    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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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!

    I bought the game at launch to show my support, and I hoped to be pleased - especially with all the bad press the game has been getting. I just finished the game this evening, and I have been very happy with my play through.

    Yes, the gameplay may seem dated, and it’s a very formulaic Saints Row game. There is no real surprises in terms of gameplay. If you’ve played a Saints Row game, you know what to expect. Missions might be repetitive, but no more so than any other game in the series.

    There’s definitely a wide variety of activities, and plenty of secrets to discover throughout the world. I had fun taking over districts, and discovering hidden things around the map.

    I enjoyed the banter between the main cast, and thought that the story worked well enough for a Saints Row titles. Yes, these are the characters that we got to know in love in the previous titles, but I definitely don’t have any issue with this group. The jokes didn’t all land, but I was definitely amused by things that happened throughout the story. I did have a few bugs pop up here and there, but nothing major. Mainly just vehicles bouncing into the air after hitting small objects, and a weird issue with the camera inside helicopters. The second issue was easily fixed with a reload.

    Overall, I had a blast driving around the city, blowing things up, and being social with my crew. The game may not be for everyone, but make your own judgment - don’t listen to everything you hear.

People work hard and poor there heart & soul into a creation so that consumers can have entertainment. If this game is not for you then you should just not buy it or return it. But there is no reason to **** all over someone's creation like this with a crap ton of unnecessary hatred. All I can say is grow the **** up! Shout out to the devs for giving me hours and hours of endless fun! Expand

    I’ve managed to get through most of the story, so I feel comfortable writing a review. The developers stated when they revealed that they were going for a mix between Saints Row 2/The Third, and I think they’ve managed to hit the nail on the head beautifully with this reboot.

The developers stated when they revealed that they were going for a mix between Saints Row 2/The Third, and I think they’ve managed to hit the nail on the head beautifully with this reboot. The tone is not quite as over-the-top ridiculous and wacky as The Third/IV were (though I loved them dearly for it), but doesn’t take itself quite as seriously as 2. This makes your time in Santo Illeso so addictive enjoyable whether you’re tearing through the story to get more time with the lovable cast of new Saints and other supporting characters, or just roaming the city looking for some trouble to get into. And there’s no shortage of things to get up to. Activities make their return in the form of “Criminal Ventures,” including old favorites (like my personal fav Insurance Fraud!) and some new ones, and give you plenty of ways to increase your influence and revenue stream. Additionally there are plenty of ambient activities, such as Hidden Histories, which gives the player a chance to learn more about Santo Illeso’s in-game history as well as pick up a few Easter eggs along the way ;).

    I haven’t run into any of the technical difficulties others are talking about, but I also haven’t been trying co-op or anything like that. Hopefully it’ll get patched up and into a playable state for everyone soon. The driving is okay—some of the vehicles don’t handle that great and there isn’t an off-roading option for everything (which as someone who mainly drives motorcycles, not a huge fan of). The wingsuiting controls are not very intuitive or smooth once you do get the hang of them. Minor nitpicks on an otherwise great game that’s been a lot of fun so far.

    No, this Saints Row reboot certainly is not a patch on its predecessors we know and love, but underneath the deflating disappointment, lies an open-world game that is still competent, especially if you forget its forebears and look at it as a first-time entry in the franchise.

    The best part of the new Saints Row is the character creator. Second best is the synthwave radio station. Everything else was bland, soulless, open-world-by-numbers corporate game design.

If I hadn’t known anything about the game beforehand and someone told me it was a remaster of a game from 14 years ago, I would believe them based on design and gameplay.

    Sanitized characters with very little humor and the whole thing just felt like a bunch of boomers and older Gen X’ers trying to write what they thought would appeal to millennials and zoomers. Student loans, yadda yadda yadda, late stage capitalism, yadda yadda yadda, evil imperialist corporation… If the Steve Buscemi “how do you do fellow kids” scene/meme were a video game, this would be it.

