    Se já não bastasse a lacração o jogado ainda é todo capado, piadas sem graça e gráficos dignos de PS3. A empresa deveria ter vergonha de lançar essa droga

    Absolutely boring gameplay, terrible writing that focused more on pushing an agenda instead of delivering a story and extremely buggy.
    This game made me appreciate the original Saints Row games.

    Sadly, I cannot rate this game on Epic Store where I bought the game. Sadly, I actually did buy this game... as Gold Edition... Yes, I am an idiot.

    This is indeed the worst saints row game of them all. It is so bad I decided to write my first review.

    The story is extremely bad, but luckily the story line is short, but the game forces the player to repeat extremely boring tasks just to be able to start some of the missions.

    Previous Saints Row games were way more fun with a friend, but sadly that feature wasn't even stable here. I have no idea if they have fixed that today, since I completed the game solo, but my saint-friend gave up on the game but couldn't refund it due to us trying for too many hours to get co-op running stable.

    And to have NPC body-shaming you when being shirtless or naked, white people puke when they see a shirtless black person, pukes in front of my transgender boss... I guess DeadlySteph, DeepSilver and Volition approves such public behavior.

    The graphics are far from impressive in 2022, even compared to previous Saints Row titles.

    I honestly only hope that this game has proven to the future development of games that we will never see games like this again.

    What good can I say about this...

To me the first trailer had captured my attention because up until that point, Volition had never steered me wrong, as I was even a fan of Agents of Mayhem. I defended the reboot for ages. And then it came out. Instead of a story of characters growing into gang leaders and undergoing development, what we were given was a horrible joke of a Saints Row game. It was as if the very heart and soul of the series had been ripped out from it, leaving behind the basic barebones shell of what a Saints Row game could be, instead opting to fill in the rest with some Millennial caricatures that do not change or grow at all over the course of the game and repeatedly made me pause the game to sigh over the absolutely abhorrent writing. The missions are lackluster, the dialogue is absolutely laughable, the radio selection is just downright bad (are you kidding me? No 80's music?) and the removal of staple gameplay features that had been in the series since the first game is just a shame.

    I wanted this game to succeed so badly. I wanted Volition to show that the Saints were still able to be just as wacky and serious when need be. They told us this would be a mixture of Saints Row 2 and The Third, my two personal favorites in the series, but instead they sold us an incomplete mess devoid of any creativity and magic that made those games what they were. Santo Ileso is a beautifully crafted place, I adore it and wish that they had done so much more than what we were given. Because as it stands, we have a big sandbox with tons of customization, but what's the point of all of that if we're just given TWENTY FIVE main missions. A laughable 25 missions, none of which have any of the spectacle or depth or gravity that ANY of the missions in any of the past Saints Row games have had.

    Saints Row 2022 just goes to show that the games we loved are nothing more than a means to an end in today's landscape. I worry for the future of games.

    Words cannot describe how bad this game is. Worse money spent on a game. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Buy any other Saints Row game but this one. Not funny, combat system sucks, dumbass glitches. Which for a game that was delayed why is there glitches? Horrible writing. Just don't buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Possibly the worst game of 2022. I have never played a game that gave me physical pain and is a insult to the saints row series. the story was horrific and the ending was just bad and rushed garbage. The characters are extremely bad and they are forgettable and just several pieces of paper. they said the open world was going to be alive but they were lying, the open world is even more bland then Stillwater. The gameplay was awful, the shooting feels spongey and the gameplay overall is awful. Overall, the game is the worst game I've played this year and it makes Saints Row IV And Gat Out of Hell look like masterpieces. I do not recommend this game, even if you are a fan of Saints Row Expand

If I hadn’t known anything about the game beforehand and someone told me it was a remaster of a game from 14 years ago, I would believe them based on design and gameplay.

    Sanitized characters with very little humor and the whole thing just felt like a bunch of boomers and older Gen X’ers trying to write what they thought would appeal to millennials and zoomers. Student loans, yadda yadda yadda, late stage capitalism, yadda yadda yadda, evil imperialist corporation… If the Steve Buscemi “how do you do fellow kids” scene/meme were a video game, this would be it.

    Driving and shooting is janky af, the vast majority of missions are just “go here, pick up thing, bring it back”, even the main story missions. The “gang building” is but a pale imitation of the first two SR games. Visually the game looks like something from mid-last gen only with volumetric fog and heat distortion effects for the hell of it -- but there's nothing here that can excuse the game's absolutely awful performance. Unstable frame rates, copious frame drops, stutters, extreme texture pop in, missing textures, the list goes on. And the list of bugs I encountered, many minor, some gamebreaking, would be too long to type.

