    Hot contender for worst game of 2022. They literally took everything that made Saints Row 1-4 fun and tossed it out. What is left is a low quality rip-off of GTA, MINUS the fun.
    Graphics are a good 10 years behind, quests are repetitive and tedious, and the bugs! Think Cyberpunk 2077 launch bug fest!

    Worst offender are the characters. Gone are the beloved characters such as Gat or Shaundi, replaced by absolute trash characters that I just want to kill off and not coop with. Their goal: to pay off student loan. And bash capitalism. Really? That's the best they could come up with??? They are the diversity hires of the gaming world and just absolute cringe. Coupled with totally abysmal writing this is a recipe for disaster making you yell at the characters to just STFU! Unfortunately you can't shoot them ( I tried).
    Then there's the visuals: atrocious! When you go out of town into the desert you could mistake the game for Rage 2 - it looks almost the same from the washed out desert graphics to the pink arrows on the road telling you where to go next.
    Dumbed down gameplay (auto-aim), a bland, empty, boring open world.
    This piece of absolute garbage has NO REDEEMING features. Not one. This is a turd of a game.    … Expand

    game will drop to half gpu utilisation and half fps no matter what api you use after a cutscene or if you alt tabbed, if it happens, change any graphic settings that need apply, press apply and it will be fixed until next cutscene

    Not to mention buggy ai behaviour vehicles despawning out of nowhere and setimes there are no Peds or vehicles on game world.
    Coming to gameplay and side activities these are out dated and un interesting as **** like in most of business ventures you gotta go to X place and stear X car or go to X place and kill enemies and the game is just driving to a location and shoot people and mixed with cringe dialogues this is just tedious this game has nothing special or good and this takes chore like activities to a whole another lvl like to unlock a perk you need to complete challenges etc even all ubisoft games look better and interesting compared to this.

    Finishing off this review with any self-respecting developer should start refunding the game given the state this **** is in they are not even doing that. this game is not even worth pirating    … Expand

    would have been better as a $30 game with $15 season pass...

    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

    The game feels like Saints Row 3.5 to be honest and I'm pretty okay with that. It would have been nice to see some more gameplay improvements/features but its still pretty enjoyable

It would have been nice to see some more gameplay improvements/features but its still pretty enjoyable

    It feels like the sequel to the third one if they went in a more serious route instead of the insanity of 4. There is less crude sexual humor( stripper/BDSM/Furry type stuff) and 2010 internet humor(Twilight/Dubstep/Unicorns/Zombies) in favor of broader style with a bit more of millenial/genz focus. That other stuff is still there but toned down to a bit more realistic level. You're not fighting waves of gimps or furries basically.

    The story is pretty good nothing really groundbreaking but kept my interest with the biggest downside being it is a bit short compared to the other games. The game is definitely aware of how corny some it's characters are and pokes fun at them pretty regularly. Most of those moments are usually just used to set up later jokes. Like the student loan thing was pretty much just two throw away jokes in the very beginning of the game doesn't really come up again at all. Kevin whose part of the Idols is made fun of for being part of hypocritical anarchist cult multiple times. I really wouldn't say the game is woke or pc at all and seems to throw its punches at everyone it just doesn't really punch all that hard. Kind of like a Ubisoft game.

    Gameplay wise its Saints Row 3 with a few improvements and different side activities which are all pretty fun. Not driving around with a tiger but still enjoyable. Upside is you don't have to do the side stuff to progress the story like in 3. Downside is they do get kind of repetitive but no worse than the third one.

    Art wise the game is really pretty and the city is visually interesting making it really interesting to explore and see the landmarks. Even the load screen art is really awesome with some amazing graffiti pieces. The city definitely has far more character to it than Steelport but it doesn't have much intractability so it mostly just serves as backdrop to blow **** up in.

    It's definitely buggy but so far I havent run into anything game breaking and some of them have been pretty fun tbh. Kind of like a bethesda game.

