    1. The plot is extremely boring
    2. Graphics - still in 2011 but with improved lighting
    3. Gameplay - ABSOLUTELY nothing has changed for the fourth game in a row
    Bad in every way.

    I made the mistake of pre-ordering the deluxe version of this game, based on the Saints Row name. To give you an idea of how awful it is - I saw that new DLC had been released so I started reinstalling the game. Halfway through the install, I decided that I couldn't be bothered wasting another minute playing such a bland, unenjoyable mess, so I just deleted it.

    As a huge fan of SR2, III and IV, I have to admire this game is so terrible that I dropped it after 2 hours (wanted to do it earlier but franchise had a very nice credit of trust). Some of the previous parts were so ahead of time and addictive af, this one feels like a fanmade stuff from 2004 or smth (in a terrible way).

    Game play is mediocre. Even after a full year after release buggy. Sky is different shades of Purple and blues?? and cars sounds non existent. Too bad because the first Saints Row ever was great. Time to let this series die out.

    It's telling that the cowardly sack of excrement releasing sales figures won't give an answer about how many copies this game has sold. More importantly, it's been admitted to be a flop and I'd honestly be surprised if it broke even. The other games were good and funny. Having to listen to some dip****s complain about student loans, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SIGNED FOR, makes the admission that they are complete and total morons unsurprising. I'm guessing that's the crowd they were shooting for with this. Maybe take a look at WHY the original was so popular and try to go that route, rather than a bunch of whiny 20 year olds.    … Expand

    Game made by complete no-talents for completely radical Tumblr reps. There's nothing good about this game.
    The story is abusive to the legacy of the series, the characters are repugnant, the gameplay is the worst ever, and nothing is fun at all.

    This is an actual **** sandwhich. The buggy mess of unplayable and unfun missions are the kicker on this... idk what this is.. I would say this has like 1 or 2 people working on it at most. The original Volition crew couldn't have made this.. No way. This is like an 8 year old wrote everything, but even 8 year olds have more imagination.

    The game lacks a lot of the sharpness and charm of the originals and replaces it with awful game breaking glitches, not the fun kind that can be found in the previous games but the kind that make you sigh and realise the whole thing is a scam. The characters are truly vomit inducing as well.

    With time and most bugs fixed, it could be a half decent game (5 out of 10 if bought at 60% off) if they had given it another name. The game doesn't look like the original and looks terrible when compared.

    On the technical side of things, the game was riddled with bugs (both small to game breaking), there were frequent texture pop ins, graphics looked like something straight out of the PS3 era. Most of the open world was barren and empty, driving similarly was also pretty bad and other gameplay mechanics like melee and shooting were severely unpolished.

    The soundtrack was decent to good for the most part. The character creation suite was the most enjoyable part of the whole game for me, which in itself says a lot about this game.

    All in all Saints Row is most definitely in contention for the worst AAA game of 2022. It also does not help when the community manager for the game cannot take any valid criticism from the fans and proceeds to label anyone who disagrees with her about the characters, 'sexists' and also calls the longtime fans of the franchise 'terrorists' and wants them to not support the franchise anymore.    … Expand

    There are about 10 missions in the whole game... You go straight for the other "gangs" and end them after creating the saints... yeah... pathetic excuse for a game and anyone who thought this would be an amazing game while working on it should get out of game development, 80 dollar price tag for a mobile game at most, might as well just throw in ads after every few steps

    Only positive about this game is that the devs have made Saint's Row 4 look better than ever with this dumpster fire.

    Literally just a poor man's GTA clone minus all the good stuff, would've been average perhaps as a stand-alone game if it come out ten years ago, but now it is insulting to be called a "Saint's Row" game and insulting for a AAA company to release this in 2022.

The story doesn't make much sense in the beginning, but some dialogues are ok, it is SR, nobody is expecting a masterpiece on this part yk, what everybody likes of SR is the action, but what you liked on SR3, the crazy action, the op guns when they are fully leveled, they took out or dumbed down in this one... Why... Why let devs who looks like they didn't like SR or never even played a game before to make a SR game... Then aside from all this we have the weapon challenge tracking that every sane person would expect to be easily tracked in some menu but in this game you actually have to travel to a gunshop just to see the progress of the weapon leveling, it is like those old super nintendo games that at that time the devs hadn't thought on such obvious feature yet but, hey, it was the beginning of game developing, but to do that on a 2022 game, it just looks like the devs of this game never played a game to not know that! How Deep Silver chose this team? Everything looks very amateur, char creation is worst than SR3, if you turn on Nvdia's RT the game looks very glitchy, if you turn it off the game looks just like SR3 but it is much, MUCH heavier, how can they made a game this heavy looks like the super optimized SR3 is a mystery...

