    Worst game of the year, horrible physics, bugs, lots of bugs. The game bugs almost finishing 15/20 min mission and you have to start all over again, repetitive and boring missions. Worst game of the year!

    Obviando el tema técnico y de rendimiento en el que claramente no está a la altura de 2022.
    El juego es muy divertido y disfrutable, tiene puntos muy fuertes como el diseño de la ciudad que es impresionante y la variedad y cantidad de actividades originales.
    Argumentalmente es gracioso y ameno como una película de comedia.

    Let there be a notice for all game developers, you need to stop with the "woke" sh*t and start making us games that are actually FINISHED. this game is buggy as it can be and the frame rate is horrible.
    I do hope they recall everything because this game is terrible.

    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.

    for an open world gangster game in 2022, you cant steal from shops, you cant even gamble and there are multiple casinos, the characters are awful, the missions are repetitive, and the games still has problems even on new gen consoles. do not buy it and if you do pls wait until for updates and discounts, this garbage is not worth full price

    Let me start off by saying, I don’t expect a great story and loads of outstanding dialogue from a Saints Row game. I’ve played every one and while I do enjoy all of them, I mainly play them for some stupid fun after work. This one feels like a Saints Row game, which is great… however it does lack variety in mission structure (both main and side) much more so than other games.

I play this co-op and we've had a lot of laughs from the characters in the story and the game itself is very fun. What I like most about it. Is that it has dinar vibes to Saints Row II and The Third before it got really silly. I still played IV and Gat Out of He'll but they weren't that good overall, so I for one am glad to see they've reverted back to driving being more necessary than just jumping really high and essentially flying.

    I'd give this an 8.5/10 but marking as 10 because people giving it between 0-3 on purpose is a disgrace. Even games I strongly dislike I would always rate fairly.    … Expand

    This is indeed the worst saints row game of them all. It is so bad I decided to write my first review.

    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.

    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

    When Volition revealed the Saints Row reboot, I was ecstatic.

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

Maybe take a look in the mirror and try not hire people like @DeadlySteph who attack fans calling them "terrorists". Learn from your mistakes. Don't let woke people in to spread poison