    26 hours played to reach 100% completion and I only bothered because I didn't have anything better to play at the moment. I cannot recommend this game, especially not to Saints Row fans. This is a dumbed down, forgettable, "politically correct" version of the Saints and it feels like a game the original Saints Row would have absolutely pilloried. Saints Row 4 accurately predicted this with their parody signs reading: "REBOOT IS DEATH". This is, indeed, the death of a once fun franchise. Rest in Peace, Third Street Saints.

    If mediocrity is your thing, then look no further. This reboot follows a standard open-world action game template while eschewing most of the wild sense of humor and chaos that made its predecessors (in)famous. Not a "bad" game after several patches, but it remains difficult to recommend at full price.

    Sometimes I wonder whether some games exist only just to wash money...
    I have played all the SR games and this is probably the worst one because of incredibly huge ammount of neglection and ignorance. It's practically a joke, as if the developers didn't know what the gamers really want.
    I'll tell you what we surely don't want: 1. another game that looks like a sad caricature of any GTA

    I'll tell you what we surely don't want:
    1. another game that looks like a sad caricature of any GTA game so far
    2. another copy of SR game with changed dialogues, but same voices
    3. unrealistic driving - hit the brakes in your real car as fast as in the game then go and smack the guy responsible for steering cars and bikes in this game
    3. as usual: no walk button on PC, every movement is way too fast - it really looks like an arcade game for mobile phones
    Good things I really like are: character creation and that it's possible to change your character body and appearance any time as well as quite good voice acting, sound engineering and solid cut-scenes. Also: model behaviour (although too fast movement is a pain)
    All in all, I deeply regret how this game turned out. There are almost no alternatives to GTA, which is stagerring, based on how many people like this kind of games. One of the only rivals of GTA present a game which is incredibly shallow. The question remains: WHY?

    This game is a terrorist attack on creativity and legacy. Not only on this franchise but on the whole game industry. Bugs can be fixed so they are not included in this rating. But the bad game design and censure are not fixable. Teach people to deal with the world - not make the world boring for everybody just to not hurt these peoples little feelings.

    This game is not Saints Row it is a woke progressives fever dream. You never really get to do gang stuff. You are more the get away driver than anything meaningful. The quests are just glorified step n fetch it missions. This game re-woke, watered down, broke or abandoned everything that made a Saints Row game any good.

    Remember, this game was delayed from January to August. There is literally no reason to play this game. The gameplay isn't fun, the visuals are worse than the previous game Saints Row The Third. The story makes no sense and you never end up caring about any of the main characters. The guns feel like toys. I somehow managed to play 3 hours of this nightmare and that's 3 hours too long.

    the only good thing is character creation and customization, but since it was always this good i can't praise it much cause all they had to do is not change it and they did.

    This is intended to be a reboot of Saints Row, basically. And it's somehow worse in just about every area to the OG Saints Row! A game that came out in 2006! Even graphically somehow. This game looks better, but in motion, it looks like complete trash. Also; this is yet another open-world game with a nice, big map that is virtually empty.

    Terrible game, terrible devs. Also; whoever thought it was a good idea to add bullet sponge enemies to *this* extent in a Saints Row game? You're dumb as hell. Thx.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Qu'on soit clairs : Si vous souhaitez acheter ce reboot de Saints Row en pensant avoir un vrai héritier des opus précédents entre les mains, passez votre chemin.

    Du Gameplay à l'histoire le jeu tient tout sauf ses promesses, On pense diriger un gang quand en réalité on a l'impression d'être le gérant de la MJC du coin.

    Niveau Histoire, tout est sujet à rigolade, ici , vous ne trouverez aucun évènement aussi marquant que ceux de Saints Row 2 ou 3. Les membres fondateurs du groupe ont plus la dégaine d'acteurs de sitcoms des années 2000 que de vrais gangsters. Et même dans le peu de quêtes qu'offrent le mode histoire, il n'y aura qu'une ou deux missions qui seront vraiment mémorables. Mot qui d'ailleurs, est tout le contraire de l'ensemble des personnages que vous allez croiser dans le jeu.