    Volition missed the mark in every aspect possible with this game, insulted their stablished fanbase to appease to a potential new fanbase that didn't even like the game either, this could be a lethal hit for the studio since their reputation is extremely tarnished with their prior fanbase and everyone would think twice to support them in the future even if they correct their path an apologize for insulting their fans.    … Expand

    the graphics are so old gen they sacrifice everything to be able to release it on old gen consoles instead of making two different versions of the game for old and new gen consoles and PC, the pop in and out is the worst thing about this game cars comes out of thin air or disappear in thin air even with my graphic setting set to ultra.
    the story isn't enjoyable and it's boring as hell between the bad dialogue to the awful voice acting to the sound bugs.
    the side hassles kind of ok nothing mind blowing it's just mindless fun sometimes.
    the combat is so bad which don't work correctly most of the time, the guns feel cheap as hell and the NPC are bullet sponges even without the armor.
    the city has nothing to memorize it by and not much going on you might see a cop has and NPC car stopped and that's all so nothing to get your attention.
    driving feels like you're driving a balloon the cars fly like no gravity the only enjoyable thing is side slam cars with the new system they implemented.
    for the performance the game runs so good because it's not the graphics are last gen i had no crashed no frame drop nothing at all.
    for the last part bugs and more bugs and a lot more bugs everything is buggy i had a bug where the main character was driving a bike while standing another were i was stuck under the map and wasn't reloading didn't fix it another one where NPC disappear from the Custance and another with the phone app with a blank background and can't do anything not even the ability to close it and another where enemies spawn outside mission boundaries and so many more that i need a 5 page assignment to write them down.
    i gave the game a 4 out of 10 because of the performance and the side hassles plus the combat when it works.
    just wait for a big sale then get the game otherwise it's not worth the price tag they are asking for.
    BTW i haven't finished all of the main story because i couldn't get myself to do it.    … Expand

    -2 a wide variety of gameplay bugs, starting with everything related to physics. The gravity in this game is on the level of Goat simulator, and while everything from trees to fences will crumble to pieces and cars explode like fireworks from any given vehicle crashing into it, there is always that one little rock that is barely visible and will still stop you in your tracks. Aiming, just like most of the controls, is bothersome, which in a game that pretty much has shooting as the central game mechanic is unforgivable. Stairs can become true obstacles, just like your

    -2 AI companions that tend to pile up right behind you and won't budge or move. The NPCs are true Zoomers, starting with the AI that has also been born in the late last century. Given the amount of babysitting that you have to do because they storm into danger and get themselves killed, watching them do so would be satisfying, but also ends the mission. It's the same with them riding cars or phasing out and not moving anymore. They have a lot to say, but unfortunately only three lines to chose from, and they say it with

    -1 the worst audio I've heard in a while. While the voiceovers aren't terrible, it always sounds like someone is speaking into a mic and directly next to you. Volition always had trouble with vehicle sound for some reason, but even the guns pop peas and popcorn. Which is fitting in my favorite section, which would be

    +2 the LARPing. I wouldn't be caught larping in real life if you paid me, but all the weaknesses of the game suddenly make sense; for example the finishers that never connect to whoever you are handling - in LARP they are not supposed to. And of course the guns sound like someone shooting you with thumbtacks. And of course the vehicles can't take any damage, because you can't drive cars into other cars in real life, DUH. The cringe humor and way too nice disposition of everyone suddenly makes sense; these people wouldn't commit genocide on a daily basis, but they would certainly *pretend* to do it while roleplaying. A part of me really wonders if Volition wasn't onto something when they created that part of the game, and it scratched an itch I've had since Rockstar's "Bully" - all the sandbox madness of a GTA game, but ... nobody dies. I like that. Of course you will have a 4-digit-deathcount a few hours in, except for...

    -1 the forced stealth section, are you f*ing kidding me. It's like you made a list of things that people really hate and then decided on a dare to bring it all back. That's where I quit, by the way.

    -1 the open world is every bit as dead as you have heard, and looks more like a first draft overall.

