Saints Row IV: Re-Elected

It's a great package that doesn't push technical boundaries. It held up good enough, though, to still be a more than worthwhile buy if you have not experienced I yet. But it's not one of those remasters you want to play again because you "never experienced it like this".

For every mission of dull gunplay, though, Saints Row IV offers up something freaky in response.

Even though the story mode is very short, Saints Row IV: Re-elected is still a really fun game. The superpowers with a Saints Row twist add a lot to the experience and that makes this a fun, crazy adventure.

If you've already played Saints Row IV, then Re-elected probably isn't for you, but this graphically updated version is still as fun and crazy as the original 2013 game was. The difficulty gets a hairline fracture thanks to some of the DLC powers included in the game, but as an overall package this is still a fantastic game.

Unfortunately, this review isn’t for the full combo with Gat, and by itself, Saints Row IV Re-Elected doesn’t fully justify its campaigning for another term. If it’s your first time in office, however, then this is a great opportunity to jump in and take part in what is a pretty awesome open world super-powered (anti)hero game.

A blast from start to finish, the president's tale of vengeance is the stupidest fun that you can have on Sony's newest console, and we mean that in the best possible way.

However, if you skipped Saints Row IV when it originally landed there’s no reason not to dive in now. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is an easy recommendation for adventurous players with a taste for the bizarre – especially at the bargain price of just $30.

Delivering a near-endless supply of side-content and addictive combat, Saints Row IV is ridiculously easy to recommend, but Re-Elected’s limited enhancements and unwelcome technical issues keep this version from being the definitive version that it should be.

Not the best remastered edition of all time, but a fun and satisfying game nonetheless. The DLCs extend the longevity of an already huge (and highly insane) game. Despite the low price, it's not recommended if you already played it on PS3.

Re-Elected is a bumper bundle of joy whichever way you want to cut it. Anyone in possession of a last-gen copy need not upgrade though as there is no significant upgrade in technical terms to warrant a re-purchase on these grounds. For those new to it, you’re in for a treat.

Saints Row IV: Re-elected is basically the same game that we saw in 2013. Another remaster with all DLC and new Gat of out Hell add-on, more resolution but identical graphics issues. Fun and arcady, it's a good option for those who couldn't play it on PS3 or 360.

Humor sharpens Saints Row IV’s experience, though it won’t stop you from wondering of what it could have been with a bit more focus.

With the exception of adding super-powers, it’s pretty much the same old thing.

The best opportunity to enjoy one truly wicked sandbox on the next gen platforms. We can only recommend it if you haven´t played Saints Row IV on previous gen consoles, because the experience is exactly the same as we saw a year and a half ago.

The bland remastered edition of a one-and-half-year-old game, plus a reasonably good stand alone expansion. More meat than technique.

Quotation forthcoming.

Repetitive and unashamedly fun (but a lacklustre port to PS4).

Nowhere near as visually impressive as new-gen GTA V, Re-Elected is still wildly entertaining. [March 2015, p74]

Saints Row Re-Elected is a lazy porting of a good game. Volition has filled the gameplay with an amazing number of contents, but all the problems are still there.

Saints Row IV puts the pedal to the metal from minute one and offers an exaggerated, silly and entertaining adventure - if you are in the right mood. The game has received a much-needed technical upgrade that improves the graphics and gameplay, but there are still some rough corners like bland graphics and an uneven framerate. Annoying problems, although they do not prevent Saints Row 4 Re-elected from entertaining greatly.

There are not any remarkable additions, but at least the visual improvement is appreciated. It is not the best sandbox game, but it'll give you tons of fun.

Technically, this is a pretty half-hearted "in no way super" port. Yet Re-Elected remains a beefy package with a heroic amount of content and a set of enjoyable mechanics. [March 2015, p.90]

A lot of contents but they are too old for the actual consoles.
