    Score 69 from professional reviewers?
    Be sure to take!!!
    The best game of the year or even five years. Or what do you compare it to? Failed "failed" cyberpunk? Or with classic GTA remasters? Before that, the remastered game did not reach the level of Mafia 1, but it did not try. And after such games, you look at a game like Mafia 3 with different eyes. But it is better to    Score 69 from professional reviewers?

    And after such games, you look at a game like Mafia 3 with different eyes.

    But it is better to compare it with Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2, especially with Watch Dogs Legion, where more and more game mechanics, features and details were cut out with each part.
    Here even cars are not bricks on wheels and not pinned in the middle on a pin.

    Or you can compare it to Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3, although they have nothing to do with it. But do you understand what I mean?

    And we don't have a big list of such games:
    Mafia
    Mafia (restart).
    Watch Dogs
    Sleeping dogs
    GTA

    Maybe a couple more of these games.

    Did you expect more from her?
    The GTA level can only be reached by GTA and then, the big question is whether she will be able to do it with the 6th part. (and will she come out at all?)

    Definitely worth taking, that's just confused by the price, this game is clearly not at the level of $ 60, but thank you for not $ 70

    Only one thing I ask the developers, it's enough to shove such a style everywhere, it's not Fortnite enough, do normal graphics, from which it does not dazzle in the eyes.    … Expand

    This game is very good not perfect but the hate this game is receiving seems to be from people that wanted this game to be something its not (a gta clone/ competitor). Saints row is a arcady cartoony goofy game with little bits of realism, not everyone’s cup of tea but by no means a bad game .

    been playing this franchise since the first saints row game on the original xbox and this game is not all that bad. the map is not all that bad. i actually own the game and been playing it and so far no real so far only crashed one time. they fixed the start up bug. other than that really no bugs to speak of. the only thing i would like is more npc players and they they would interact with player like in other saint row games. nothing that cant be fixed in the coming months as they polish the game.

    a lot of the negative reviews are from people who do not even own the game. they start their reviews that they tried to get the game for free, but they could not get a free key and then they spent the rest of the review complaining about a game that they do not have and that they have not played and all you see in the videos are pre release game clips

    the other group i see are people who also have not bought the game and are upset because of their **** politics. honestly its a **** game. get over it.

    another bunch of people i see complaining also have not bought the game and are complaining about very early releases that they may have heard of and are not complaining about any bugs that they may know of in the actual release.

    another group are people who are not happy that its does not have their favorite characters. i dont know what to say dont buy the game.

    other than that what can i say the game is not the best gta clone, but not the worse. i needs some polishing. i just think it need more npcs...finally, i've not run across any bugs other than the game launcher is buggy and it takes a number of attempts to get the game running, real pain.    … Expand

This game is a lot of fun, it's certainly not the same as the original Saints Row series however. The gameplay is very different and tbh somewhat restrictive and simplified. However it is still enjoyable with a fun story full of humor that hits home for me as a kid of the late 80's to early 90's. What is really missing from this game is a working cover system. People saying this is "woke" I don't see it, and those opinions seem based on the trailer alone. Character customization is of course on point as always.… Expand

Alright, so I’ve put about 20 hours into the game and I’ve completed the main story and have done quite a bit of side activities, I can say I absolutely love the game, the customization is through the roof, Gun combat is a little funky but you get used to it, the story is definitely the worst part of the game though, very lackluster and boring, it doesn’t really get exciting until the final mission, but otherwise it’s a wonderful game, I’m still working on side activities but I truly think besides the story, this is the best Saints Row Game to date.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm from Russia. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy the game because of the sanctions, I had to download it. Yes, the characters in the plot, with the exception of the main character, are simply TERRIBLE. But the game is very interesting, in terms of the mechanics of shooting battles and a lot of variety that opens up over time. Pathetic people play it for 1 hour, under the influence of a herd feeling they put 0 out of 10. I really liked the game, compared it automatically with Far Cry 5. Saints Row is better at times, respect for a fun game, this is a 100% step forward in terms of gameplay.… Expand

As a 25 year old who was probably a bit on the young side when I played the first saints row I find the new one to be a good way to bring the characters up to date. That being said the shooting could be better and those who complain that the world is a bit lacking in activitys aren't worng compared to new games but I like it, it actually makes the game feel like you can 100% it and it not waste your time. The only issue I've had running the game is a known bug for the EGS store not giving permissions so I can only falt the game for being exclusive to a crap store on that front.… Expand

Mechanic, Nerd, Crazy One, and then your character who can literally be whatever you make them. Vehicle customization is better than ever. Guns are alright but are also fully customizable which makes up for the variety. The city/map is absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail and cultural influences are spot on. In no way does the city feel lifeless. A lot of returning radio stations, great soundtrack when causing chaos.

    I have to rate this a 10 even though I think it's a 7/8 simply because of the review bombers. If you are a fan of the series then it's worth playing. More fun than the Gat outta hell game that was really terrible. This feels like it fits in between SR2 and 3 as far as over-the-top gameplay and the craziness of the characters. No character will ever be as iconic as Jonny Gat and this game doesn't need one. It stands on its own legs and doesn't try to just be a "clone of the last game but slightly more over-the-top." I honestly think Volition did themselves a disservice with 3 and 4 (they were great games and fun as hell) because they left themselves with nowhere to go that would ever please their fanbase 100%. I applaud them for taking it back more to the roots and look forward to seeing what they do from here.    … Expand

    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.
