    Comparing it to older titles this one really isent good
    It looks like fortnite and gta had a bastard baby that has been hidden away for quite some time, only to bee paraded around due to the lack of anything else to show forth

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

    Don't do this yourself. Just don't. Please. I beg you. It isn't worth it. There is no type of excitement nor originality anywhere near this game, even the launcher forbids you to stop as a warning to not progress further. I had to start the launcher a handful of times to start a $60 game....that is absurd.

    What a waste.

    This game is bad, like really bad, maybe not the worst game ever, but honestly it's not that far off. I will admit there are some fun parts in this game and the graphics are pretty decent, but the fun wears off quickly and you're left with a boring and repetitive game.

Instead of a brand new game, it feels like some sort of SR3 DLC or what SR4 should’ve been instead of that president, alien and superhero abomination that was put out. If this was released in 2013 It maybe would’ve been exciting, but in 2022 it's a mediocre game with mediocre voice acting, cringe dialog, mediocre characters, boring and repetitive combat, a plethora of bugs (many game breaking ones) and the same animations and engine Volition has been using for over 10 years. 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. This is not Saints Row it only has the name because they knew it would sell decent numbers and make them some money. If you are a true fan of Saints Row, save your money. Do not buy this game.… Expand

    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 was a huge disappointment from even seeing the first trailer. I am huge fan of series with the 3rd one being my favorite. I don't know what happened at studio probably a lot of staff have left for some reason but the game does not feel the same at all. The game has unlikable weak characters i thought this series was about being gangster, the enemy gang looks cooler. BIGGESTThis Game was a huge disappointment from even seeing the first trailer.

During my several hours of gameplay I experienced more bugs than during 200 hours of CP2077. It's heartbreaking. I guess It's time to say goodbye to another good game series.… Expand

No more offensive, yet funny humor and wacky story missions, with over-the-top memorable characters that the original games reveled in.

Not the Generic, car-loving, musclehead panteros that just feel like discount brotherhood from SR2.

    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.

    All in all, it's an okay open world game, and a bad "Saints Row" game.    … Expand

    And the woke stuff that peiole phobia over usnt really there. All you get is q buzz cut indian woman with high sjw vibes that kill people. None of it makes sense. But then again when did it ever. None of the saints row games stories are cohesive or interesting. Yes this one might be slightly less interesting. But this wont make the earlier saints row gamed likr last of us.

    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.

    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

    Car physics worst in the entire series. Aiming worst in the entire series. Dialogues are new low level, literally amazing. Few basic bugs like game can't start without administrator approval needed to reinstall entire epic games to fix this. It get's 2 from me and not 0 cause the game actually has good songs on the radio stations and offers translation to my main language.

    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

    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.
