    I almost didn’t play this game because of the negative reviews from users. The game is not perfect, it has bugs and the story is laughable (almost in a cult classic bad way), but it’s one of the few coop campaigns that exist in 2023.

    Даже не знаю как сказать. Короче, лучше Saints Row 4 в этой серии ничего не было.
    А так имеем довольно посредственный боевичок, наряду с Watch Dogs: Legion, Crackdown 3, Just Cause 4 и прочими поделками аля GTA style. У последних хотя бы свои фишки имеются, с Saints Row всё совсем грустно.

    Начну с графики и она родная сестра таковой из Prototype 2.
    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. Если бы вы поступили так же, да ещё старания чуть больше вложили, может сейчас бы ваша студия и не почила в Бозе!

    Worst experience in a long time, the game is absolutely garbage and you would think that at least they would be able to top their around 10 year old games, but somehow they managed to make a game that seems like it came out before their old games, and even a year after the release of the game it’s still almost unplayable on all platforms, i for the life of me cannot imagine how so manyWorst experience in a long time, the game is absolutely garbage and you would think that at least they would be able to top their around 10 year old games, but somehow they managed to make a game that seems like it came out before their old games, and even a year after the release of the game it’s still almost unplayable on all platforms, i for the life of me cannot imagine how so many people can be so blind and not see what a big failure it was before releasing it, the idea alone for this game should have been cancelled before anything, but the worst part is definitely the lack of either dedication or experience because these developer’s clearly don’t even know how to program/code basic aim controls and is publicly acting like spoiled kids on social media when called out on anything bad related to their game and claims that anyone who dislikes their ip is in the wrong, truly sad to see how nowadays some people can call themselves developers and create and massive ip like this and then fail so miserably.

The new characters are actually interesting with deep backstories. The venture building can get a little repetitive, but not moreso than gaining respect in SR2 to continue the story. There are bugs, but not anywhere near as close to Cyberpunk or AC Unity I have not encountered a single game breaking bug throughout my time with he game.

Hands down, to put it simply, it is Saints Row 3 Remastered, again. It is the same game, in a way. I played 3-4 and this with the same custom boss which followed the voice actress (she is the same in all last games if you choose female voice 2) and it felt like a proper sequel. People forget in Saints Row 4 earth WAS DESTROYED and with Gat out of hell you did a hard reset on earth, so in a way, 5 makes sense, sorry, Saints Row 2022. The game is THE SAME as 3 remastered. The same grindy missions, the same endless killing, the same over the top set pieces, complete with a surreal one near the end which reminds us of the "housewife" matrix simulation in 4. What do I mean. Well, true Saints fans will understand. This game is a Saints Row game, from top to bottom. The same corny dialogues, being self aware, everything, along with the killing. The end battle is great, the showdown is great. This game is great. IF YOU KNOW SAINTS ROW. It is the SAME thing with the past ones. I honestly dont understand the reviews. The dialogue was ALWAYS like this. ALWAYS. These people make me wonder, have they EVER played a saints row? They think that is silly? Dude, Saints 3 ends with them being in a movie in mars.

Let's just get to the conclusion: if you're evil enough, and you believe in Hell, then this is what it will feel like. Just atrocious. People need to go to prison for this release.

    Really outdated gameplay, Gunplay feels rigid and clunky especially on consoles, and the narratives focus oh the gangs friendship feels unearned. This game would’ve been a hit 7 years ago, but now it feels too outdated and not worth it unless you’re an extremely die hard fan.

    You are paid to create games without WOKE political ideology. They didn't listen to the thousands of players and now they are closing their doors.

    WOKE doesn't like video games and movies. their intention is only to create noisy minorities that aim to divide society and families.

    All game and movie companies that follow WOKE will come to the same end.

    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 a very good game. The story is okay, some characters can be annoying, but overall it's good. The map is very large and contains many interesting activities, the city is also very detailed. The best aspect of the game is definitely building a criminal empire, buying real estate and fighting other gangs. I recommend! 9/10

    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

    Giving saints row a 3.9/10, had a giggle here and there out of this cringe game, would of been a 2.9 but I got it for free out of a playstation 5 bundle.

    The game is too short, and it feels like a lot of it is missing the boss fights don't feel like boss fights especially the first one Wich the game does it for you in a cut scene. The game it self is buggy and glitchy.

    After many patches and fixes and I picked the game for a fraction of it's price I had fun. I enjoyed the game for the price I paid for it and for around 15$ I had a blast. Open world, wackiness, humour, guns and lots of guns. It's not the game I wanted but ultimately enjoyed it for fraction of it's price
