Homefront The Revolution: Voice of Freedom DLC (Xbox One)

Well, it seems just any game can get DLC's now. Honestly though, the Homefront DLC's aren't too bad, probably better than the main game. Instead of Brady, we play as the renowned Walker. The guy the revolution apparently could do fuck all without. He was talked about so much in the main game, but we saw so little. So, was this guy really that great?

There's a couple of new characters with Walker, I don't remember any of their names, but they were ok, seemed they could've been likeable with more screen time. For some reason, the hi voice actor of Walker puts next to no emotion in his voice acting, he was like a robot. He played him much better in the original game.

Walker attempts to sneak into Philadelphia with a small group, so he can link up with the revolution and attack the KPA. The game starts off with you stealthy manouvering around the KPA and heading into the metro tunnels. One problem was that it was dark throughout and you were never once given a flashlight. You meet a new group of enemies who occupy the tunnels, they aren't friends of the revolution or the KPA.

The DLC campaign is really short, it's only three missions long, but they're good missions. I found myself wanting more once I was done, I didn't get that feeling once in the original game. The end leads straight into the beginning of the main game where Brady was being interrogated. I absolutely loved that and even cooler was you got to see Brady's face after playing as a face and voiceless character, it was great to put a face to the name.

I enjoyed this DLC surprisingly, after the dismal campaign of the original, it was a good idea to show more about Walker, the face and leader of the revolution. It's worth playing and it's a fair price.

2.8/5