    Overall I can see why people are disappointed as it really is just Saints Row 3.5 but it doesn't really deserve the thrashing its being given. I'd say if liked the third one you'll like this one but I can also totally understand someone waiting till its like 40 bucks.    … Expand

    This one has none of that. It's boring, bland, the cringe and the absurd is still there but is not fun anymore. You don't actually have anything to do. Empty streets like there was some kind of zombie apocalypse and everyone is dead, the few pedestrians you find on the street act like stupid 2008 AI with a single animation jump to avoid being run over, the same exact animation each and every time. There is no running kill moves, police chases end as soon as you exit your vehicle, there is no wanted system, they removed some of the previous Saints Row features, you have this absolute disastrous aiming mode, and add a bunch of bugs, horrible performance issues, fps drops, freezes, stuttering and you have the worst game of 2022, and of course, the worst Saints Row since the first one.

    This should not have been a Saints Row game. The game on its own is..... okay. It's cringe, but playable. The writing really needed more work, and so did the rest of the game, but it's playable. This game is the definition of wasted potential. I don't know if it was the lack of time, or lack funds, (both of which is visible) but this game deserved better.

    Once again Volition has proved that they do not give two **** about what the fans what in this franchise. Even without THQ rushing out a sequel SR4 was a better job then this dumpster fire.
    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    Look how they massacred my boy!

    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.
    This is a wake up call to developers to listen to fans.

    Horribly unfinished, bewilderingly outdated and lacks any appeal. Outside of being a bug ridden and horrendously underbaked game, it is still the worst game in a franchise that spans 16 years.

    And just to add insult to injury, the game's optimization is some of the worst in recent memory.

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.

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.

    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

    How is it possible that the game that came out on the XBOX360/PS3 is still a thousand times better than the one we get now? I'm talking about Saints Row 2. The characters, the story, all of it was so much more fun.

    TLDR: a tremendous disappointment it wants to be saints row but gives a fortnite type of vibe in terms of the audience that should play it, they made it a little more friendly feels like, SR3 felt like they actually targeted an actual mature player base but here its like they aim for idk 10-16-17 yr olds. A great example is Borderlands where they added streaming and social media into the story like it is not their place in these types of video games. The game is just BLAND

    Idk why this comparison came to mind SR3 feels like an actual action movie with jokes but when i think of the reboot i outright think of it as being Toys Story from Disney xD

    I believe it can 100%be enjoyed by some people and 100% hated by others however i am in the middle cant give it a 6 either because we waited too damn long just to get this one of the games ever made but i do say TRY IT see if you like the game    … Expand

Few basic bugs like game can't start without administrator approval needed to reinstall entire epic games to fix this.

But also the dung-heap of a studio, that can't even listen to constructive criticism from their own fan base. In conclusion, this is literally the worst modern video game, i have ever played. To slap the label of Saint's Row on this **** was nothing more than a marketing strategy to attract old fans, because this felt nothing like the previous games.

    I got this game for free thanks to AMD. I wouldn't spend more than 20 euro for it, at least at the moment.

    Firstly because the game has a lot of bugs, i.e. you get undressed and completely unequipped after restarting it sometimes. Or it happens you get messed up by the really weird arcade like physics and fly around like a football just because someone hit you with a melee weapon.    I got this game for free thanks to AMD.

    Secondly the game feels like an outdated game from around 2015 even if you ignore the fact that it is really bugged. That is because the voice acting and animations are cheap, the plot is weak and overall the world feels dead. It's basically a polished arcade game with a bad story and an open world with unused potential, just to justify the price tag. I've read the story is around 15 hours, although I won't make it that far - too boring game play, frustrating bugs and repetitive side activities.

    But there are some good things, that may bring some people to like this game, i.e. the nice tuning options near GTA standards, the good character editor with the option to share characters or even the pretty nice graphics with the setting in Mexico.

