    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.

    The actual core concept of students having to rely on criminality to be able to pay off student debt is a very interesting concept. However.. this game is like a Netflix adaptation of the real Saints Row.

    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).

    Game play is mediocre. Even after a full year after release buggy. Sky is different shades of Purple and blues?? and cars sounds non existent. Too bad because the first Saints Row ever was great. Time to let this series die out.

    Holy **** this game is bad. Some halfwit here **** themselves over it having a 69 rating from critics and claimed that not only was it game of the year, but the best game of the past 5 years. This is, of course, an excellent way to either say that you haven't played another game in that time, or that the studio is paying to shill for them. It now has a rating of 65 by the way...

The same halfwit ignores the bugs that this game had on launch.

    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

    I have a lot of lags and bugs on 3060ti. at the end of the game missions are very boring, the storyline is interesting but at the end too, especially stop watching him. If you make a normal optimization game will be more less.

    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.

    Este jogo e literalmente um dos piore jogos que já jogue, isso que só fan da franquia sants row nao e a historia ou as missões que tornam o jogo ruim e que ele e mal feito pra caralho e ainda por este este remake so piorou a franquia ja que a historia anterior era muito melhor, baixe o jogo de graça e ainda assim foi caro

    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.

    I have fun with that game. I play it when I'm bored. Sometimes I start the game make 2 Quests and close the game. It's like Fast and Furious 10. Much action, guns exploding cars and explode everywhere. Bought for 20€ in Epic Store. Would buy again.

    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

    With time and most bugs fixed, it could be a half decent game (5 out of 10 if bought at 60% off) if they had given it another name. The game doesn't look like the original and looks terrible when compared.

    They did it again !! They somehow managed to destroy everything people loved about the Saints Row franchise in an attempt to force their woke messages through to the players. The characters were bland with no personality, the dialogue was outrageous and the plot was outright terrible.

    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

    There are about 10 missions in the whole game... You go straight for the other "gangs" and end them after creating the saints... yeah... pathetic excuse for a game and anyone who thought this would be an amazing game while working on it should get out of game development, 80 dollar price tag for a mobile game at most, might as well just throw in ads after every few steps

    Once again they have taken something we love, something created with tons of passion in hard work from a devoted group of guys, and turned into a dumpster fire, pandering to people who hate video games.

    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.

    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.
