    Bad graphics, empty world and to many bugs. The game is way to repetitive. Didn't like the characters and the story is very bad. You don't even wanna give this game to your worst enemy!

    It was clear to me from the trailer this was going to be bad but despite my misgivings I wanted to give it a go given how much I liked the previous versions. But almost everything about this game spits in the face of previous games.

    Starting from the character creator that where not only is it there very few options to customise how you want to look but apparently there is no easy way
    It was clear to me from the trailer this was going to be bad but despite my misgivings I wanted to give it a go given how much I liked the previous versions. But almost everything about this game spits in the face of previous games.

    Starting from the character creator that where not only is it there very few options to customise how you want to look but apparently there is no easy way to choose if you are male or female because that obviously offend some blue haired wack job that was never going to play the game anyway.

    All the characters in this are annoying prats that I wanted to die. There is nothing of the style, glamor or larger then life appeal that the other games in the series had. The men are either total wimps or fat lumps and none of the women are attractive.

    If you want a fun game stay away from this and go play Saints Row 3.

    This is what happens when you worry about being "Woke" and pushing an agenda more than building a quality game. Where do I even begin?

    Convinced that the positive reviews are from Volition employees. This is yet another unpolished bugfest of a game that needed more time in development. The fact we can’t get 4k60 on ps5 is plain embarassing, and don’t even get me started on the pop in. The story was bare bones, too short and the characters were nothing in comparison to the old games.

    Too much preco was not delivered. Just DeepSilver's charade of making the pc game release exclusive on their platform 4 hours before delivery, to sell Notorious packs at $90 has put me off.
    I was able to test the game for a few hours on Ps and it calmed my hype.
    I put a zero point to DeepSilver and a place in my list of game publisher to boycott. I'm fed up with all their ****

    Worst Saints Row to date - And 4 was hard to beat on that account! The game has no soul. It is incredible borring and the characters is so irrelevant. I actually don't mind a few bugs, if the game I plays is good and interesting, but this isn't. It is many years since I was so disappointed with a new game. The game franchise is ruined.

    Making a game about gangs without any gangsters was apparently a bad idea, go figure. Maybe if they ignored everything Anita Sarkeesian told them, or did the opposite of, they might've made a decent game. Nope, they had to make Saints Woke, with copy/pasted combat and gameplay systems of previous titles. In that regard alone I probably could recommend the title.

    Us saints row fans asked volition to listen to us, to go back to the og sr1-2 roots and actually make a decent game, the devs told us to go away.
    This game is broken, lacks depth with npcs, cant rob stores, the vehicles undersides look WORSE than a 2008 game.
    They went to massivly appeal to tik tok gen z and this backfired massively and this is politics aside.
    The saddest part is, santo ileso the city has so much potential, the desert has potential, the car damage models are amazing (scratched paint marks etc)
    but all the minor positives are massively overtaken by all of the negatives. and boy oh boy the game is 99% abysmal at best.
    when will game companies understand majority of gamers want old school games and quality, gen z just wants fortnite low quality dopamine hits. and dopamine hit games flop.

    edit- i still cannot get myself to even complete the game, i have been gaming since 1998 and ive had my fair share of bad games, and you as a gamer can tell if the devs put in some love, soul and effort in a bad game, i can overlook alot in a bad game and still find some hope and light if you will. THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. honestly it really is and im more sad than mad at this point because they had an opportunity to bring a classic series back to relevancy in the open world crime genre, since you know, R* milked gta v for the past 10 or so years.

    The frame rate is absolutely ridiculous with constant stuttering, even when you’re just walking around slowly

    One of the worst running games I have ever seen.

    The world is completely dead, empty and lifeless with no interiors no realism just completely lifeless Worst gun play I have ever witnessed it doesn’t even feel like the bullets are connecting. Doesn’t feel satisfying again feels like shooting in an iOS game.

    Some of the worst driving again I have ever experienced overly stiff heavy driving. You can’t even turn a corner with a decent angle. Now to the story, which is absolutely terrible and woke without forgiveness because gangsters really go larping Don’t they. and then to rub salt in the wounds. After about 10 missions. The whole game is over there is no building of the story you literally do 10 or so missions, and then the end credits roll. Hands down by far the worst game I have ever played in my entire life doesn’t even score 1 out of 10 I highly advise against playing this game. It is the worst experience in game in I have ever had

    I was a saint row fan since SR1 ,but the reboot 2022 is really really disappointed, main story is way too short and boiling. Tons of tons of bugs. What a shame it really is a terrible game. I’ve half finished the game and decided to delete that game and put it on the 2nd hand market tomorrow. I’m a bit upset, I expected this game for a long long time, but it really crap.

