Homefront: The Revolution vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Homefront: The Revolution
Homefront: The Revolution is the latest installment in the Homefront game series and this time around, the game features an open-world set in the war-torn suburbs of Philadelphia. In this game, you'll be expected to lead your own Resistance cell in an occupied and oppressed USA, and hopefully, through your team's guerilla actions, bring hope to the people and possibly give rise to a revolution. Despite the odds, you'll need to build bases and safe-houses for your Resistance fighters, recruit more revolutionaries to your cause, craft a variety of guerilla tools as well as capture an arsenal of better weapons from the enemy. Although there isn't a multiplayer mode in this game, you can play cooperatively with your friends to assemble a resistance that will earn the respect and adoration of other revolutionaries.Homefront: The Revolution may start out looking like a cut scene-laden game, but once you've gotten through the first 2 hours, you'll find that the game isn't at all that bad. It may not be comparable some of the most epic open world shooters out there, but it's still a pretty decent game, especially if you like the idea of building up a resistance cell rather than being the one stomping out the resistance.
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person, action shooter that offers an explosive, bullet-hell-like gameplay on top of an already pretty frantic, arcade-styled shooting action. Kiting the enemies around is a skill you'll need in this game since it doesn't have the sophisticated systems that modern tactical shooters have, like cover or duck and roll. There are plenty of weapons, including a nice selection of melee weapons, for you to carry out your massacre with and you can easily switch between them whenever you like! Not to mention, the game has several new enemy types, including the massive Khnum as well as the massive AND hideous Scrapjack, in addition to the usual ones.Serious Sam 3 also has several game modes, including co-op multiplayer, versus multiplayer along with survival single and multiplayer. If you have your friends around your place, you can even play the game in split-screen mode and yell your heads off together when a monster caught both of you off guard. Best yet, creative players and modders are even given a level editor to play with. New mods or levels created can also be shared to the game community via Steam Workshop.
When it comes to crazy, almost non-stop action, Serious Sam is among the best game franchises to play. Serious Sam 3: BFE is their latest game and thus, it does look a lot better than any of their previous games, but you can still expect the same old (equally exciting) gameplay you've come to love.
