Homefront takes many different ideas from other games to put together a badly executed, clichéd experience. They mostly marketed this game as a great single player experience, but they should have focused more on marketing the multi-player experience, since it is much more polished and fun. To see our full video review of the Homefront multi-player, just click here.

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Yeah its nice, Just sign up and add them to your steam. even f you dont own a gaming PC, you might one day.
"They mostly marketed the game as a single player experience..."
Umm, no they didn't.
It was marketed just as heavily for multiplayer, if not more-so. I saw way more trailers and developer diaries for the multiplayer than the single player. Even here on N4G, people that were talking about Homefront were talking about multiplayer.
Reagrdless, I think your score is a bit low. Story was mediocre and there were some bugs, but it was a fun, varied experience with tons of great atmosphere and back story (assuming you read the intel pieces).
Last, how do you come up with 5.8? What makes it a 5.8 over a 5.9 or 5.7. Just about any site worth its weight has done away with the obscure decimal scores and I think this site should follow suit. Just give it a 6 and be done with it, because 5.8 immediately makes me raise a 'WTF' eyebrow before even reading anything you wrote.