    Driving and shooting is janky af, the vast majority of missions are just “go here, pick up thing, bring it back”, even the main story missions. The “gang building” is but a pale imitation of the first two SR games. Visually the game looks like something from mid-last gen only with volumetric fog and heat distortion effects for the hell of it -- but there's nothing here that can excuse the game's absolutely awful performance. Unstable frame rates, copious frame drops, stutters, extreme texture pop in, missing textures, the list goes on. And the list of bugs I encountered, many minor, some gamebreaking, would be too long to type.

    26 hours played to reach 100% completion and I only bothered because I didn't have anything better to play at the moment. I cannot recommend this game, especially not to Saints Row fans. This is a dumbed down, forgettable, "politically correct" version of the Saints and it feels like a game the original Saints Row would have absolutely pilloried. Saints Row 4 accurately predicted this with their parody signs reading: "REBOOT IS DEATH". This is, indeed, the death of a once fun franchise. Rest in Peace, Third Street Saints.

    If mediocrity is your thing, then look no further. This reboot follows a standard open-world action game template while eschewing most of the wild sense of humor and chaos that made its predecessors (in)famous. Not a "bad" game after several patches, but it remains difficult to recommend at full price.

    Sometimes I wonder whether some games exist only just to wash money...
    I have played all the SR games and this is probably the worst one because of incredibly huge ammount of neglection and ignorance. It's practically a joke, as if the developers didn't know what the gamers really want.
    I'll tell you what we surely don't want: 1. another game that looks like a sad caricature of any GTA

    I'll tell you what we surely don't want:
    1. another game that looks like a sad caricature of any GTA game so far
    2. another copy of SR game with changed dialogues, but same voices
    3. unrealistic driving - hit the brakes in your real car as fast as in the game then go and smack the guy responsible for steering cars and bikes in this game
    3. as usual: no walk button on PC, every movement is way too fast - it really looks like an arcade game for mobile phones
    Good things I really like are: character creation and that it's possible to change your character body and appearance any time as well as quite good voice acting, sound engineering and solid cut-scenes. Also: model behaviour (although too fast movement is a pain)
    All in all, I deeply regret how this game turned out. There are almost no alternatives to GTA, which is stagerring, based on how many people like this kind of games. One of the only rivals of GTA present a game which is incredibly shallow. The question remains: WHY?

The action is there but not near as fun or exciting and not near as funny. I hate the idea of no more Saints Row, but if they aren't returning to what made it great, then the series is doomed anyway. Not a terrible game, not a zero or a 3, but not near as good as the previous games, I'm sad that the devs didn't listen to feedback during development, people weren't happy with the new direction, and now its going badly.

    Remember, this game was delayed from January to August. There is literally no reason to play this game. The gameplay isn't fun, the visuals are worse than the previous game Saints Row The Third.

    This is intended to be a reboot of Saints Row, basically. And it's somehow worse in just about every area to the OG Saints Row! A game that came out in 2006! Even graphically somehow. This game looks better, but in motion, it looks like complete trash. Also; this is yet another open-world game with a nice, big map that is virtually empty.

    Terrible game, terrible devs. Also; whoever thought it was a good idea to add bullet sponge enemies to *this* extent in a Saints Row game? You're dumb as hell. Thx.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Qu'on soit clairs : Si vous souhaitez acheter ce reboot de Saints Row en pensant avoir un vrai héritier des opus précédents entre les mains, passez votre chemin.

    Du Gameplay à l'histoire le jeu tient tout sauf ses promesses, On pense diriger un gang quand en réalité on a l'impression d'être le gérant de la MJC du coin.

    Niveau Histoire, tout est sujet à rigolade, ici , vous ne trouverez aucun évènement aussi marquant que ceux de Saints Row 2 ou 3. Les membres fondateurs du groupe ont plus la dégaine d'acteurs de sitcoms des années 2000 que de vrais gangsters. Et même dans le peu de quêtes qu'offrent le mode histoire, il n'y aura qu'une ou deux missions qui seront vraiment mémorables. Mot qui d'ailleurs, est tout le contraire de l'ensemble des personnages que vous allez croiser dans le jeu.

