Hi Friends,
I’ve been replaying Homefront lately. Its a great game, but has a very short storyline.

What I like most:
- intense firefights, giant explosions
- good storyline
- genuinely horrifying atmosphere with mass graves, rubble everywhere, a horrifying police state with North Koreans occupying the US. It’s not hard to feel like a resistance fighter protecting your homeland
- linear gameplay with a balance of brute force and tactics, skewed towards making things go boom
- not set too far in the future, no giant humanoid mech robots
- abundant ammo
- runs on Linux with no stupid sign-ins or subscriptions beyond Steam
I’ve done some poking around online and it sounds like Ghost Recon: Wildlands hits a few of those points and might suit me.
I can search for alternatives myself, but I’m really looking for some recommendations from real people
Hardware requirements shouldn’t be an issue, and I don’t object to slightly older games either, especially if they’re just old enough that I can scoop up the game and DLC in one bundle.
Other games I liked:
- Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl
- Blood and Bacon
- Crysis
I appreciate any recommendations you give me.


Terminator Resistance strikes me as very similar to Homefront, played it a while after finishing the Homefront series and there were lots of similarities.