    Thanks for ruining the Saints Row franchise. I don't know where to begin with writing an actual review here because I found absolutely no redeeming features of this game.

The devs spat in the face of fans of the series and released a game none of us wanted, that had none of the spirit of Saints Row, and they used money from the sales of Saints Row 3 remaster to do it. When the trailer dropped and everyone commented that they'd prefer to play as the gang in orange in the trailer, as opposed to the gang of Twitter hipsters that the devs had made, that told you all it needed to. That initial reaction was 100% correct. Sadly. Another great decision from the 2023 school of thought - let's reinvent something that nobody wants reinventing, instead of giving people what they've literally told us they want. Expand

    Take out 99% of what made the previous few Saints Row games great and this is what you're left with. Overpriced boredom incarnate. Also, if you plan on streaming this and use the "avoid copyrighted music" feature, get ready for a lot of silence. It just turns off all the music stations leaving you with nothing.

Ok yesterday I started to play online and to me if I pay for a game I should be able to whatever I want. I was playing with this rando and it’s a girl. My character is girl but I was full nude with the bottom censored and the top shows everything. She asked me nicely put some clothes on I said no. She said if I don’t do as she asked bc she was highly offended she was going to report me for promoting pornography. She screenshot my characters and reported me to Microsoft bc she felt highly uncomfortable and offended on me being nude. Microsoft suspended my account and I had to fight to tooth and nail to get my account back bc it wasn’t my fault. I asked for my refund bc this game sucks and I can’t even be nude without feminist and sensitive people getting offended about my character. The gave me my refund and restored my account. The point of why I am arguing is simple if your a feminist or someone who is too sensitive don’t get this game. This game isn’t for people under 18 and it’s certainly not for people who are too sensitive about a video game. There was no reason why my account gotten suspended. The game was meant to play like that. So I am blame deep silver studios bc they should have a filter and say Join NSFW 18 co-op. I also blame the parents who bought this game for their kids and thought it was Minecraft and then they complain on social media saying this game should be banned bc it has nudity and pornography. No idiot you shouldn’t be a parent in the first place buying your kid a M rating game. Expand

    It's pretty bad. The idea of Saints Row itself has been gutted in favor of an entirely different game. Why not just make your own game if you hate the original so much? Oh yeah, they did it because they know they can rig search engines by using an old, honorable name for their trash. You owe me a refund.

    Back in The Days When I Picked a Saints Row CD From the Local Game Shop I never knew I'm gonna experience one of the Best Open World Game That Ever Made . i Played This one After Gta 4 and I Still Prefer Saints row 2 over Gta 4 ( Except TBOGT version ) . The NPCs felt They are Alive . They will Communicate to You , They Will Compliment Your clothing, few of em will Hate You few idolise youBack in The Days When I Picked a Saints Row CD From the Local Game Shop I never knew I'm gonna experience one of the Best Open World Game That Ever Made . i Played This one After Gta 4 and I Still Prefer Saints row 2 over Gta 4 ( Except TBOGT version ) . The NPCs felt They are Alive . They will Communicate to You , They Will Compliment Your clothing, few of em will Hate You few idolise you , They Talk About Few Events From the Story Missions , There are cheer girls practising their moves , peoples do Yoga , they take Taxis , peoples go to laundry and engage to various activities , clowns , musicians , lawyers, lovers, doctor and nurses , patients , prisoners , peoples play Rock Paper Scissors peoples crying at the graveyard and the sky diving guy who will fell into the grave and die . there beautifully animated are Bees , flies , butter flies , dragonflies mutated fishes ( Coz they throw Nuclear waste to water ) skeleton of Ness Monster and a Alive Baby Ness Monster .

    and the map was well made , there are enterable airports , shopping mall at the air port , Mega Giant Shopping Mall in another place , functioning Nuclear Power Plant with functioning Dock , Big prison , Police Station, DJ Bars, Hospitals, Secret Caves , Secret Building of a Creepy Drug Cult and they are selling Human organs and more .

