4 Hours in so far in the first day of owning the game, it absolutely fills a niche for me being a city based FPS, graphics are fantastic for a 2016 game, way ahead of their time. There is a few breaks in between the chapters the rebellion ideal along with a few moments where I have almost sh%^t its kept me hooked and immersed, if you like the conquering idea of FarCry and or Halo Infinite but prefer something more domesticated i would certainly reccomend giving it a shot.
