Hi Friends,

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/55100/Homefront/

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.

      I forgot about Farcry! I loved the original and replayed it many times, but Farcry 2 wasn’t my jam. Maybe 3 could make me love the franchise again.
