    This game was a let down to say the least. Its very repetitive and lacks any creativity. It’s physics and combat are both mechanically void. Do not buy! You’ll be bored in 2hrs.

Listen…… this is my first saints row game so I’m no expert on these games but this for me is by far the worst and most boring game I’ve played in a long time, Wtf are the main characters and story line? One second your a security guard and 2 days later your a leader of an aspiring criminal empire???? Yeah wottttttt and you do one mission with ya boi JR and the next day your ready to suck his toes and start a business with him? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m probably spent like 50k in game money on tattoos and nothing else you can beat the game with the starting weapons like brooooooooo I was hyped as fuq for this game bought it the day after it came out and now I just play it with a mate from work for **** and giggles cause there’s so much to laugh at. There’s nothing funny in the game it’s just so much fun to **** talk it. So for the love of god if anyone see’s this save ya dosh and wait another 10 years for the next GTA.… Expand

    Make a story actually worth enjoying and characters that aren't some cross combination of a crappy ABC and CW show. We told you what we want. We don't want YOUR take on Saints Row. We want the Saints Row that actually looked like it could compete with Grand Theft Auto.    … Expand

Co-op mode is completely broken, desyncs, crashes, missions not working....on top of that, the way the game transitions from cutscene to a 30 second gameplay sequence to another cutscene via 5 second long loading screens is not really fun. I will admit that I was wrong on this game when I thought it would be a flop because of its story. It's a flop because nobody bothered to finish the game.

    This game is a complete mess, its poorly storyboarded, poorly designed, poorly characterized, and is completely lazy in every single aspect.

    The radio stations are complete trash. no reggae AGAIN?
    The gameplay is worse than saints row: the third
    The characters are cardboard cutouts that are entirely characterized by the most surface level cliche they exemplify. These characters could be saved, but that would require a narrative team that actually cared for good storytelling. or rather, any storytelling.

    Why am I being told neena really cares about some piece of crap car that you never see before the relevant main mission? Why is the nerdy guy whos name escapes me nothing more than nerdy guy #454351? Why is kev a jersey shore stereotype?

    Where are all the cool weapons? where are all the fun activities? where is saints row? because it isnt here.

We don't get any backstory about how they formed, and    Wow, Volition keeps going downhill. This should have been a new IP -- not used the Saints Row name. Volition discarded everything good about the Saints, and tried to co-opt these cringey Gen Z kids into the franchise.

    Very poor writing, lame jokes, only filled with chatter about student loans, one-liners, and nothing of substance. We don't get any backstory about how they formed, and they do not fill the big shoes left behind from Gat, Shaundi, Pierce, Kinzie, and the rest of the old crew.

    The game was delayed 6 months for refinement, and it still releases with many bugs. NPCs doing t-poses, and enemies that spawn in ridiculous places, out of mission areas. Lots of the interactivity is gone from the open-world; you can't do many things as you could before in the previous games.

    Character creation is also missing lots of features, such as independent body sliders, hair options, no jiggle physics like in SR3/4, no different walk animations for men and women (it's all the same), and it's overall shifted to making ugly characters. Character faces are flat and not detailed.

    The main story is very short, the game is a ghost town. This was supposed to replicate Las Vegas (the city that never sleeps), but there's rarely any NPCs out. Compared to even it's previous games, the world is empty. The audio mix of the game is off, so some times the sound is really low. Man, there's just so many things wrong with this game.

    Go watch all the reviews on Youtube that point out all these problems, if you don't take any word here. It's all documented. Volition is playing scared; their recent string of bad games have made them super conservative, and afraid of taking risks, and it shows. Outdated gameplay design can't carry them any more, and they tried to jump aboard the Gen Z demographic, but really failed here.    … Expand

    The best thing about Saints Row 2022 is that it expertly exposes the shills for what they are. If after seeing the Xbox 360 era graphics, the bugs, the awful dialogue and gameplay worse than the original you still give it a good score. You’re either profoundly stupid or a sell out whore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a desaster of a game! The developers are basically pulling the whole franchise through the dirt with this.

    Short story, which is not really a story. It's what each one of us experienced in Kindergarten: Char A is hurting Char B, then helping this Char B, Char A then is betrayed by this Char B and then Char A fears everyone else is mad. THAT's it!

    Apart from the main story missions, you can do missions to make your companions stronger - which technically are only the 3 so why bother and build up Ventures in the city's districts, which also have 7-10 Missions to complete.

    Mission "design" is overly simple: Drive there, mostly fetch something - get rid of thugs, drive there to deposit. - Wrapped in a Tsunami of bugs. - Done.

    Those developers should go back to a game design class if they ever took one.    … Expand

    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.
