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.
That’s what AI told me, but I trust it more coming from a real player. Thanks for the tip on the order as storyline is important to me. I speak fluent German, so I might find some of the obscure jokes and references others miss. Looking forward to playing it through.
Some of the german Nazi NPC chatter you can overhear is way better than it needs to be. Its really fun if you can understand german.
