    Saints Row has always been one of my favourite video game series, but this game brings it to a new top. I am most likely talking about the new possibility to use super powers, which is also a point many fans of the previous games could not like.

Even if it has this new game play, it does not lose the aspects of the gangster-, GTA parodying style. This wonderful game, with more game play I have ever had in a saints row game, revives the setting of the series, even if it has it problems and glitches here and there, but all in all I do like it. I do recommend this game to everybody, who likes an open world scenario like GTA and the aspects of games like Prototype 2.… Expand

    I for one, unlike some people, love this game. People constantly complain about it being over the top, and I agree. That's why I love it. It even has a story, a wacky one, but I loved it. This is definitely one of my top 10 favourite games. Saints Row, you have found your home. I hope you make a fifth game.

    Saint's Row used to be a Gang War type of a Sandbox game. but who would ever thought of it being aliens now. In this Installment of the Saint's Row franchise. The Protagonist was elected President of the United States and during his term in-office the earth get's invaded by a alien race called the Zin. Who puts humans in a simulation of their world. The Protagonist returns to a simulation of Steelport where he needs to save earth from Zinyak the leader of the Zin.

    Overall, this game is good. it has it's flaws. but its a must-have if you want some slapstick humor while murdering aliens.    … Expand

    Saints Row IV is not a good game. In this case all Deep Silver have done is change the SR3 Super powers DLC and put that into the game. They have also not changed the world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the most part, while I am sad the best part of the customization will never return, the game was surprisingly fun to play through. I only ever witnessed two crashes, no severe game killing bugs or glitches and I loved the new features like weapon skins with their own sounds and even ways they fire, the super powers are nice to but I just wish they gave us them much later in the game to be of better use and not feel god-like so early. I did not like the 'general' creatures, the wardens as they are called, they felt lack luster and rather dull, once you get used to fighting them they are easy to take down, I would have personally liked more variety in enemies. Oh and I must mention how i liked the reappearances of some of the classic characters from the other games like Julius, retro Shaundi, James King and my personal favourite, Johnny Gat. I have rarely had so much fun in co-op as well, SR4's co-op is fun and I got a lot of laughs I can tell you, but overall I love this game, even if it has a tad few annoying things here and there, like how the hell do I get access to my jets if I cannot use an airport anymore.… Expand

    Completely unplayable. There is a huge sound problem whereas if you run 5.1, you get constant music, no engine sounds, and everything else is either muffled or really loud. It's been like this for 5 months with no fix in sight. Save your money.

    The graphic is fine,worse than gta 5/bf4, or some others game,but still acceptable....u guys see the objects in simulation turn into white squares in certain period because the game designer trying to make it like a"virtual world".
    It is good for game designer trying something new as the "GTA style "game is getting old fashion.
    The game introduce super-power into the game but disallow it in certain mission for balance.
    Friendly AI will find vehicles for themselves if u don't have a seat for them as SR 3 does....
    However,the game isn't good enough.
    Someone say the game should be a DLC. However, as a DLC, the content is so long, for a full game, it's too short.It should be a expansion pack rather than DLC/game.
    The game didn't make a good balance in story lines. The"alien War" is not serious enough,(just old school American hero story style @Q@) the game designer should put more effort on making it more reasonable and longer.
    The "what if"& "review life"on ex-gangs member can be deeper.
    Even the superpower restricted in missions, the superpower still ruined the game play. With sprint and jump,u don't need car anymore.In the later game....... Superpower and super weapons cause friendly fire easily. Each kill drop health box in simulation making the fight so easy.....
    Another problem is the concept of weapon upgrade .There's tons of single weapon ability for u to upgrade but limit ways to earn cache,even some upgrade item can be ignored if u have the ammo chip upgrade ,with hours for farming cache, It is barely possible to get all the weapons upgrade before the game is end.
    Maybe I am bad in luck...most mission give me least favor weapons when I focus in others.
    The final thing I want to say is:please let me replay missions after finish the game, like Sleeping dogs    … Expand

However, the game isn't without it's flaws, most noticeably the fact that this game is based on an engine that was never really designed for a super-power based game, it's not that big of an issue as the super powers them self work like a dream but the destruction to the environment doesn't really exist at all. You could jump of the highest build in the game and not even make a dint in the flour. All in all though, it's a good pc port but don't expect amazing graphics and for those who are looking for a game that doesn't take itself seriously at all, you defiantly want to pick up this game.… Expand

    I had so much fun I had to complete all the secondary missions. The humor is not for everybody but the game is so full of humor a love to movies and videogames that i could not stop playing it.
    The game structure is mass effect 2 meets the Matrix, but it has streets of rage, metal gear solid, back to the future, metroid, armaggedon.

