    All things considered, Saints Row is a worthy reboot for the franchise. It’s not something that reinvents the wheel; it’s a pretty formulaic open world that comes with most of the genre’s trappings. But in the face of its fast and frenzied gameplay loop and varied mission designs, these gripes get reduced to minor inconveniences as you embark on a journey to become the biggest gang in Santo Ileso.    … Expand

    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

    After playing the game for a while and finished the story and still playing it it's still has few issues but this update made the game much better and people don't understand and you have to look thr older saints raw games like 1,2,3 and 3 remastered and this one was the best by far despite the issues but PEOPLE They HAVE A HIGH STANDARD FOR ANY GAMES AND you got to stop thinking this way

The game mechanics at first can be jarring and hard to get used to but once you have a flow going with the game you release there's tons of fun to be had with the game. The hand to hand combat feels half baked and at first the shooting for unauthentic and uninspired but once have and an Idea what weapons are best in what situations you start to have blast. The driving may feel floaty to some but after recently playing saints row 3 the driving feel just about the same as Saints Row The Third. This game has the vibes of Saints Row 2 and the gameplay of Saints Row 3. You can tell they took the time to give the world some love. I heard a lot of people say there no land marks in this game. Those people lied. The moment you start exploring the bridges and highways in this game will be more memorable that Saints Row 3, the building will be just as, if not more, memorable as Saints Row 2 building. The variety in the map is a much needed change to the Saints Row series. As far combat goes it feels a lot like Saints Row 3 but the addition of dodge rolling oddly feels right at home in a Saints Row game. The weapons range from mostly realistic to advanced tech. There's nothing to crazy in the weapon options. Pretty much just good old fashioned gun play with a hint of advanced weaponry. The writing admittedly needs work. It has its cringe moments but also some serious moments I wasn't expecting out of this game. A lot of time something happens in the story I'm asking myself how did we get here, why did we just do this, this is such a far leap from where we needed to take this. The same goes for dialogue. I'm asking myself who wrote these cringe lines, why is she talking to me like this, who would ever jump to this conclusion. It doesn't help that the voice acting isn't the best. When it comes to the missions I don't think they are as repetitive as people are saying. I did one string of side missions of my first 2 hours of playing the game and I never got tired of it. In fact I wish there was more of those mission. I will say story mission rely to much on cut scenes and some side missions have bad pacing either being to slow or going by to quick. The grind in this game is one of the best I've scene all year. Different vehicles and guns have perks to be unlocked through either killing certain types of enemies or doing an action a certain amount of times. The leveling up system is pretty lackluster with only 20 levels for you to grind through but the levels make good use of themselves. Offering you perks to equip, and more health. My biggest issue with the game right now is the glitches. I've been co-op with my brother and girlfriend and these glitches are horrible. I was ran over by my girlfriend and brother multiple times because the co-op player icon disappeared in the course of playing the game. It comes back if you die but admittedly if you're not facing down a horde of enemies it's hard to die. My brother has got himself stuck in cars, he's been unable to shoot, and he's been stuck the radio wheel. My girlfriend and I have had missions just completely glitch out on us. This game definitely needed a day one patch to say the least. Altogether I will say this game was $60 well spent. Sightseeing, wing suiting around with friends, being a hired gun on get away missions, racing from the desert to the city, gang wars, the most in-depth customization I've ever scene, the story (when it actually works), the variety in enemies, owning a taco truck, running into gas tanks and instead of exploding your car just goes flying like it did in Saints Row 2 and the hover board. I'm more than satisfied. I can not wrap my head around why this game is getting so much hate. Maybe this wasn't the Saints Row the world was like for but this sets the Saint Row franchise up to have another great peak. I'd say this is the second or third best game in the franchise. I hope this game gets great DLC, and an even better sequel. I want more of this style of Saints Row.… Expand

    A lot more fun than I expected. While the map isn't the biggest in the franchise, there is plenty to do and explore. I was concerned that this would lose the "charm" of the earlier entries but that Saints Row DNA is still there. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to using a tow line to turn enemy cars into wrecking ball behind my ride.

    Yes, the gameplay may seem dated, and it’s a very formulaic Saints Row game. There is no real surprises in terms of gameplay. If you’ve played a Saints Row game, you know what to expect. Missions might be repetitive, but no more so than any other game in the series.

