    Really wanted to like this game, or even finish it. In the end, it was an unfinished game that had some great looking skins. Bad performance on a 1080. Boring, repetitive and wave type missions. Game play was very glitchy throughout my hours of playing and never improved no matter the setting downgrades. Shiny outer layer with no real content once you get to the core. Disappointing.

    The characters lacks character and the combat is mediocre. The gun you shot has no punch and enemies feel like ragdolls of 90s. The bullet hits them but it always lacks the thump, the impact, the audio-visual-physical confirmation. Its more like what I felt shooting in GTA-3 15 years ago, rather than what i feel playing any game in 2017.

    Weapons can't be changed. Read it again, a saints row like game where you can't change weapon.
    The fun part of saints row for me was to try a dozen type of weapons and do insane stuff in the city but they have brought down the level of freedom in the game. There are side missions and upgrades, sure. But to me the whole game felt hollow.    … Expand

    I was excited for this game before it came out, as a Saints Row fan. When I read the bad reviews, I decided to hold out. When I saw it for 9,99 online, I decided to buy it. Surely, for that price it must be good?

    No. It wasn't worth it. Not only is PC performance very bad, the game world feels bland.

    No. It wasn't worth it. Not only is PC performance very bad, the game world feels bland. The art-style is actually very nice, so are the character designs, and the Anime-like cutscenes are phenomenal. However, the humor is just shoved in your face too much. Almost every sentence in this game suffers because of this. It's hard to take this game seriously. Gameplay's solid though, and the customization of abilities for your characters is very neat.

    Do not think that because you like Saints Row, you might enjoy this game. This game is separate from the Saints Row franchise in almost every way.    … Expand

    Very generic and mediocre game. I still like SR3~4 more.
    Also turn your characters into queers still won't make them more funnier or "progressive", don't you know that, Volition? On the contrary, it's kinda annoying due to today's social/political atmosphere.

    - Characters devoid of any charisma
    - The Dead Surrounding World
    - not have coop and multiplayer
    - stupid AI
    + Good optimization
    Where people who developed SR? What happened to them?=

    The PC port's performance is abysmal on a whole new level - when your game barely goes over 60 FPS on a top-tier build, you **** up. Not to mention Denuvo.

    Well I wasn’t sure if the reviews were telling the truth with how bad this game really is. I went ahead and purchased it, eager to try it out. When the game finally finished downloading, I clicked play and this popped up.

    Reset my computer, Uninstalled the game. Currently installing it again, but that has never happened before when I have downloaded a game here on steam.. Interesting stuff going on here…..

    UPDATE: Game is installed, but says content is locked. This by far has to be the worst game ever on steam to where it gave my pc a virus with mcafee security. Not cool one bit….    … Expand

    Volition played it much too safe with this Saints Row spin-off, making a game that trails behind Saints Row IV in every aspect. [11/2017, p.42]

    Everything about Agents of Mayhem screams underdeveloped and underfinanced. Nevertheless, blunt humor and straightforward action work well enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure, just like that junk food you like: you know it’s unrefined and unhealthy, but you just can’t help it. [Issue#223, p.64]

    Great overall story with rich character customization, well known Saints Row humor and beautiful and nostalgic animations from 80s morning cartoons. It’s hard to look at the positives, among all of the technical problems, and very dull and unvaried open-world and repetitive combat mechanics. Agents of Mayhem comes without any kind of online multiplayer mode, and that’s what makes this game undeserving of its 60$ price tag.