    Concernant le gameplay, honnêtement je ne saurais par ou commencer :
    - Les NPCs ont encore que deux réponses en tête quand ils vous voient : fuir ou tirer pour les plus braves d'entre eux
    - Les multiples bugs qui vous font sortir de la map ou qui vous bloquent sur des missions du mode HISTOIRE
    - La physique des voitures, car bien qu'elles soient assez agréable à conduire (j'ai bien aimé les drift en Raycaster), elles restent sacrément horribles à prendre en main à partir du moment ou vous utiliserez un grappin pour attacher un autre truc à eux
    - Le système de BARRE DE VIE ??!? Dans un jeu OPEN WORLD, Sérieux ?? C'est insupportable de devoir vider 2-3 chargeurs pour un seul ennemi

    Alors bien sur vous pourrez toujours modifier la résistance des ennemis, ou bien même masquer les barres de vie des voitures/ennemis, ça reste un ajout assez plaisant, mais de ce j'ai pu tester ça rendra le jeu soit trop facile, soit trop dur.

    Malheureusement je ne pourrai pas vous parler de mon expérience sur la Co-op parce que déjà je n'ai nullement l'envie d'imposer ce semblant de "jeu" à mes proches, mais aussi parce que je vois pas l'intérêt de visiter une map aussi vide et sans intérieur qu'on soit deux ou pas.

    Donc si vous souhaitez jouer en espérant avoir un Saints Row 2,3 voire au pire du pire 4, vous vous trompez gravement.
    Par contre vous souhaitez jouer à un jeu finissable assez rapidement, avec une bonne customisation de personnages vous allez trouver votre bonheur (si le jeu ne crash pas toutes les 4h ).

    -se cierra el juego sin razón aparente - Fracaso la misión sólo por que si - En una misión no puedo matar a los por que estaban en una zpna elevada pero estaban congelados reintente la misión varias veces y seguía pasando -etc Cave aclarar que estoy jugando en ps5 , intente pedir un rembolso y me lo denegaron por que no havian recibido quejas , aunque lo havia pedido antes de los 14 días , no tiene nada que ver con la critica pero lo digo por si lo piensan comprar en Play Station . La historia a sido de mi agrado pero sin los chistes que caracterizaba a la saga saint row .

    As someone who plays saints row for the first time in my life I have to say i did now like it very much. I wanted to start the series but then i heard about the reboot so I decided to wait. I count not have made a biggest mistake. The humor is dull and kind of woke it is like amy schumer wrote all the jokes. Of course it had some good jokes in all of the campain but it was not worth it.As someone who plays saints row for the first time in my life I have to say i did now like it very much.

The shooting and combat is absolutely terrible. The driving is just ok. The world is dull. Also a lot of mechanics feel like they are the worst version of other games for example driving is like mafia 3. On the plus side the graphics are not the best but are quite good, there are not any microtransactions and i have encountered almost not bugs.
    For me is not worth paying.

    It is just the definition of mediocre. As a hardocre SR2 fan, literally top 5 favorite games of all time. There is enough classic SR "things" in this game to make you have some good moments. But it is just the absolute bare minimum. Not to mention for every cool mission, fun activity or spontaneous moment.

    I bet the game. Over 80% completion rate. Did all the side ventures and most of the side activities. Explored a great amount etc. I have no interest to play the game again. Which is sad because Santo Illeso is beautiful. But it is just so damn shallow. Just like the game as a whole, its wasted potential.

