    I almost didn’t play this game because of the negative reviews from users. The game is not perfect, it has bugs and the story is laughable (almost in a cult classic bad way), but it’s one of the few coop campaigns that exist in 2023.

The opening mission is deceiving and the game opens up completely after you finish that. Try this game yourself, you might be in for a treat.… Expand

    Why so much hate? I had fun with this game, I guess people don’t like change and will hate anything that’s not the same as the same old thing they get all the time.

    Don't understand the hate one bit. This is one of the best games released so far in 2022. The writing is not on the level of RDR2, but I never expected it to be.

The new characters are actually interesting with deep backstories. The venture building can get a little repetitive, but not moreso than gaining respect in SR2 to continue the story. There are bugs, but not anywhere near as close to Cyberpunk or AC Unity I have not encountered a single game breaking bug throughout my time with he game. Overall if you're a Saints Row Fan new or old just ignore the haters and get this game.… Expand

Hands down, to put it simply, it is Saints Row 3 Remastered, again. It is the same game, in a way. I played 3-4 and this with the same custom boss which followed the voice actress (she is the same in all last games if you choose female voice 2) and it felt like a proper sequel. People forget in Saints Row 4 earth WAS DESTROYED and with Gat out of hell you did a hard reset on earth, so in a way, 5 makes sense, sorry, Saints Row 2022. The game is THE SAME as 3 remastered. The same grindy missions, the same endless killing, the same over the top set pieces, complete with a surreal one near the end which reminds us of the "housewife" matrix simulation in 4. What do I mean. Well, true Saints fans will understand. This game is a Saints Row game, from top to bottom. The same corny dialogues, being self aware, everything, along with the killing. The end battle is great, the showdown is great. This game is great. IF YOU KNOW SAINTS ROW. It is the SAME thing with the past ones. I honestly dont understand the reviews. The dialogue was ALWAYS like this. ALWAYS. These people make me wonder, have they EVER played a saints row? They think that is silly? Dude, Saints 3 ends with them being in a movie in mars.

    I found the game very fun and I don't understand why there are so many bad comments about it, the game is very fun and light, full of action, the type of game that doesn't take itself seriously but it works well. Very good graphics and performance, good soundtrack, interesting open world, lots of possibilities for character design and full of side missions. [Shooting, racing, flying and more]

    It's a very good game. The story is okay, some characters can be annoying, but overall it's good. The map is very large and contains many interesting activities, the city is also very detailed. The best aspect of the game is definitely building a criminal empire, buying real estate and fighting other gangs. I recommend! 9/10

    Santo Illeso is a very nice change of pace from previous maps, the large sprawling desert and varied locations are fun to explore and are well detailed.
    The characters, which everyone seems to hate, are no where near as bad as people say. They're likeable, fun characters that sometimes make a joke or two that don't work but I found myself liking them more than any previous Saints Row characters.
    The cars and weapons are fun to use and their customisation is unmatched, as is the main Boss. The amount of freedom you have when creating your character is incredible, especially after the most recent update improved compatability with various clothing items.

    The story could have been better (and longer), but I didn't hate it. I wish the other gangs were more fleshed out and their leaders were given more time though.

    Overall, this game has recieved way too much hate and all of these 0/10 reviews are skewing the user score and making this game seem way worse than it is.    … Expand

    I don't understand the haters. Yes, the game, in my opinion, is significantly worse than the previous one, but it's still good, very big, and very beautiful. It's a good game, not the best, but we can ride motorcycles and even use a sort of parachute, so it's quite comprehensive. Overall, it's a good game. The story might be a bit lackluster, but that's about it because the missions are perfect.

    Don’t listen to all the **** kiddies. This game is great. No idea why they are review bombing it. There’s plenty of foul humor and insanity just like past games. I guess the **** children won’t be happy unless women are suffering as much as possible in the game. Ah well, incels will never be happy.

    This game leans away from the eye-rolling wacky zaniness just enough so you can actually get into a slightly darker, more serious tone a bit while still enjoying the trademark hilarity of what makes a Saints game great.

    A lot of negative reviews about this one but as of writing (Jan 8 2022) it seems to be in a much better state. Still a few quirky bugs but far from game breaking or slowing down the fun in any way. Reminds me of playing GTA 5 online but without the annoying other players (no shade if thats your thing ). Id recommend the game to anyone who just wants to turn off your brain and play a video game.

    Now bugs, yes there are clearly bugs. BUT what I played was really not as tragic as some people put it, I don’t know if it was a bad early copy or not, but i didn’t encounter any real game breaking bugs, the most annoying bug i encountered was that the colors i set for some weapons would go back to default and blurry graphics.

    I hope Volition doesn’t give up, fixes the major bugs and brings great expansions. Under all the hate there is a good and fun game.

    And like I always say/do, never judge a game too hardly by its scores/ratings, it’s all mostly subjective.    … Expand

    Experienced some small bugs... nothing really crazy! The only thing i find annoying are the texture loading/distortions on the bridges in the game.