    The Map is Not Only Diverse it was a living open world . If we Move to The Story Part it is Cherry On The TOP . The Antagonist Had Character Arcs same as The Protagonists . There are 3 Gangs and a Corporation called Ultor . Sons of Samedi is the Creepy Drug Dealing Gang they have a little weak side of story but Missions related to em are so Good , Remember Trevor's Sticky
    Bomb Missions in Gta 5 They Steal it from one of Samedi Missions . and Killing one of The Gang Member will haunt you Rest of the game . coz radio stations are its finest in Saints row 2 ,unluckily that Gang member happens to be the Radio jockey . after his death the radio gets owned by an Artificial intelligence which sounds terrible .
    The Other Yakuza Gang ( Ronin ) Struggles with Father son Relationship and Trust me You will feel bad for Them way before you are burying one of of em alive , their Missions are straight From Japanese action movie katana fights , samurais on bikes , blowing this **** out , collapsing building and skydiving damn.

    next one is brotherhood , this gang is basically you are fighting with another your self . it is so Intense so personal there are so emotions on both side it felt great . and there are 4 different combat style .

    the Ultor is some next level @@@@ im not spoiling here experience it your self .

    a part from missions you can buy properties , Work as a Taxi Driver , Body guard of a celebrity , as a medic . fire fighter and a Cop . it had the perfect blend of realism and over the top fun . all of the time i played as the default boss from the trailers so character creation is not a thing for me .

    back in 2006-2008 volition pulled a Gta Rival with That Budget , just imagine what they can do in future if it had a better funding .

    YEAR 2022 -- The Game is So Bad and I cant Get a Refund From Epic Games

    the story is -69/10
    characters -100/10
    Gangs 2/10
    map 6/10
    pedestrians 1/10
    side activity 3/10
    combat 1/10 it is so bad
    gunplay 2/10 i haven't played some thing horrible like this for years

    as i said I'm not a fan of character creation in saints row games they out did here , in other worlds they spent all resources on character creation , LGBTQ Rainbow flags and clothing and it reflect that . i would have loved if it had the capability to export these models into Maya/Blender ( Why not Fully Rigged models for a Reasonable Price ) .

    hey Volition you cant make good games you are proving it for almost a decade , Just Step Down The Business and Make Custom Character Creator Blender / Maya / Unreal Users . ill but even it is Yearly Subscription .

I loved the original games however this game is nothing like them in any way that would make it redeemable. Even looking at this game in a vacuum it is still a horrible experience filled with boring/ unlikeable characters and story, surprising alright gameplay (which is heavily weighed down by bugs) and a vast and empty world which offers minimal amounts of fun to explore. IMO the biggest problem with this trash product is the characters. The main cast is what you’d find at a Starbucks at 3 PM on a Sunday complaining about the most recent person who was canceled on twitter. They are unlikeable and honestly more importantly, excruciatingly unfunny. Saints row has had unlikeable characters in the past (Josh Burk) who you never hated as they were at least funny. The main cast isn’t even the greatest concern however, as every character is bland and boring, especially the rival gangs who offer nothing interesting to gangs in the past (you know you’ve messed up when Saints Row 1 had more interesting gangs and 2 of those gangs were almost completely forgettable). Overall do not play this game. Spend your money on anything other than this. Added note: no, even if they fix the bugs my best score would be a 2 out of 10. Fixing the bugs would minimally effect how awful this game is. Expand

    Ah i remember when games were innovated, fun, creative, and didn't care about the media and soccer moms crying.
    Here i will list everything wrong with the game.

    Story: Completely a waste of your time, a bunch of soy-boy twitter users acting like gangsters (Not real gangsters) attempt to pay off their student loans and debts while clumsily building their incompetent empire. The dialog is some of THE worst written I have ever heard from my 20 years of gaming. The writers certainly have a boner for hating anything capitalism or the idea of making money, and its certainly annoying and unbearable. Which is Ironic, since that's the main point of the game.

    Gameplay: Watered down, shooting bullet sponge enemies is boring and repetitive, useless collecting and a buggy mess of a game that gives cyberpunk a run for its money. Nothing new is added and it feels like they just took saints row 3's engine and clumsily just copied and pasted it in this game while not checking for bugs, glitches, and crashes.
    Open-world gameplay for this game specially shows how aged it is and how boring it has become. There is literally nothing to behold in this game and GTA5 has more stuff to do then this.
    Rag dolling is just out of place and out of control, nothing obeys the rules of the world or reality.

    Sound: Decent, but again, the dialog is just some of the worst i have ever laid my ears upon. Don't have anything to say about this, guns go shoot shoot, explosions go boom.

    Overall: Please, do not buy this game, for any system, I have already refunded mine, and I highly suggest anyone who had to sit through this train-wreck do the same. This game is not saints row, and to the people who made it, quit making games, you clearly have no idea how to make a game, stick to activism where you belong.

    GTA 6 will also meet this fate, don't pin your hopes in that either.
