    I've just got Platinum so I know what the game has to offer ! Truly the best game this year by far in terms of fun, really don't understand the hate it's getting. Deffo recommended

    Unfinished garbage.
    Even Saints Row 2 has better physics, a better story, and better characters. This reboot is a pile of trash.

    A refreshing return to the glory days of open world gangster games like GTA San Andreas and saints row 1. The characters are likable and funny but certainly more dry and subtle than older games. I'm about 15/ 20 hours in and while there are a few bugs nothing game breaking or even too distracting. I have found plenty to do and enough difference between activities to break up any monogamy.A refreshing return to the glory days of open world gangster games like GTA San Andreas and saints row 1.

I have found plenty to do and enough difference between activities to break up any monogamy. The world is a nice balance between big and open without being empty and huge for the sake of being huge. I have found something going on around almost every corner not necessarily something the player needs to react to, but if you wait and listen many will make you smile or chuckle to your self.… Expand

    Way better than what people are giving it credit for. Had a blast playing it with mi or hiccups from bugs along the way but overall still a really solid and fun game

    Yeah there are some bugs at launch but the past few years almost every game has had bugs on launch. Other then the bugs this game is pretty good and fun to play, reminds me of the SR3 days but more starting to build up your empire rather then being thrown into the leader roll

    I personally enjoy this game. Its not what saints row used to be don't get me wrong but if you separate it from the rest of the franchise, which is what they have tried to do (not very well). It is a very good game.

    I haven't run into any glitches that people keep mentioning/bringkng up.

    Overall I'm enjoying my time with it.

    Honest opinion on the new Saints Row from a die hard Saints Row fan: it's a lot of fun, seriously. Could it use some more polish? Sure it could. Could the graphics look a bit better? Well yeah. However, if you liked previous Saints Row games you'll like this one, and if you didn't then you won't.

It's crazy how ppl actually listen to critics, these critics over the last few years are so full of crap too. About the only ones who I've actually agreed with most of the time are Game Informer who actually gave it an 8.5. As far as the new characters and story go, I'm actually really digging it. I had a hard time getting off the game yesterday. So if you're a Saints fan, then give it a try.… Expand

    I am a saints row fan, I have enjoyed most of them. Even saints row 4 had some things that were good. This one is quickly becoming my favorite. It has laid a foundation for a great new series of Saints. I would give this game a 9 if the annoying bugs are fixed. Which will be anytime soon. Some of the bad reviews are just people upset that it's new people

    It's a Saint's Row game, don't really know what everyone was expecting. The story was a bit short, but all that really means is that I wanted more.

We all expect the next big thing, something to make our money go even further as times are tight. I get that, but, hating on a game, which not only damages the developers, and the industry overall is going to kill it for all of us. Objectively, this game is a solid 8. 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. I really, really hope you know that there are plenty of us out there that truly appreciate this game.… Expand

They should have waited a bit longer to release it and worked on fixing some issues but it turns into an enthralling game.

    I honestly believe 99% of the negative reviews are big babies on a hate bandwagon.

    The reboot is fun and I loved the new characters. The biggest issue with the game is the radio station. The second issue is the clothing I feel like they could have added more. I saw a few reviews claiming mission bugs but most of it was probably not knowing how the mission worked. I give it 8/10.

    Saints row has always been the wacky alternative to GTA. This game continues that trend. After the initial linear start of the game, you are off to start your criminal empire. This is where the fun begins. There is no shortage of activities to enjoy. Not without its bugs but plenty to do and a beautiful map to explore.

    This game is a brilliant masterpiece. The gunplay is even better than Saints Row 3 and 4. The missions are fun and replayable. The story is amazing with interesting and real dialogue. The characters are also well thought out. The physics are incredible. It's incredible that the devs are willing to only charge a mere $60 for this masterpiece

    There is so much to do in the open world. The customization in this game is biblical. The driving mechanics in this game are smooth as butter. Every car feels as powerful as a tank. The vehicle selection is the best in the series. The developers added a big lake in the middle of the city, just to make the city even grander. This game is incredibly funny, I could barely even control my laughter while playing! The controls are also biblical

    The co-op multiplayer is amazing and well made, me and my friends had so much fun playing it . The cowboy statue with the Pringles head has a awesome face on the cover of this game. I am going to keep this game in pristine condition. I would recommend this game to all!    … Expand