    There’s definitely a wide variety of activities, and plenty of secrets to discover throughout the world. I had fun taking over districts, and discovering hidden things around the map.

    I enjoyed the banter between the main cast, and thought that the story worked well enough for a Saints Row titles. Yes, these are the characters that we got to know in love in the previous titles, but I definitely don’t have any issue with this group. The jokes didn’t all land, but I was definitely amused by things that happened throughout the story. I did have a few bugs pop up here and there, but nothing major. Mainly just vehicles bouncing into the air after hitting small objects, and a weird issue with the camera inside helicopters. The second issue was easily fixed with a reload.

    Overall, I had a blast driving around the city, blowing things up, and being social with my crew. The game may not be for everyone, but make your own judgment - don’t listen to everything you hear.    … Expand

It’s one of those rare games where I was hooked until there was little content left. Yes, I skipped the collectibles, I’m not a masochist. This. Is. Not. GTA. Saints Row never has been, and never will be. Saints Row is the movie you put on when all your mates come over just because it’s fun to sit, watch, and have a good time with. There is humour here. There is also a ton of irony, which, to be fair, I believe a lot of people mistook as ‘woke’ism. The story isn’t half bad (not that anyone should be here for the story!), and the gameplay loop is a ton of fun. There’s a lot to enjoy here. If you want an epic all out blockbuster affair then you came to the wrong place, and that’s your fault. If you want fun with a ton to do. This is your game. To the devs. Great job.

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.

    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.

    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 not terrible and it’s not great but it IS ENJOYABLE. My only faults would be enemy sponges and gunplay is bad but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. Enjoyable sandbox exploration. Serious with a touch of stupid. It’s a reboot not a remake. Not sure if half the reviewers even played it tbh.

    It feels like they tried to make it for everyone and didn't want to offend people with the dialogue and some of the gags. I did come into this game expecting another satire game but got something more similar to the of Saints Row 1 and 2 with a little satire to it.

    This game really feels like too many voices were involved in the creative process. The action-packed moments are fun to play. It is easy to play this game for hours but you might stop playing it and ask yourself "What's the point." The story isn't there so the other stuff had to be great in order for this game to be really good. Right now it's just enjoyable.

    Hopefully, they surprise us with a great satire DLC.

    Whoever was in charge of creating the moments and dialogue for Saints Row should be for the DLC. I would only recommend this to people that want something action-packed or loves character customization.

    So lets start here, the story has bad pacing and doesn't really introduce anything. But so did Saints Row 4, 3, 2, and 1. So I won't hold that against it. Since I've overlooked story problems before with better games. The characters and situations are eye roll inducing but so were the other Saint's Row games. Again this is a par for the course setting and take for this game series. I think people either forgot this part. The characters always felt kind of flat or uninteresting to me in the other games. I found plenty of bugs in them as well.

    The bugs don't compare with titles like Cyberpunk or Fallout 76. Or maybe even WWE2k20. Its very alright in terms of its effort and writing. The combat feels a bit dated and the late game isn't very impressive. But to give the game a 1 when that should be reserved for titles like Black Panther. Or games that are utterly broken and worthless.

    While I was hoping for a better game, I believe this is a middle of the road game. To understand why I gave it a 6, you need to understand. It takes a lot more for me to call this a bad game, its just underwhelming and that's it. Some jokes land and some don't, that's the same with every Saints Row.

    So if you enjoyed the past games, this is may be up your alley. I do suggest waiting until the bugs are fixed. Otherwise have a good one.    … Expand

    Геймплей однообразно-скучный просто невероятно.
    Оружия в игре много, но всю игру прошел с пистолетом-пулемётом "Томпсон", на последнем боссе ещё 8 раз из гранатомёта выстрелил, всё. Более мне ничего не пригодилось.
    Физика машин ужасна. Они могу летать по полю как голубиные перья.
    ИИ врагов отсутствует как таковой. Фишка полиции это врезаться в тебя со всего маха и тут же взорваться. Никакой мало мальской тактики в их действиях, да и вообще у врагов, я не заметил.
    Ещё на PS5 ужасный звук, мотора машин почти не слышно, звуки выстрелов похожи на майонезные шлепки. А музыка вообще в игре не играет, не во время боя, не во время сцен. Только по радио в машинах.
    Короче, во всей игре мне более менее понравился только сюжет. Для Saints Row очень даже не плохой.
    В общем, хотя конечно не хочется так говорить, но я даже рад, что Volition закрылась. Надеюсь серия Saints Row больше никогда не возродится и останется в нашей памяти в виде весёлой и бесшабашной четвертой части, которая даже сейчас играется намного веселее этого непонятного "ремейка" 2022го года.
    Ещё непонятно почему игра так дорого стоила в PS Store, да ещё и цена на неё не падала почти год. Попробовал её только в PS Plus. А так, Volition, надо было брать пример с Capcom, ведь они свои восхитительные ремейки никогда не продавали за full-price.

