    Let me start this by saying I have loved SR since the first game came out and have played each on release. This game is as good as SR3. Also, I have absolutely ZERO tolerance for woke garbage and that just doesn't exist in this game.eveey single person reviewing this game and saying its "woke" haven't actually played the game at all. Do not trust these review bombing weirdos.

    It’s looking good so far in terms of the missions, style and tone of the game. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new game to play.

    This is a great game. No it is not like the originals, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. The original story was obviously complete long before the 4th game. I have had a blast starting the Saints from the ground up.

    REAL SCORE: 7

    (Only giving this a 10 because clearly people are way too bothered by the story to even care about customization, wingsuit, driving, takedown animations and other things they got right. So it needs to be balanced like my bro Thanos says)

    I don't get why it's getting so much hate. The customization is awesome. The gameplay is smooth. The graphics are amazing and the story is cheesy but I love it.

    15 hours of play time. I’ve really enjoyed the characters, story, and setting overall. Have had a few small bugs but none too problematic!

    Can say if you enjoy the Saints Row series gameplay you’ll enjoy this. More of what you already loved.

    I’ve managed to get through most of the story, so I feel comfortable writing a review.

The tone is not quite as over-the-top ridiculous and wacky as The Third/IV were (though I loved them dearly for it), but doesn’t take itself quite as seriously as 2. This makes your time in Santo Illeso so addictive enjoyable whether you’re tearing through the story to get more time with the lovable cast of new Saints and other supporting characters, or just roaming the city looking for some trouble to get into. And there’s no shortage of things to get up to. Activities make their return in the form of “Criminal Ventures,” including old favorites (like my personal fav Insurance Fraud!) and some new ones, and give you plenty of ways to increase your influence and revenue stream. Additionally there are plenty of ambient activities, such as Hidden Histories, which gives the player a chance to learn more about Santo Illeso’s in-game history as well as pick up a few Easter eggs along the way ;).

    I haven’t run into any of the technical difficulties others are talking about, but I also haven’t been trying co-op or anything like that. Hopefully it’ll get patched up and into a playable state for everyone soon. The driving is okay—some of the vehicles don’t handle that great and there isn’t an off-roading option for everything (which as someone who mainly drives motorcycles, not a huge fan of). The wingsuiting controls are not very intuitive or smooth once you do get the hang of them. Minor nitpicks on an otherwise great game that’s been a lot of fun so far.    … Expand

    The game is fun for what it is. It had a rough start.

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

    I haven't tested the latest patches that has more than 200 bug fixes.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.
