    So since it's on Plus I decided to give it a go. The hate is deserved. I'm so glad I didn't pay for this.

    Worst experience in a long time, the game is absolutely garbage and you would think that at least they would be able to top their around 10 year old games, but somehow they managed to make a game that seems like it came out before their old games, and even a year after the release of the game it’s still almost unplayable on all platforms, i for the life of me cannot imagine how so manyWorst experience in a long time, the game is absolutely garbage and you would think that at least they would be able to top their around 10 year old games, but somehow they managed to make a game that seems like it came out before their old games, and even a year after the release of the game it’s still almost unplayable on all platforms, i for the life of me cannot imagine how so many people can be so blind and not see what a big failure it was before releasing it, the idea alone for this game should have been cancelled before anything, but the worst part is definitely the lack of either dedication or experience because these developer’s clearly don’t even know how to program/code basic aim controls and is publicly acting like spoiled kids on social media when called out on anything bad related to their game and claims that anyone who dislikes their ip is in the wrong, truly sad to see how nowadays some people can call themselves developers and create and massive ip like this and then fail so miserably.

    Ps. I still love all the old saints row games they were gems and will never be forgotten.    … Expand

This is a game made by people who clearly don't play games or know how to make basic games. I've seen better games on my old Nokia 402 (that's the one from the 90's). I'm not going to sit here and list the flaws because I only have 5000 characters to play with and I don't want to waste my life any more than I already have thinking about this diabolical excuse for a game (don't worry, I didn't play for long). Let's just get to the conclusion: if you're evil enough, and you believe in Hell, then this is what it will feel like. Just atrocious. People need to go to prison for this release. Just smash your head against a brick wall - you'll find it much more fun.    … Expand

    You are paid to create games without WOKE political ideology. They didn't listen to the thousands of players and now they are closing their doors.

    WOKE doesn't like video games and movies. their intention is only to create noisy minorities that aim to divide society and families.

    All game and movie companies that follow WOKE will come to the same end.

When the trailer dropped and everyone commented that they'd prefer to play as the gang in orange in the trailer, as opposed to the gang of Twitter hipsters that the devs had made, that told you all it needed to. That initial reaction was 100% correct. Sadly. Another great decision from the 2023 school of thought - let's reinvent something that nobody wants reinventing, instead of giving people what they've literally told us they want.… Expand

    Giving saints row a 3.9/10, had a giggle here and there out of this cringe game, would of been a 2.9 but I got it for free out of a playstation 5 bundle.

    The game is too short, and it feels like a lot of it is missing the boss fights don't feel like boss fights especially the first one Wich the game does it for you in a cut scene. The game it self is buggy and glitchy.

    I played this game on PC, and it runs very well; I encountered very few bugs, and it looks gorgeous. The sound is excellent, and the shooting is very fluid and fun.

    They alienated Saints fans with this dumpster fire PS2 looking attempt of a videogame.

    They replaced all the all the fun, boring and cringy characters that make you want to punch them in the face, a gun play worse than some ps1 games, Outdated physics systems and a miriad of bugs.

    Overall: Avoid this at all costs to show them what we really want.

    What isn't bad about this game? From Writing, graphics, story, characters, optimization...it fails on all accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if this game kills the franchise. This game should be a lesson for game developers on "what not to do". Ignore anyone giving this game high marks. There's a reason why this game did so poorly and caused its studio Volition to shut down...

I will give some credit to this game for it's pretty graphics, and lively atmosphere. While this reboot ultimately failed to be a decent reboot to a great series, it's visuals make it at least somewhat better.… Expand

    Que decepción de juego este, da rabia jugar un juego así. Los anteriores estaban bien pero este es malísimo. Mala optimización, mala jugabilidad, malos efectos y físicas, lo único medio bueno es la iluminación y como se ven los carros.