    Saints Row the reboot is a great game. I bought it yesterday at 1pm and have now been playing it for over 10 hours. There are some ai glitches here and there but so far nothing game breaking. The driving and shooting feel similar to most saints rows games of the past at least for me. It seems that everyone giving this game a bad review has forgotten what saints row was like before.

The driving and shooting feel similar to most saints rows games of the past at least for me. It seems that everyone giving this game a bad review has forgotten what saints row was like before. This game is fun and silly like the old ones but also with a serious undertone during the story. There's plenty to do in the world although it doesn't feel as big as the old saints row games it's still a fun experience to drive around and just blow **** up. If you loved the chaotic moments of the old saints rows then you'll definitely like this one. This game doesn't deserve all the hate that it's getting as it is still a great game. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from playing this game if you really want to. It's worth it to me at least so far. There's cool new abilities and cars even have specific challenges so that you can unlock uograded abilities for them as well. They may be annoying to unlock at times but they're definitely useful when running away from the gangs and cops at the same time. Bugs are going to happen in a game but the bugs don't hold this game back from being good and challenging even on the easier difficulties. Saints row is definitely worth trying out.… Expand

    Если во второй части концепт был крут, в третей миссия с самолетом (я до сих пор помню как рубился целыми днями). В 4 части, симуляция, борьба с пришельцами и общий веселый мир (я даже со стула помню упал потому что какая-то шутка меня взорвала), то тут ничего нет. Персонаж бегает по миру первые пару часов без какого-либо обоснования. А в сумме с теми проблемами которые есть включая малый размер карты. Сложность игры тоже смешная, на нормале в меня пулемет на машине стреляет и мне все равно.

Which is sad because Santo Illeso is beautiful. But it is just so damn shallow. Just like the game as a whole, its wasted potential.

    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.

The biggest elephant in the house that made Saints Row one of the most difficult games I’ve ever came across to is its horrendous storyline and godawful dialogue. Once the opening credits roll, you’ll see why this game is really that bad and I have no idea why the writers from Volition gave this a pass in QA quality inspection as it felt written by a retard. Saints Row 1, 2, and The Third did not have that, but the reboot’s depiction of today’s satire in political correctness during the modern-day America did not work at all. Saints Row looks graphically amazing, unfortunately, it’s a piece a crap that needs to be avoided at all costs.… Expand

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the story and completed all ventures. I was held back on trophy progress due to a bug that will no longer track most of my challenges. The game is littered with little bugs that are in no breaking the game but there are a few that may stagger progress. For example, losing access to inputs on the controller.

    A few weird design choices as well: first venture can be completed immediately after meeting a character but you will not get the full hourly pay increase(even though the game tells you that you have unlocked it) until after completing the story quest that unlocks ventures......

    The story was mediocre at best, but I enjoyed it enough to complete it. The characters were a bit eh and I probably wouldn't care for them at all without the very few character story side missions.

    Gameplay is repetitive, the aiming feels weird and recoil is extreme. Driving is OK but very bare bones. Explosions and over the top weapons are fun though.

    All in all it's an OK game at best and I probably won't jump back into it even after bug fixes are released.

I wanted to like this game, especially after I saw people review bombing it for being woke. I've played and loved every Saints Row game, even the first one, and after finishing this one I have to say it easily steals the spot of worst Saints Row game.

    I don't really care about preachyness and wokeness in video games unless it gets absolutely overwhelming and becomes the entire point of the narrative (Life is Strange 2), and I have to say I honestly didn't see much of that in this. Other than the main characters being a strategically multi-racial group of annoying millennial hipsters, that is, and I only even noticed that because all the angry reviews had me looking for it going in. People have mentioned the character creator, and they're right, its terrible. Its nearly impossible to make a female character that doesnt look transgender. I don't know why this is, but I doubt it's intentional since the creator is so bad compared to the previous games. This game isn't propaganda, its just bad.