    Saints Row IV is even sillier than the 3rd. It is essentially a big parody of all sci-fi big-name media. The story is a bit mad, but it allows for the very unique and fun missions. Downsides are that the introduction of superpowers takes away from other areas of the game and the story ending can be a bit disappointing.

    You just can't go wrong with Saint's Row. GTA just doesn't satisfy like Saint's Row does. I never got through GTA IV because it wasn't that fun. Picking up my fat cousin and going out for dinner is not my idea of a good time. Why not pick him up, slap him across the face with a giant purple **** and then slam his face into the ground with some superpowers...?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Should it have been just a DLC for SR3? Maybe, but despite that was ST4's first intention I was able to play through the whole game feeling like it was something completely separate from it's predecessor. The game is ridiculous in a very smart way and makes fun of stuff delightfully (unlike other games *Borderlands 2*), for example, " 'merica " is a weapon that aims to ridicule and symbolize a country so "powerful" it is actually know for the name of it's continent. Though the game ridicules all this stuff you never feel like they mean to harm anyone in particular. At times I even felt ridiculed by the game, yet I found myself ending up finding that fun. There's a huge variety of weapons that are actually different from each other, like the motherfreaking dubstep weapon that fires explosive wubs, makes everyone around you drop it and makes cars bounce to the beat. Technically speaking the were some framerate issues, crashes and bugs (but essentially framerate). I mean, I can run BF4 constant +30 fps on ultra but SR4 drops to 22 at times? I did have to repeat 1 or 2 missions due to crashes and gameplay wise the super running and jumping felt great to travel around but, sometimes, felt a bit awkward within small steps. Overall great humor and gameplay.… Expand

    Superb music, with multiple radio stations like a GTA game has. With radio commenters saying things that add to the story. You even have a station where the alien leader reads you "Pride and Prejudice"! Now that's original.

    It's silly, but it's FUN silly! The music is fun, the fighting is fun, even running and jumping around the city exploring is fun! The co-op mode is solid and makes it even more hilarious as you can play with a equally super-powered friend. And the dialogue is just great to listen to.

    I really enjoyed this game. it's a high-powered parody of Grand-Theft Auto type games. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and yet has solid and enjoyable gameplay at its core. Also has quite a cool "be yourself, don't conform" vibe to it. Highly recommended!    … Expand

Saints Row IV finds you kidnapped by aliens and trapped inside of a simulation needing to free your crew and take on the aliens. While inside the simulation you get access to superpowers and basically become Neo. The humour is fantastic and the game does a great job of referencing various movies such as The Matrix and They Live. There are also various scenes that just have a damn near perfect soundtrack choice to take the fun up a notch. For instance I had never had a dogfight in an alien craft before set to “What Is Love” but I have now and it was highly enjoyable. They also do a great job of referencing the various characters and stories of the previous Saints Row games. There is a crazy amount of customization you can do to your character’s body and clothes and to weapons and to vehicles. There are lots of activities you can do as optional side quests but I found I didn’t enjoy many of them. They weren’t bad, I enjoyed ones where you inject viruses or assassinate rogue programs but didn’t enjoy some of the ones that were a timed mission. They also highlighted the lack of side quests for crew members. All of the missions for crew members, aside from a loyalty mission, was just them getting you to do sets of three of the various activities. The game also did a good job poking fun at Mass Effect’s romance options and the suicide mission sequence from Mass Effect 2. The one thing the game lacked was custom music. In GTA IV I could point the game to my music folder and have a custom music station to listen to and Saints Row IV didn’t have that. It did allow me to create a custom mix tape from all of the stations but I still would have preferred my own music. The game had decent graphical detail across the board. At no point was I blown away but at no point was I disappointed. Even for a game from 2013 I can list games that are the same age or older that have better detail but can also list many that have worse. The voice acting was very well done for all involved. I actually ended up preferring the human weapons as I found the alien weapons to feel weak, maybe it was more of an issue of their sound then how much damage they do. They also could overheat where the human weapons couldn’t.

