Not to be confused with "Homefront: Revolution" (which is, apparently, a "re-imagining"), Homefront is a FPS set in a apocalyptic post-invasion America in 2027, after North Korea has re-united with South Korea, and Korea has become a superpower.

The montage showing North Korea's movement from pariah state to world superpower, includes a "OMG 6 MILLION DEAD FROM AVIAN FLU!", which at the time of release probably felt apocalyptic, but with 6.7M dead of COVID, and counting, feels both a bit on the nose, and also a bit "and?"

The initial setup with one scene that would require a CW if I described it; once things kick into motion, so far it's a pretty average run & gun shooter; the AI seems to like one-shotting, so it's kind of slow making forward movement.

Apparently there's a serious storyline, but I didn't manage to progress far enough through the prologue to find out. Ehhh. I might go back to it.

My initial rating for Homefront is:

3: OK