    +1 unlike everyone else I did at least enjoy the "tourist" action where I have a good look at landmarks while a narrator explains the history of a place to me, because it's one of the few instances where the city gets some character. Also, it's one of the few moments where I don't leave a trail of corpses and trashed properties, which wouldn't be a problem if

    - 2 the writing wasn't that terrible. This new old new Saints Row takes itself way to serious and ends up mixing the comedy of "Friends" with mass murder, and if you are thinking right now that this would make sense because if you had to live with these people no one would survive... no. It completely lost that particular sense for irony that made the old games so great.

    +1 for the extended character creator that might be even better than the one in Saints Row 2. There are of course limitations, and shopping for clothes has become one of the thousand collectathons on the map without any real highlights, but it sticks out as something that feels finished.

    Which may be the overall problem. I hope they don't just throw this away and give up on it. Volition already knew how to make a great Saints Row game. With a little time they might remember and patch it back in. Potential buyers should wait until they do.    … Expand

    BLAND. I've played the last 2 SR games several times through. This one has irritating / vapid teammates and all the super crazy fun stuff is gone. They could have written in interesting gangs like the Sons of Samedi, or just anything. Most missions were so on the rails, they should've been animations. The glitches didn't end the game for me, but they are there through every mission.

    A bunch of criminal ventures just have you doing McDelivery missions and the coop is assed beyond fixing. I'm not even sure how they plan on fixing it.

    Game looks ugly compared to literally everything else coming before AND after it. Every mechanic you find is just better in other games, we're talking Just Cause 2.
    Mechanically speaking it's a very subtle improvement from SRTT. Melee though, is flawed.

    I can't understand why, and yeah, dismiss any review as a bigoted one, but they went with characters only "relatable" to the 0.1% of liberal college students.
    I can't understand FOR THE LIFE OF ME why the characters are so massively unappealing but EVERYONE who has played all the Saints Row games recently knows this might as well had been a spin-off, why they went with these lunatics instead of gangstas is beyond anyone's guess.

    So yeah. Call me an offended right winger but I'd rather play SR2 a dozen times than this mess. It's buggy, a dissapointed and a betrayal of an actual legendary saga, specially when they could have EASILY dethroned GTA if they had made it any appealing and improved anything instead of bugging everything that wasn't bugged.

    As an Embracer Group shareholder I am beyond dissapointed and I expect them, from now on, to do REAL QA and not just "yeah ship this, it's 'good enough'" because this game was anything except even "Good enough".    … Expand

    Look how they massacred my beloved series yet again and I do hope it stays dead after this failure or at least given to a competent studio.
    CONS:
    -Laughably bad story that seems like a forced twitter fever dream
    -Shooting mechanics that feel so spongy it makes the divisions gunplay look better.
    -Physics that just do not make sense. Your vehicle is essentially a tank at all times unless a mission calls for it.
    -Repetitive missions and side missions. ALL are fetch quests
    -Bugged melee and finishing moves that feel that they were not tested.
    -Dead world with no ambient sounds or civilians talking to each other. Feels hollow and half baked
    -COOP that is busted and the main point of me even trying to get a laugh resulted in numerous disconnects and frustration.
    -Animations that break at serious times
    -Enemy AI is brain dead that you could stand in front of them and they become confused.
    -Very bad shadows and graphical glitches that feel like a 360 title
    -Various clipping issues, one resulted in a clip outside of the map, free falling
    -No train physics what so ever resulting in hilariously bad clips
    The PROS
    -MAP: If the map had life into it I could see that they created a decent looking city to explore, that being said all of the buildings you cannot explore and there is no gambling in the casinos...missed opportunity
    -Character customization: The main feature and probably the one that got the most funding into was the customization you can do. Its a shame that its in this game.
    Conclusion:
    Even with all of the bugs ironed out and the COOP working, this is easiest the worst game release this year since Brokenfield and CP.
    The baked in mechanics and physics can only be haha funny for a short while, whilst the world may be interesting. Its only skin deep. Just like todays modern media it fails to deliver the spirit of gaming and what made this series so specials to fans in the first place.

    You guys playing this trash, Lmfao . How gaming industry come too this far? All of legendary series like Half-Life, GTA, Hitman, Portal, TES, Fallout, Stalker then it's end up like this? Oh and this game is Epig trash exclusive for those who dunno, saving your money XD.

    They aren't even trying anymore..

    Game looks like a ps3 game with somewhat ps4 textures with ray tracing. Girl voice actor 2 isn't even trying, animations are poor and rushed, plane in the intro sequence has no realizm/physics at all, just a bumpercar in the air, story is so far boring and cliche, gameplay is boring and not even enjoyable, and controls are annoying.

