    This game seems to be really fun... but the performance at day one seems to be very shocking on Switch, considering this is the same machine that's running Doom2016@30fps or MK11@60 along with other current generation games at perfectly playable rates then it's shocking to see a game from the X360 era running so poorly on the Switch, there is a promise of a patch coming to fix some issuesThis game seems to be really fun... but the performance at day one seems to be very shocking on Switch, considering this is the same machine that's running Doom2016@30fps or MK11@60 along with other current generation games at perfectly playable rates then it's shocking to see a game from the X360 era running so poorly on the Switch, there is a promise of a patch coming to fix some issues but it's not available right now and really... there is no way the game should be performing as it is right now.

    That said.... the game is really great for what's there, tons of content and loads to unlock and do, the only issues again is performance right now isn't where it should be, so this feels like a 8-9 game, but the way it's running right now, this is a 6 at most, also if you have picked it up go into the controller settings and turn your X/Y sensitivity up to at least 65/70 to allow you to properly aim against the games strong (unalterable) autoaim.    … Expand

    Good fun game let down by a lack of polish. Visuals are a little dated but it’s still just as silly and fun to play as ever.

    Saints Row The Third est un très bon open word bac à sable, qui compensera honorablement l’absence de GTA sur Switch. Complètement déjanté et justifiant son PEGI 18 par un univers complètement débridé, le jeu vous offrira des dizaines d’heures de jeu grâce à son contenu gargantuesque et ses nombreux modes de jeu.

    The game it self is pretty funny and packed with a lot of over the top action & dumb humor. Not as "serious" as the gta games what i have really enjoyed. Nice to have such an open world game on the switch! The gyro aiming is a nice feature.

    The performance is okay as long as you have enabled dynamic resolution in the settings. It's enabled by default. Most of the time the game holds the 30 fps. If you are driving through the city fast everything gets a bit pixelated.

    The bigges problem for me is the technical condition in general & the price of the game. I had plenty of strange physics glitches, sound glitches that unexpectedly crashed the game and forced my switch to restart (first time ever), aswell as other kinds of crashes and glitches in the middle of some missions that forced me to start the whole mission over again. Furthermore the aliasing and popping textures were a bit annoying.

    The game is just a port of a more than 10 years old game that is selled for 39.99€ on the Nintendo e-shop. This is ridicolous. Fortunately i bought it for the half of the price which is still too much. Under this circumstances i would expect a totally polished game and not such a bugfest.    … Expand

    Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package is a real madness that comes to offer fun in abundance for Switch users. A very complete sandbox although with a technical section that can be improved. However, its great amount of hours of fun, its sense of humor and its good sound section make it a remarkable title.

    This is a port only really worth picking up if you missed it the first time, but even then the iffy controls (sprint is the left bumper and the menu wheel is on A, for some reason best known only to Hell’s most prolific torturers) and shocking performance issues will leave you wondering what all the fuss was about. 8 years after its original release t’s still irreverent fun, though certainly hampered by iffy shooting and iffier driving, but Saints Row has always been one of those series that kind of gets a free pass because it’s so endearingly nuts.

    Saints Row: The Third is now on Switch for better or worse. The game hasn't aged well, but is still fun to play. Just don't play it docked, because this is a open world game meant to be played on the go.