    This game is the nail in the head as a SR fan for me.

    the game is an absolute blast, but its still got some bugs, easy to soft-lock your char by using your ability's too fast and crashes sometimes if played for too long, its not the end of the game, its still a lot of fun and is just, more so an inconvenience, there's some physics bugs that can be fun but clearly although the game feels not fully play-tested, all and all its a good fun gamethe game is an absolute blast, but its still got some bugs, easy to soft-lock your char by using your ability's too fast and crashes sometimes if played for too long, its not the end of the game, its still a lot of fun and is just, more so an inconvenience, there's some physics bugs that can be fun but clearly although the game feels not fully play-tested, all and all its a good fun game that just needs some patching, minor patching, not major, just fixing soft-locks mostly, and adding the ability to land on big tucks, I don't mind the random car launches, that's saints row for you, leaving bugs untouched like that cause its silly and non serious and sometimes useful, all and all just needs patching on the more serious issues Expand

    This game is the definition of a diamond in the rough. As most have experience, this game is riddle with bugs, but don't let that deter you from a great reboot. The story is interesting and enjoyable with numerous moments that will have you laughing.

Some of the glitches and bugs can get annoying but for the type of game Saints Row is, the glitches actually adds a bit of humor to me. Found it very funny to go into a bar ans beat the crap out of a guy to see the guy vanish, but still see your character attack an invisible person. I know that might not be idle for many, but for some it adds some hilarious moments. This game is definitely not perfect, but it isn't a complete waste either. Characters are enjoyable, side quests are fun [especially Larping] and overall kept me well entertained. Nice to not always have to deal with the **** weapons or the extreme perversion, but something still violent, vulgar, and funny. If you are skeptical wait for a sale, but for me at least, I don't regret dropping the full price tag I paid since I still received my overall enjoyment. Expand

    Jesus christ the “anti sjw” crowd really overreacts to **** This is certainly not as good as previous saints games, but still some fun to be had in it.

Its saints row, its dumb, its silly, and theres enough wacky **** to do that its pretty fun. I really would like to give the game a 7, however, one criticism that is fair is the amount of bugs present. That holds it back. But, if you like saints row or are on the fence, i say go for it Expand

    I've been a fan of Saint's Row since the beginning of the franchise. I love that the game is the 'toned down' version of GTA because I can't stand all the n-word this, n-word that BUT this new installment definitely is NOT Saint's Row. Why? Because the characters are mostly flat, the stakes are boring, and the wild, nutty stuff from the previous games is completely absent!

Simply put, YOU CAN NOT HAVE A SAINT'S ROW GAME WITHOUT A CHARACTER LIKE JOHNNY GAT!!

    I played the game on Xbox so I didn't have any buggy moments that interfered with the game but I by 1/4 the way through, I was finding the missions to be repetitive and the side-quests were just so-so.

    Самая худшая часть saints row, да ещё и с кучей багов. Всё миссии однообразные и скучные, кроме пары-тройки миссий. Задания с доставкой на грузовике пройти проблематично из-за странного поведения ИИ. Иногда машин на дорогах просто нет.Самая худшая часть saints row, да ещё и с кучей багов.

    Im gonna give 2 just because they promoted this so much, gotta respect the effort. But overall, bad story writing, not logical decisions by characters.

    Where to start with this game? We have transitioned to an era of gaming where every old franchise we grew up to love and spend thousands of hours playing has been rebooted and ruins the entire franchise. The graphics are absolute garbage. Models don't render in properly and the environment just looks as if it was created for the PS3/PS4 transition, not something for 2022.

The gun play is horrible and boring, the open world aspect is empty, the side quests are messed up to all heck and the main story is a snooze fest. The characters are cringe, and just there to make this next generation of Saints seem hip.... when the game is about gangsters. Whoever has done the writing on the plot is also terrible. I've seen writing that far surpasses the entire script of this video game written by high schoolers. A month later and the game is still a buggy mess. Its no wonder it didn't launch on Steam at first. The game would have been decimated. Goodbye Saints Row. I will miss the old You. o7 Expand

    Saints Row had chance to be something much more, if only the team behind the game tried to take a more bold and careful approach.

    he character creator still shines, but frustrating mission design and a disappointing plot make this reboot difficult to recommend. Far more sinner than saint. [Issue#19, p.92]

    A really, really fun experience that is getting sh*t on for no reason other than groupthink, herd mentality and people on the bandwagon.