    I tried to post a normal review, but all I get is 404 error. So, I just post it like this.

    What the anti-sjw sjws dont understand is that nobody other than THOSE folk (the ones that fly confederate flags for a living) do not care about the supposed "woke" crap because they have a black character in the game or some other stuff the confederates somehow are offended by.

    Let me get to what really matters: The game is still crap regardless. It just isn't the supposed "wokeness"    What the anti-sjw sjws dont understand is that nobody other than THOSE folk (the ones that fly confederate flags for a living) do not care about the supposed "woke" crap because they have a black character in the game or some other stuff the confederates somehow are offended by.

    Let me get to what really matters: The game is still crap regardless. It just isn't the supposed "wokeness" that the far-right claims ruined the game. The game is truly ruined by "The Room" styled writing, repetitive missions (turret missions, shoot enemies in a car, defeat two waves of enemies before doing turret missions or shooting enemies in a moving car), tons of bugs, crashes, an empty open world, and more. The city is so empty, it makes Need for Speed Undercover's Tri-City Bay look like a lively world; and that says something. No seriously, watch videos of NFS Undercover and compare the world to Saints Row 2022.

    It's not about "GeT WoKe Go BrOkE!!!" or Epic exclusivity. If this game had GTA level humor, this game would still be awful. If it was available or even exclusive to Steam, the game would still be awful. Drop the politics and the platform wars for a second and call this game what it really is: An unfinished, buggy cash grab.    … Expand

    Every aspect of this game is just so bad. The shooting mechanics haven't changed in a decade. the vehicles are super floaty, the dialogue is just cringe af and it creates the biggest ludonarrative dissonance since uncharted. The only redeeming factors of this game are the customisation options and how fun it is to scroll through people's bosses

    В этой игре плохо абсолютно всё, графика хреновая, машины и многие объекты появляются у тебя на глазах, окружение пустое, геймплэй уныл. Поиграйте в 3 часть святых, она лучше во всём. А это к сожалению УГ. Меня хватило на пролог и половину первой миссии.В этой игре плохо абсолютно всё, графика хреновая, машины и многие объекты появляются у тебя на глазах, окружение пустое, геймплэй уныл.

    Графика из 3й части. Физика на нуле сюжет не затягивайт. Игра очень слабая. И недостаточно оптимизирована

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler alert-game is missing multi-player and feels like half a game....

    This game has worse controls then the old saints row. NO MULTI-PLAYER MODE.... Co-op is broken and can't be joined most of the time!

    I was a huge fan of saints row and blinged out ride game mode, protect the pimp, team death match.... This is a single player game only... With co-op that's broken... They did absolutely nothing new. I feel ripped off. Honestly not worth the money. If you do a fast turn with ebrake cops with dissappear instantly and so will your wanted level. The one time I got into a co-op match I got into one car and drove away my co-op partner could move because I went to far away from starting location. They just got locked could press any button.... I really hope saints row online gets release seperate to save this atrocity.. Or it could be the worst game of 2022. All the game play missions feel the same.... Run to location and kill someone.... Or run to a car and steal it and bring it back.... Nothing new nothing original... Npcs have hardly any ai intelligence... Like this is really bad guys... I wanted to love this game... I really did... And I paid $99 dollars for the top rated edition I should have known it would suck with all the different editions out...

    I wanted to play with my friends and make new friends, make out gang and customize our gang and take over over gangs... What happened to the fun of multi-player? Did devs decide we didn't need friends? Changed my rating to 0 because the more I think about it the more pissed off I get..    … Expand

    It doesn't get much worse than this. All the progress games have made over the last 20 years undone with this release. Makes me lose faith in the entire gaming industry after playing this for an hour. Please do not buy.

    A totally unnecessary reboot. Not to say the game isn't fun. It is. Again, it's pure escapism that exists just so you can fool around with a bunch of weapons and vehicles and not have to think about it. The problem is that previous installments have done the same thing - and infinitely better. [Issue#322]

    There’s a weight of history behind Saints Row, and no matter whether you’re comparing it to the more serious early games or the sillier later ones, it’s pretty clear that the Saints Row reboot doesn’t live up to any of them.

    A newcomer would be shocked by crude animations, wonky physics and bad gunplay. Fans of the franchise are kinda used to that, but they’ll be disappointed for another reason: while Saints Row 2022 does have a few fun moments, most of them are blatantly ripped from previous games of the series.
