    This "game" is an unfinished mess. There is very few good things about this "game", one of them being is the funnest part of the game, the refunding option. This game tries to hard to not offend anybody, it's like saints row 2 made for gen z. If you want to make your fans excited, maybe don't add "horse balls" and ignore the fans.

    The game is fun for what it is. It had a rough start.

    Experienced some small bugs... nothing really crazy! The only thing i find annoying are the texture loading/distortions on the bridges in the game.

    I haven't tested the latest patches that has more than 200 bug fixes.

    i dont know who Volition hired to design this game, but they seriously saw one of the raunchiest irreverent adult humor games and said "what if we toned it down to G rated and made it super Politically Correct, yet absolutely no sex positive themes at all" and seriously though it would sell fine... thanks to this volition has been bought up by 2k and successfully ended the series as it once was...

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    A lot of negative reviews about this one but as of writing (Jan 8 2022) it seems to be in a much better state. Still a few quirky bugs but far from game breaking or slowing down the fun in any way. Reminds me of playing GTA 5 online but without the annoying other players (no shade if thats your thing ). Id recommend the game to anyone who just wants to turn off your brain and play a video game.

    I don't understand the haters. Yes, the game, in my opinion, is significantly worse than the previous one, but it's still good, very big, and very beautiful. It's a good game, not the best, but we can ride motorcycles and even use a sort of parachute, so it's quite comprehensive. Overall, it's a good game. The story might be a bit lackluster, but that's about it because the missions are perfect.

    I actually borrowed Saints Row from my local library, and even though it's "free" and has received several updates since the launch, I am finding myself struggling to like it.

    For the most part, the gun-play is pretty solid, and there's some awesome moments (mainly story missions) that feel satisfying, and engaging. However, I strongly dislike the fact that there's no dedicated cover system. Instead you press down on the d-pad to "duck" and try to find cover in throughout the environment, which just feels arbitrary and tacky. Luckily your character is built like a sponge, and you can take many hits, but it downgrades the experience knowing you can stand there and take a lot of hits before you need to run around a corner and recover health. I also don't like how you can't switch your down the sights aiming from left to right shoulder. It is perpetually locked to the character's right shoulder, and there are times you really wish you could swap shoulders and perspectives in the process.

    The biggest offender for me though the HUD. I wish it had options to choose what you want displayed, or at least resize the HUD and/or move it closer to the corners of the screen. It's too invasive, and often times smack in the way and blocks your ability to see when you're driving to a destination. Playing a mission that involves driving to your destination? There's a HUGE circle icon on the horizon that sits squarely in your peripheral vision, making it difficult to see oncoming traffic and even road hazards.

    Also, the world that Volition created tries hard to be memorable, but it falls flat on its face. Everything feels bare, devoid of any excitement or strong attention t details, and the NPCs are beyond lame with their dreary ho-hum thoughts they say out loud. Everything just feels so cliche.

    I am glad I didn't pay actual money to play this game, but that I was able to give it a shot and see if it was for me. It's not, and I actually turned it off after about 10-12 hours since it simply never got any better, and felt like a chore to play.

    I'm looking forward to other open world games we're getting this year. Hopefully they don't disappoint like Saints Row.    … Expand

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.

    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!

    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.

    This game falls in the same pit of Forespoken in that regard, just a medioce piece of software concealing itself under the robes of a triple-A franchise.

    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

    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

    What isn't bad about this game? From Writing, graphics, story, characters, optimization...it fails on all accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if this game kills the franchise. This game should be a lesson for game developers on "what not to do". Ignore anyone giving this game high marks. There's a reason why this game did so poorly and caused its studio Volition to shut down...

    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.

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

    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.

    I look at this as a lazy piece of work you can (sort of) call a game. The Saints Row reboot we've all been waiting for was a disappointment and a blunder.

    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]

    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.