Gonna go point by point here to make sure I don't miss anything. I'm reviewing this from a purely co-op buyer's experience.
    1) EGS Exclusive. It's a real slap in the face that you released the game as an EGS exclusive with the Steam API dll in the installation folder, and listed as a platform on the bug ticket page. No one wants this other than you. Stop it.
    2) Co-op is an absolute **** mess. My wife and I play this together, and 5 hours of playtime has actually been about 2 hours of gameplay due to the absolute state of online. Desyncs, crashes, and mission breaking bugs are the norm. We have been really excited for this for over a year and the absolute unplayable state of the co-op is appalling. We can no longer even play together. Online just stopped working after we completed our last mission together.
    3) Non-game breaking, but annoying bugs are everywhere. From cosmetic resets, to falling through terrain, to cars getting bounced every where, if you touch it, it's likely to break. It does create some funny moments, but after a while the comedy wears off and all you're left with is a janky product that honestly feels like its systems are working against you most of the time.

    It's really frustrating. There is a good game here. Unfortunately, Deep Silver seems more intent on torching any chance this reboot has of being accepted, let alone loved, than delivering on a polished project and fluid experience. The good news is that most of these issues are fixable. The bad news is that I doubt I'll know for a bit. If EGS grants my wife and I refunds, we'll catch it next year on Steam.    … Expand

But there is nothing to write home about either. This game definitely lacks a soul.

    It can be played for a change for a few evenings and then forgotten like many other unremarkable games you will forget after a year or two.
    For players who never played Saints Rows game before it would be 5/10 average game which does not deserve any hype, but does not deserve much hate either.
    For players like me who did played all previous Saints Rows and thus unable to avoid comparison with predecessor - that is 4/10 and after playing for several hours I just want to go back playing previous games again.
    In a few months after some polishing and removal of critical bugs this game can get +1 to it's final score from me, but that is all.    … Expand

    The game isn't that bad, but there are many weak points. SR 2022 is really boring and slow. In addition, game wants to be a clone of GTA V without even understanding why people liked it.

    Both gameplay and story are unimpressive. You can cut off 1/2 of the plot without losing product quality. Says a lot, doesn't it? Characters are flat. It's like they came out of some modern show.

    Characters are flat. It's like they came out of some modern show. But even in the TV shows, the characters develop over the course of the story. The characters in SR Reboot received almost no development, except for the Boss.

    Open-world is generic. Shooting is meh. The only good mission is the last one.

    Simply put, Saints Row 2022 would have been a nice Netflix series about teenagers solving their problems by meaningless violence, but Volition missed the part where it was a Game about you "Becoming your own Boss".

    The game still has potential because it's never too late to make SR at least playable with huge patches, reworks and DLCs. Take Cyberpunk 2077 as an example.    … Expand

    Clearly the haters are politically motivated. This game is getting review bombed. The game isn't that bad.

    The main issue is there are still a handful of bugs and performance issues. Some people might be able to get it to run smoothly. I almost did, but there was just too many occasional stutters for me to ignore. I'll come back and reevaluate the game after a patch or two.

    This genre of game is not lacking for other options. This one still has potential to be really good if performance issues are fixed, but do not support an unfinished product. Buy used.    … Expand

    What the actual F? What happened to just being fun over the top GTA-like game? This truly is a "modern" take on the series.

Instead we get this cringe and bland modernized take that is afraid to insult anything giving us the tragedy of the SR series. Cringe writing, horrible combat, buggy game and outdated graphics were not what I was expecting from SR series when game after game you managed to keep the series fun and fluent till now.

    Give the game a chance, try it yourself, than blindly listen to someone else's opinion!!

    If you liked the game, tell your friends about it, let the game fail at the start, but in the end it will beat off

    It will be a pity to lose the Saints Row series, given that the restart is made with a lot of work and plays great     … Expand

    The aiming in this game is simply atrocious, you are better off just letting your crosshair on the middle of the screen and moving your character around to line up the shots.

    It's every bit as bad as people expected it to be after seeing the cringe characters and clear political agendas..In a word it is boring ...On the bright side old Karen's like Anita Sarkesian finally have another game to play that wont offend them. Unfortunately for Volition Karens only complian about games, they don't play them or BUY them, so hope they enjoy their flowing.

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

    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.