    I played Saints Row IV on Linux. It was a decent port but not without issues. There were minor glitches I observed. My characters coat went through the floor of the car; a few times there would be no lip movement when a character spoke; and the AI movement was bad at times with them getting stuck around cars and obstacles. During play I had one time where the game froze and one time where the game crashed. The performance of the game was very spotty. I have put off playing Saints Row IV over the years as I like to play games maxed out and throughout the years as I upgraded from a R9 270; to a R9 380; to an RX480; to an RX 580 and finally to my 5700 XT I have always had frame rate issues. During that time I have also upgraded my CPU from a FX-8350 to an FX-9590 and finally to my Ryzen 5 2600X. The game spends a lot of the time above 60 FPS but can drop for no reason randomly to as low as 13 FPS and go as high as 130 FPS. There are seven different AA settings; five different AF settings; three different AO settings; and five other graphics options. You can change the difficulty level at any time. You can also save at any time but if you’re on a multi part mission it won’t save the progress and you’ll start from the beginning of that mission. There are 22 save slots you can use. The game also auto saves after missions and other events. Alt-Tab works.

    VRAM Usage: 1315-1808 MB
    CPU Usage: 12-28 %
    RAM Usage: 2.8-3.6 GB
    Frame Rate: 13-130 FPS
    Graphics Settings Used: 8x MSAA; 16x AF; all settings at high; 1920*1080
    Disk Space Used: 10.11 GB

    Overall I had a lot of fun with Saints Row IV which is no surprise as I also had a lot of fun with Saints Row the Third. No other open world series is as goofy or over the top and it never fails to put a smile on my face. If you enjoyed any other Saints Row games I encourage you to try this one. It has some issues but they didn’t impede me from having a good time. I finished the game in 26 hours and 24 minutes on normal difficulty. This was enough time to beat the main story; do all crew quests and loyalty missions; and complete 87% of the game overall. I got the game for free with a graphics card upgrade years ago but it is easily worth the $16.99 CAD it currently retails for and I would pay as much as $30 for it.

Saints Row IV is a bit too wacky with the whole sci fi space invasion story, but the zaniness still makes me laugh. Watching my character blow up the town in some hologram of what looks like an episode of Leave it to Beaver is just the first of many hilarious moments. The action is as smooth and adrenaline-fueled as ever, amplified by your new superpowers. The problem is that these powers make the game too easy and also causes you to bypass certain gameplay elements that made Saints Row III such a blast. For example, I didn't bother to collect and upgrade cars in SR IV because of my super speed and ability to fly long distances, so why bother? Still a great time to be had, though, with plenty of jokes and sight gags, hysterical interactions between your character and the SR crew (Shaundi, Kinzie - who's a riot, Johnny Gat, etc.), a fun if ridiculous story, and of course, getting to blast tons of enemies and blow things apart in every way imaginable. And if you think the main plot is absurd, play the DLC How The Saints Saved Christmas, it doesn't get any loonier than that!… Expand

    Saints row IV is a big change from the other games in the series most in part because of super powers(they are really cool). They make the game feel unique, but also make it too easy at times.

Utterly stupid, and just horrible but Volition tried to make up their mistake with over 20 DLC's which helped but did not fully recover.

    You never need to use a car again. The developers even seemed to know that. They made the radio available while not being in any vehicle and the city is the same as in SR3. You need maybe 5 minutes to cross the whole map by just running and jumping/gliding.

All I knew before lunching it was that it's not your average GTA-like game. But in the end I must admit I enjoyed it quite a bit. In short this game feels like GTA on mods with a pretty stupid, absurd story line and weird game play.

    In the game you control the president of united states. But this guy was previously a gang member with his homies being the staff members. Planet earth gets attacked and destroyed by aliens, people get kidnapped and put into a matrix like pods aboard the alien spaceship and you get put into a computer simulation where you try to defeat the bad alien boss. This gives the ground to you having all of the absurd powers.

    Gameplay actually like GTA on mods. You can jump high, stomp, fly around, throw cars and other heavy objects, run like flash and shoot fire bullets.

    The game is not very unified and feels like a collection of mini games where you get to use your powers one way or another. There are events where you have to scale towers, other places you will race with your super speed. In other instanced you'll do some hacking, throw cars through virtual hoops and so on. On their own the modes are pretty fun to play and there is really a lot of them. If you're not looking for anything serious and just want to enjoy yourself with no thought involved - this might be the right fit. The main story missions make a bit more sense but not that much - just feel like a different mode from the rest.

    The progression and upgrade system does not feel very rewarding - though you are able to update your powers to make them more effective. Guns are strange and most of them are pretty useless. You can drive around in cars but since you're faster on foot it doesn't make any sense to do so aside from the special missions.

    The game graphics are pretty decent although constant night time feels boring after a while.

    In the end it was fun playing. A rather light game but fun nonetheless - surprisingly so to be honest.    … Expand

    -Si, es cierto, es lo mismo que el SR3, el mismo mapa, el mismo motor gráfico, si es que tiene mejoras son mínimas.

