The story is a bit meh and the missions are mostly rehashes from SR4, so it all comes down to how much you like the new mechanics.… Expand

True, Saints Row games aren't really best at story telling, but Gat Out of Hell has two of the last surviving humans from Saints Row IV willingly travel to Hell to get back the President, and causing such a ruckus in the neighborhood, all leading to a showdown with Satan himself. Well for being as epic as it sounds, it's just meh. The boss battle takes a few minutes, it doesn't feel epic, really just feels like you're fighting a tank enemy that teleports and throws some little guys at you. The main story is about 5 missions and can be completed in about an hour, but the game restricts you from progressing by making you do open world game play to reach a certain rank. That's completely fine, and understandable even, but the open world game play here is tedious and too much filler.
   
   Other Saints Row games had a lot of story content (and better story content too), which made the open world game play better. It was a nice break from the action, and never felt like a chore. Here, 90% of the game is open world game play, so it's pretty much all filler. The super powers are back once again, and I only used like 2 of the new powers throughout the whole game because they were so OP. The rest weren't as useful or as powerful, or as easy to use, and I only used them for the related challenges. The game is heavily grind-oriented in that aspect.
   
   The world of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is just a re-imagined Steel Port with a Hell skin, and for an expansion pack that's fine, but how many times are we gonna take over Steel Port in these games? Mix it up! Saints Row IV had us become President of the US! Let's take over some other areas for a change.
   
   Overall the game has a lot of standard Saints Row humor, and the writing is still entertaining and well-delivered, but all the filler content and epic story with mediocre execution just doesn't make this as good a game as Saints Row the Third or Saints Row IV… Expand

The flying controls are actually pretty cool, but the superpowers are not meaningful or interesting for the most part. You can blaze through the main story in a couple hours. Not a huge fan of the side missions other than the flying.… Expand

Its not a total disaster (if you liked IV you'll probably find something to enjoy here) but the awkward controls and repetitive nature of many of the missions, that have plagued the series since it began, are becoming harder and harder to forgive and this series really needs to make big changes if I'm going to invest any more time to it.… Expand
