    Игра на крепкую семерочку. В целом сойдет поиграть. Хейтеров не очень понимаю. Поиграйте сначала, а потом уже оценки ставьте. Разработчики тоже хороши. Могли бы и навстречу игрокам пойти, а не вот это вот.

    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

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

    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?

    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

    Okay...Giving it a 10 to counteract the reviews that haven't played it because if you call it woke trash you probably didn't even buy it. If you complain about the graphics you are watching YouTube videos off your phone.

    It's fun. Not perfect. Plays a lot like 3 but with some newer mechanics. Love the gliding. Gunplay feels so much better than 1-4. The characters are all different and play into their tropes well. 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.

    All in all, it's a good game and a great saints row. Don't get up with what is considered woke or generational and just enjoy the mayhem and comedy.    … 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

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

    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

    It's a mess. I've played through it and the bugs are abysmal, some are minor visual, but some are legit game breaking, like a mission where the enemy npc that was supposed to chase me just didn't. The graphics legitimately look like a late-stage PS3 game from 2013, the character customization is crap compared to even Saints Row 1. The shooting is funky with bulletspongy enemies that are basically braindead when you fight them. The map, while admittedly prettier than Steelport from 3 and 4 still feels fairly generic and is extremely scarcely populated. The guns are meh. The physics are 300x worse than even SR1, they might as well not exist. The driving physics are worse than GTA VC. But nothing beats the story and dialogue. I am not going to go in depth because I feel enough has been already said, but it's bad. Really bad. Let's just sum it up by what someone on the internet said before: "I admire Volition for their dedication in keeping their artistic vision of making the most 2018 game possible". The characters do not feel like gangsters at all, and the entire thing feels like it was written by a 45 year old white woman who surfed through Twitter for 2 hours.

    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

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.

    Santa Illeso is a bland, boring, empty open world, while fun to explore at first, offers nothing to find but a few collectables of pointless value. The mission structure feels way too repetitive, you can no longer buy businesses or take over districts one section at a time. All the clothing for customization is littered all over the map with way too many individual vendors. Want a cool cape? You have to drive all the way into the mountains to buy it from a guy that sells that and gloves, cool. Bugs were minor and frequent but never game breaking for me, and after about 5 hours I had no desire to play this "new" saints row anymore.

    Gun combat is way too clunky for a 2022 game. The camera snap feature on all different settings made me want to just quit. Enemies will charge you while you're fine aiming so you have no option but to get animation locked when hit while you try to back away, but cant so you stumble around and get shot at by the others. Guns would constantly be un-loaded when I'd swap to them, and my character would often times get stuck reloading over and over again.

    The features of placing specific building for empire planning and being able to customize anywhere are really cool, and I wish I had these options in the previous games to make it feel like I was running a real criminal enterprise.

    When Saints Row does GTA it never works, but when Saints Row does Saints Row, its always great. This is just another open world clone with no substance and forgettable content.

    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.

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

    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. I mean this game can be fun for a lot of people but it doesn't feel like a AAA title from 2022.    … Expand

    The game feels outdated, and I'm not just talking about the graphics. Boring characters, story and missions. The city is lifeless (saints row 3&4 definitely had more effort put in their cities). I guess it can be fun if you like brainless open world games but if you want something different and good this is not it.

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.

    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

Then you have to wait some seconds for the game to continue normally, it is ridiculous.... This is no pop in, it is poop in... Jesus... 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...

    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.

It's also been very clear since the reveal trailer that this game is made for younger kids of this generation, it's obvious Volition and Deep Silver don't care about old SR fans. They would rather pander to kids who have never played a Saints Row game in their life than the actual long time fans. Volition had a great opportunity here to capitalize on the open world, third person shooter market with the absence of Rockstar over the past 9 years, but they would rather dumb down their games so that 13 year olds who enjoy Fortnite can hop on this game and have fun. We told them from the start, "this is not what we want" "this looks terrible" "bring back the old saints" and all they could do is call us haters, well as it turns out the fans and consumers of the product were right yet again. I hope that Volition & Deep Silver will one day realize that they messed up bad with this game and the 3 before it just because they outright refuse to listen to their fans. I would like to see them publicly apologize for this poor excuse of a "Saints Row" game, but that will never happen, they will never admit that they were wrong, even if this was the final nail in the coffin for their already downward spiraling company.

    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]

    A newcomer would be shocked by crude animations, wonky physics and bad gunplay.