    For one the shooting system is almost identical to the one in Saints Row 2 made over a decade ago. The guns give little feedback and are annoyingly unresponsive making the whole thing feel janky and unresponsive. This was fine in Saints Row 3 and 4 when there was a ton of outlandish weapons to keep your mind off it, but none of that is present here.

    The humor is bad. There are definitely some laughs to be had, the writing isn't completely terrible all the time, it does have its moments. But a lot of that will be lost if you don't pick one of the 2 good voices available for your character, both of which are female. The voices this time are just really bad. The masculine black guy voice that I built my character around in all of the games from 2 onward is now gone, replaced by this whiny high pitched voice that sounds like Urkel from that tv show and its just terrible. Thank god the game lets you reconfigure the entire appearance of your character whenever you want.

    The missions are ok, but they are repetitive and most of the open world activities are copies of the ones in previous games. This is fine, they are still a lot of fun, and the crazy over-the-top violence and explosions are still here, but lacking the humor of the first games. Sadly, the main story is nowhere near as creative as the original series, and it's also stupidly short, and heavily padded by requiring you to do busywork. For instance, in SR 2 dealing with the police anti-gang task force takes almost half the game, and its awesome. Here its just one mission, taking 5 minutes out of your day to intimidate an entire police force into submission.

    The villains actually had potential, but they squandered it by loosing focus and basically forgetting about them by the end of the game. They introduce an entirely new villain in the last mission of the game. I'm not joking there, they seriously invent a new villain for you to kill just to resolve this disaster of a story and it is even more stupid than it sounds.

    I don't know what happened here. There are some actually good ideas, like the new powers you get for leveling up. More grounded and practical than the ones in 4, the progression system could have been awesome but unfortunately they didn't add any more than that. Combine those skills with the stat buying system from 3 and 4 and this part of it would have come out great. Car and gun upgrading is breathtakingly simple, there are no specific upgrades you can get like in 2,3 and 4, just pump money into the gun to boost its stats. Boring as hell and way more primitive than the previous games. Its poorly optimized and crash prone (I had to restart it at least once every 4 hours, not enough to make me quit, but annoying), but no amount of extra development time would have fixed the problems evident in the gameplay and story.

    Despite the failure this game is sure to be, I hope they keep making SR games, but when they do, it needs to be another reboot. We can't have a direct sequel progressing out of this, there are a few likeable characters, but volition has shown before that they can do MUCH better than this.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    The game is somewhat fun and i don't care that the story is weak. My main issues are the world physics, driving dynamics, clunky controllers, audio and rendering distance. Cars spawning and respawning just Infront of me, audio not balanced at all, horrible shadows and the driving feels like the car is not even touching the ground. Also the AI is dumber than a rock..

    This game has received a lot of criticism in this first week, and I can see where a lot of it comes from. I got one have really enjoyed it! The customization is great, the world doesn’t feel soulless to me, and humor is completely subjective but I enjoyed it all! I recommend giving it a shot and keeping an open mind.

    As someone who plays saints row for the first time in my life I have to say i did now like it very much. I wanted to start the series but then i heard about the reboot so I decided to wait. I count not have made a biggest mistake. The humor is dull and kind of woke it is like amy schumer wrote all the jokes. Of course it had some good jokes in all of the campain but it was not worth it.As someone who plays saints row for the first time in my life I have to say i did now like it very much.

The humor is dull and kind of woke it is like amy schumer wrote all the jokes. Of course it had some good jokes in all of the campain but it was not worth it. The shooting and combat is absolutely terrible. The driving is just ok. The world is dull. Also a lot of mechanics feel like they are the worst version of other games for example driving is like mafia 3. 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.    … Expand

    Saints Row had chance to be something much more, if only the team behind the game tried to take a more bold and careful approach.

    he character creator still shines, but frustrating mission design and a disappointing plot make this reboot difficult to recommend. Far more sinner than saint. [Issue#19, p.92]

    A really, really fun experience that is getting sh*t on for no reason other than groupthink, herd mentality and people on the bandwagon.