    -Todo está reciclado, TODO, lo que si es bueno es que agregaron muchos más peinados eso estuvo bien, la ropa me decepcionó, es la misma que en sr3 si es que no es menos, lo que si hay son más trajes predeterminados disponibles y muy alocados y vistosos.

    - Los poderes están muy bien es como woaa, no podria volver a jugar sr3 ya me acostumbré a esto, pero descuida, te llenan de misiones que tienes bloqueados los poderes asi que no te acostumbres mucho a ellos. AL rato se vuelve super monotono usarlos.

    - Las armas, fue muy buena idea poder personalizar las armas, eso está genial, además que hay muchisima más variedad.

    -Los poderes y el combate, en serio, woa, llenaron de armas el juego, crearon muchos poderes, como el ataque de fuego, de hielo, la telekinesis, el pisoton , el mejoramiento de armas con efectos, cuatro grupos de habilidades, cada uno como con 4 subtipos, muchas armas y para queee?. si solo puedes correr con tus super poderes y apretar E y eliminarlos a todos.

    - Las actividades son divertidas como siempre, lo bueno que superarlas viene de la mano con misiones secundarias que te dan recompensas y se matan dos pájaros de un tiro.

    - Diálogos divertidos, misiones alocadas, muchas muy parecidas a lo ya visto en sr3, historia estúpida jaja.

    - Los enemigos son muy poco variados.

    - Los vehiculos se vuelven inútiles, innecesarios ya que correr es muchisimo más veloz para desplazarte.

    - Este sr peca un poco de vivir del pasado, demasiaaadas referencias de cosas que pasaron en los anteriores títulos, un poco pudo ser, pero le metieron mucho del pasado en vez de tratar de apuntar hacia adelante.

    En general el juego me gustó mucho, lo disfruté bastante, a primera respuesta incluso hubiera dicho que es mejor que el 3. Pero reflexionandolo mejor, me quedo con el sr3, lo encontré más variado, más rejugable, y además el hecho de estar metido en una simulación, no se, siento que perdió mucha vida el juego con eso. La ciudad se siente muerta.

    TL;DR? -> SR4 very fun game, but SR3>SR4

    Despite being fun and having the same charm as its predecessor, Saints Row IV is simply a fun but forgettable experience that relies too heavily on Saints Row The Third's assets and feels more like a mod/decent expansion than a brand new game.

Going from the already over the top tone of The Third to an alien invasion is certaintly quite a jump in tone, and while it is even more ridiculous compared to SR3, and disappointing that it didnt tone it down and go back to the more grounded tone of Saints Row 1 and 2, i'd be lying if i said that it wasnt still a decent experience. In my opinion the game is even somewhat of an improvement over SR3 in some areas, but it was kind of exhausting to go back to the same generic Steelport again, albeit with a few alien additions to make it more fun to explore in the simulation.

    At it's core SR4 is the same game as it's predecessor, just with superpowers. They are fun to use and instantly become your preferred way to traverse the simulation, making travel by vehicles virtually irrelevant. However the powers that help you in combat i found less attractive to use, since they can become so OP that they rob the challenge, especially later in the game. One thing that i didnt expect to like was collecting all the clusters that serve as currency to improve your powers, i mean they should be tedious and tiresome to collect, but somehow they're not. There are a lot of new and different weapons with all the DLC included, but majority of them are just skins for the weapon archetypes.

    The story and missions, just like in SR3, are again the overall saving grace of the game. Zinyak is a fun and charming villain, and all the stuff you need to go through to get to him is quite fun. In the midst of it the game's story relies quite a bit on nostalgic trip down the original 2 games, but that was ok by me, since it was fun seeing and interacting with the legacy characters in some capacity. Unfortunately the main story isnt that long and the game takes a very liberal use of side activities in an attempt to lengthen it.    … Expand

    It has some drawbacks. Game is too easy to complete and the addition of super powers, while fun, does not help at all. Even on the hardest difficulty I was able to breeze through the game with no problem. It's also occasionally buggy so be on the lookout for that.

    Besides that, I do recommend this game. And although I still prefer SR 2 as my favorite, SR IV is right behind it for being the best game in the series. Definitely worth playing it when you get the chance.    … Expand

    I highly recommend this game!    … Expand

    Fühlt sich an wie GTA auf Crack und genau so sollte Saints Row sein: Vollkommen over the top

    If you looking for realistic open world games, go for GTA Series
    If you looking for Superpower open world games this game may suite you
    yes, this game is different from previous titles, and I like it

    Overall 10/10 Mestaapiece

    aunque es un refrito de "Saints row: the third" sigue valiendo la pena si lo único que buscas es diversión sin sentido, en ese aspecto es bastante bueno.

    si lo pudiera comparar con una película seria un sharknado con restricción de edad M y con memes dank.

