    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).

    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.

    They took everything that was great about Saint's Row III & IV and threw a lot of it away by bowing to the censorship crowd. (i.e. RimJobs is now JimRob's for the chain of garages.)

(i.e. RimJobs is now JimRob's for the chain of garages.) Unfortunately in its current form, the game is a hot mess because of countless bugs causing anything from vehicle and character appearances not saving properly to random freezes and crashes - particularly when finishing a mission of side challenge. Despite reservations after the trailer, I still had hope that they might have pulled off a good reboot. Reboots almost never turn out well and this one is mixed in my view. It certainly didn't help that they decided to use this game as a vehicle for wading into the American culture wars. Why any business thinks that is a good idea is beyond me. Trying to please a noisy minority at the expense of the overwhelming majority that just wants to have fun playing a game without being dragged into the culture wars is absolutely idiotic.

    The new characters are fairly shallow but I do actually find them likeable overall. They certainly reflect the current generation although they went overboard I think in trying to tick all of the "woke" boxes with them. The graphics are not much better than SR-IV released almost ten years ago but the character creator is marginally improved. I dislike how they mistreated their existing fan-base when they showed the trailer with a whole new cast of characters and then attacked the fans for the criticism. While I do find the new game enjoyable and the characters ok, I can understand how people can get attached to a set of characters and feel that attacking them and denigrating them to be stupid. I'll give it a 7 overall despite its numerous issues because I do like the new characters (despite the obvious box-ticking) and the gameplay is still fun in The Saint's style.    … Expand

    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

    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 gunplay sucks. Comparing it to Max Payne 3, Gears of War, the Last of Us where shooting someone’s limbs generates reactions, this game has none. They are all bullet sponges with health bars. Like Crackdown 3. C’mon, it’s 2022, we expect combat at least like the Farcry series with blood splatters and perhaps some bullet holes on the wounds. How about some dismemberment like in Dying light? Also, guns don’t have that powerful feel in them, they are lacking punches and details.

    - Don't do free aiming. At least do auto target to make your experiences better.

    - Graphics. C’mon, Why can’t it be like Red Dead? SR3 and this game had barely any graphical changes! This almost looks like a free to play game. Hell, even other free to play games have better graphics.

    - Driving. Cars reach maximum speed in like 1 or two seconds?! C’mon, every car feels like same. Why can’t each car handle like Forza? Okay, maybe just like GTA4 where you can feel the different weight of the cars in play. Each police chase has no tension or suspense because the cars are like toy cars and you don’t outrun the cops by hiding like in a corner.

    - Lack of blood. Man, even GTA3 had dismemberment!

    - Lack of outfits compared to Saints Row 3 and Saints Row 2. (Where's the Oktober Fest Lolita Dress?)

    - Lack of conventional cool weapons. Where's the flamethrower?

    - Lack of weapon customization. Can't put extended mag, scopes, stocks, and so forth.

    - Terrible physics. It's 2022. I'd expect cars to flip like that they do, and handle with Newton's laws.

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...

    First off, f*** anti-SJWs. I somewhat enjoy playing the game, but that's when it actually works (which is like %30 of of the time) The game is bland, badly written and a waste of money.

    Sadly, if you take all the bad things apart of this game, it doesn't leave you with a good game.
    Sad how they really took the work of the previous devs and handle it to devs who can't create a good game if their income depends on it.... wait it does.

    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

Driving is still as floaty as ever. Customization is amazing and a lot of games would benefit from looking at this as it sets a new bar.

    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

If you even remotely enjoyed the other saints row games I HIGHLY recommend you pick this game up when it’s in the $5 bin at Walmart or a stream sell. Shoot, it may even make its way to the Free to claim for a few days on the Epic store in the future. I’m not over exaggerating, this game is an obsolete disgrace to the series.

    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.

    -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

    Dated graphics

    Ignore the metabombing reviews, this game as is is roughly a 5/10 which is basically 'average'. It would be a lot better if the game had more time in the oven because the game is significantly buggy, for me personally its crashed multiple times, I've had T posing characters, unable to attack bugs or unable to take photos for collectables.

    So what is Saints Row? This is a reboot/remake of the original so gone are the famous characters of the original and replaced with new characters, the jury is out on how these develop but so far for me, don't seem nearly as memorable as the old crew.

    Graphics, even playing on DX12 on a high end rig...the graphics are dated and whilst playable it doesn't innovate at all, in fact I'd almost say the graphics are a downgrade from the later SR games. Sound is buggy with music sometimes not playing, or sound effects not playing but when it works it once again, is just okay.

    Gameplay is a problem, they literally choose the Ubi Soft route by cramming in as many collectables, mini-games, discovery points and things to collect that it heavily distracts from the main story, the issue is that to gain territory you must complete most of these. Gameplay is buggy too, I've had main missions completely bug out and force to either restart the mission or restart the entire game in order to progress, aiming is a huge problem especially riding on car roofs where it seems massively off making it really difficult to complete some of the sub objectives, the aiming needs a complete rework.

    Character creation is great, much better than the previous games but the clothing often bugs out resetting your clothing options constantly but otherwise has plenty of character options to make interesting or unique characters.    … Expand

    Terrible writing, terrible characters. Graphics so bad it's worse than games ten years ago that it just blatantly copied most of it's features from and did worse.

The shooting mechanics are just absolutely some of the worst in video game history. The driving feels so cheap. There is no doubt that the same cringe wokester mindset people they hired to write this terrible story and cringe characters were hired to code this mess. You can see the same lack of intelligence. On several missions In a group of 30 AI enemies 20 of them were literally the same avatar of some cringe diversity character instead of just making more people to fight against. What in the world is that about? Just the type of cringe lazy lack of creativity you would expect from a these type of people. It feels absolutely nothing like the saints row games at all to make this all so much more insulting. If you cringe wokesters wanted to go make a game like this that would have been one thing but why did they have to destroy the saints row franchise with these terrible ideas. Game must have been made by young kids fresh out of some college that brainwashed them into communists to have come out with a piece of garbage smelling this bad.… Expand

    The game is buggy and outdated, and the story is mostly cringe, and not as emotional and interesting as SR2.

    The gameplay is "fun" but it's baffling to me how this is worse than SRTT and SR2.

    The gameplay is literally worse. Nice balance changes to make insurance fraud "harder" by making it so you can't just ride a car while on adrenaline, nerd. Very needed "fix". 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    The gameplay is "fun" but it's baffling to me how this is worse than SRTT and SR2.

    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

    Catastrophic controls, bad story, lots of mistakes. So much waiting for stupidity from the game.

    Cringe conversations, boring characters, mostly boring/repetitive quests, lifeless map & on top a buggy mess. I should probably be used to it by now, that games release 80% finished, still it's simply annoying. Probably bug-free & worth the money in half a year.

    Saints row actually liked me. The missions aren´t repetitive, the characters are nice and has a good gameplay. I haven´t bugs. The map and graphics are its bad points.

    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.