    Concernant le gameplay, honnêtement je ne saurais par ou commencer :
    - Les NPCs ont encore que deux réponses en tête quand ils vous voient : fuir ou tirer pour les plus braves d'entre eux
    - Les multiples bugs qui vous font sortir de la map ou qui vous bloquent sur des missions du mode HISTOIRE
    - La physique des voitures, car bien qu'elles soient assez agréable à conduire (j'ai bien aimé les drift en Raycaster), elles restent sacrément horribles à prendre en main à partir du moment ou vous utiliserez un grappin pour attacher un autre truc à eux
    - Le système de BARRE DE VIE ??!? Dans un jeu OPEN WORLD, Sérieux ?? C'est insupportable de devoir vider 2-3 chargeurs pour un seul ennemi

    Alors bien sur vous pourrez toujours modifier la résistance des ennemis, ou bien même masquer les barres de vie des voitures/ennemis, ça reste un ajout assez plaisant, mais de ce j'ai pu tester ça rendra le jeu soit trop facile, soit trop dur.

    Malheureusement je ne pourrai pas vous parler de mon expérience sur la Co-op parce que déjà je n'ai nullement l'envie d'imposer ce semblant de "jeu" à mes proches, mais aussi parce que je vois pas l'intérêt de visiter une map aussi vide et sans intérieur qu'on soit deux ou pas.

    Donc si vous souhaitez jouer en espérant avoir un Saints Row 2,3 voire au pire du pire 4, vous vous trompez gravement.
    Par contre vous souhaitez jouer à un jeu finissable assez rapidement, avec une bonne customisation de personnages vous allez trouver votre bonheur (si le jeu ne crash pas toutes les 4h ).

On the plus side the graphics are not the best but are quite good, there are not any microtransactions and i have encountered almost not bugs.
    For me is not worth paying.

    I've been a fan of Saint's Row since the beginning of the franchise. I love that the game is the 'toned down' version of GTA because I can't stand all the n-word this, n-word that BUT this new installment definitely is NOT Saint's Row. Why? Because the characters are mostly flat, the stakes are boring, and the wild, nutty stuff from the previous games is completely absent!

    I played the game on Xbox so I didn't have any buggy moments that interfered with the game but I by 1/4 the way through, I was finding the missions to be repetitive and the side-quests were just so-so.

I've seen writing that far surpasses the entire script of this video game written by high schoolers. A month later and the game is still a buggy mess.

    This "game" is an unfinished mess. There is very few good things about this "game", one of them being is the funnest part of the game, the refunding option. This game tries to hard to not offend anybody, it's like saints row 2 made for gen z. If you want to make your fans excited, maybe don't add "horse balls" and ignore the fans.

    I actually borrowed Saints Row from my local library, and even though it's "free" and has received several updates since the launch, I am finding myself struggling to like it.

    For the most part, the gun-play is pretty solid, and there's some awesome moments (mainly story missions) that feel satisfying, and engaging. However, I strongly dislike the fact that there's no dedicated cover
    I actually borrowed Saints Row from my local library, and even though it's "free" and has received several updates since the launch, I am finding myself struggling to like it.

    For the most part, the gun-play is pretty solid, and there's some awesome moments (mainly story missions) that feel satisfying, and engaging. However, I strongly dislike the fact that there's no dedicated cover system. Instead you press down on the d-pad to "duck" and try to find cover in throughout the environment, which just feels arbitrary and tacky. Luckily your character is built like a sponge, and you can take many hits, but it downgrades the experience knowing you can stand there and take a lot of hits before you need to run around a corner and recover health. I also don't like how you can't switch your down the sights aiming from left to right shoulder. It is perpetually locked to the character's right shoulder, and there are times you really wish you could swap shoulders and perspectives in the process.

    The biggest offender for me though the HUD. I wish it had options to choose what you want displayed, or at least resize the HUD and/or move it closer to the corners of the screen. It's too invasive, and often times smack in the way and blocks your ability to see when you're driving to a destination. Playing a mission that involves driving to your destination? There's a HUGE circle icon on the horizon that sits squarely in your peripheral vision, making it difficult to see oncoming traffic and even road hazards.

    Also, the world that Volition created tries hard to be memorable, but it falls flat on its face. Everything feels bare, devoid of any excitement or strong attention t details, and the NPCs are beyond lame with their dreary ho-hum thoughts they say out loud. Everything just feels so cliche.

    I am glad I didn't pay actual money to play this game, but that I was able to give it a shot and see if it was for me. It's not, and I actually turned it off after about 10-12 hours since it simply never got any better, and felt like a chore to play.

    I'm looking forward to other open world games we're getting this year. Hopefully they don't disappoint like Saints Row.

    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.
