    Combat is very good. World is very nice. Concept is decent, but kind of confusing. Not sure I understand what the agents are fighting for. I think it's a bad idea to compare it to SR. Saint's Row had laugh out loud humor. The humor in AOM is just strange. It just isn't very funny, which was part of the SR charm.
    AOM is Saints Row that has been sanitized by political correctness.    Combat is very good. World is very nice. Concept is decent, but kind of confusing.

    AOM is Saints Row that has been sanitized by political correctness. And when any philosophy (religious or political) is injected into entertainment, the product becomes kind of lame IMHO.
    Great potential. Just not quite there.    … Expand

    It had a good concept, but the execution was lacking. While I appreciate the "Saturday Morning Cartoon"-esque vibe, the game play itself was too repetitive for me. Same objectives, same locations, same everything. Characters were obnoxious, humor fell flat on its face, and I overall did not have an enjoyable time with it. This game is also buggy sometimes.

There were at times where the game wouldn't let me progress through it TWICE, forcing me to restart my game. And I got this game 4 months after its launch. That says a lot really.

    I'm sure there are some backers out there who like this game, and that is fine. But for me, I felt rather disappointed, almost mad even because I know Volition can do better.

    It costs $10 now after 5 months of its launch...which is a really bad sign if I do say so myself. I could only recommend this game to those who are really curious. If not, then it would be better if you play the Saints Row games.    … Expand

    Don't want to mention the character dialogue because man, did they miss an opportunity to make something epic with it.

    My take on it is that they had a lot of good intentions with the game but missed to reach the finish line and the goal.

    Get it on a discount or when the price drop to below 25$    … Expand

    As an absolute Saints Row fan, I really enjoy this game. Its kinda like GTA with modern MOBA-Elements. You start with three agents who play completely different. You unlock about 10 more through missions. Every character has a great voice acting a a variety of upgradable skins. Some of the characters are really well designed. And the humour is great.

    The world has the perfect size, not to big and not to small, lots of collectibles, and beautiful.

    Mission variety is a little dull. You kill people, destroy things or save/protect things/people. But its a one-of-a-kind-game and you will certainly enjoy it.    … Expand

    This game fails to capture the magic that was sparked by the Saints Row franchise.

    Creaky old level design, a loathsome entourage of heroes, and a lifeless open world. [Nov 2017, p.81]

    Agents of Mayhem tries and in parts succeeds in reminding us of the golden days of our childhood. Cartoons, evil geniuses, good guys, stylish humor (mostly hit-or-miss) and, of course, tons of pure, entertaining action. The variety between the well-designed Agents is what truly makes the game shine, and it’s a shame that the open world of Seoul is so repetitive and, despite the many colors and explosions, dull. It basically emulates every part of a classic “mediocre open-world game”.

    Furious and entertaining city action from Saints Row's creators, benefits from popular team actions, but doesn't offer any real team at the same time. The technical issues, non-attractive missions and unbalanced characters spoil the fun.