    +10 because every game could be a 10

    -1 You sound is bugging out? If you have an Nvdia card, you can adjust the individual setting for every game. What you have to do here is lower the FPS to 30 and put Vsynch to "Fast". And the fact that I looked that up for an 8 year old game and played it for 40 hours straight for the fourth time makes it kind of one of my top five games of the    +10 because every game could be a 10

    A decent time waster with solid character customisation. Ultimately couldn't hold attention for long due to middling combat and overall open world experience.

    Saints Row IV doesn't take itself too seriously. When alien computer simulations, super powers and pixelator guns populate every minute of this game, all you can do is enjoy the absurd joy ride while it lasts.

    Saints Row IV - такая же классная игра как и саинтс ров 3 с кучей разных новых возможностей и механик, но слишком много нужно проходить мини-игр и побочек которые были необязательны в 3 части

    It got ridiculous storyline and I love it. Presentation is funny and there are some cool references.

    Superpowers are really fun. You wreck everyone and everything. On top of that there are also some nice and interesting weapons to use. Atmosphere is really weak. Npc's are copy pasted and like robots and overall city feels dead. It also uses the same map from 3 with not enough change.    It got ridiculous storyline and I love it.

    I remember when I bought it in a store on disk, in 2013, this game did not interest me very much. But, now, I remembered about it, and try to go through it again... It's incredible! I've been through a lot of games in my entire gaming life, and no matter how it sounds, I don't regret that I didn't pass it then, because I can enjoy it right now!

    Треш и угар окончательно выместили из серии все остальное, но, это не мешает ей качественно развлекать потребителя. Хороший юмор, сумасшедший геймплей, приятная внешность. Все что нужно тут имеется.

    beautiful game, I will never forget it, created heroes, a lot of crashes, humor, references to pop culture, great opportunities to edit characters and being super, probably a few more times I will pass this game, one of my favorites for sure, only sent recently that it is a budget project and was supposed to be dlc to three

    The graphics are practically the same as in 3. However, the idea of ​​the game is completely different, leaving the GTA style for something with super powers. I particularly liked this game too.

    История ещё более безумная, геймплей ещё безбашеннее.
    Игрушка конечно не идеальная, так как THQ в своё время обанкротились и некоторые наработки пришлось вырезать, но не смотря на на всё это, выше перечисленные плюсы, в виде ураганного и веселого геймплея, увлекают с головой. Теперь можно и супером побыть, как в сериале the Boys или как я Флэшем.

    i **** hate deep silver, stop touching saints row and making it a fictional buggy alien mess.
    This game is trying way too hard to be funny, yet it's so scripted and makes me cringe at times. The only thing I like about this game is the cheats and takedowns.

    I don't know what to say about this game. But Saints Row IV is one of the most craziest, over-the-top, high-defying, grand smashing, and amazing video games I ever played.

But Saints Row IV is one of the most craziest, over-the-top, high-defying, grand smashing, and amazing video games I ever played. This is one of my current favorite games on Steam and my most current favorite Saints Row game. I have seen a plumber who can jump high or a hedgehog who goes super fast but I have never seen a street gang leader becoming president of the United States of America.

    This game is like Grand Theft Auto added with Prototype, Metal Gear, Streets of Rage, Star Wars, and Star Fox with a sprinkle of Superhero Science Fiction.

    The story may be a little insane but this game has returning characters from the old games of Saints Row 1-3 and turning the usual street gang game into a president fighting aliens to avenge earth.

    The activities are creative and mostly use superpowers. One of my favorite activities is Fight Club also known as the Super Power Fight Club because you can take on multiple waves of enemies with superpowers and take out bosses that are returning characters

    Some costumes in the game maybe have no effects but it's the perfect way to get dressed to kill there are some costumes missing in the inauguration station like the president's suit. But my 2nd favorite is the Nyte Blade outfit because it feels more hack-and-slash-like but a little beat em up

    The combat of using melee attacks is fun and usable when I am strong enough. Powers that makes things unbelievably eye-catching, Weapons and weapon are amazing looking while others are just strangely made.

    And the best part is that all DLC together with the game is super cheap. It's like buying the tastiest cheapest pizza pie with all toppings.

    In conclusion, I 100% recommend playing this game.    … Expand

    The fourth part in the Saints Row saga is an outrageous, silly and incredibly entertaining adventure. The days of Grand Theft Auto is since long gone and the game reminds you rather of the super hero games Crackdown and Infamous. An unexpected but welcome change.
