I really don’t understand the hate for this game, it’s just a bit of fun. Ok it’s not the most complex game in the world and doesn’t have the most in-depth storyline, but it’s a good laugh and sometimes that’s a good thing. I love a good storyline, some of my favourite games are the likes of Mass Effect and Last of Us, but sometimes it’s nice just to just pick up the controller and play something a little less emotionally draining and a little bit stupid!
I just love playing this game is absolutely amazing and highly recommended
Came quick , new and seeled no problems . Husband enjoyed a game
You know what you’re getting if you’ve played SR in the past. Great open world mayhem. It doesn’t disappoint, although it’s far more simple than I remembered.
Great addition to the Saints Row series. The open world concept is excellent and the game is really fun to play
If you’ve played the other saints row you’ll enjoy this one too.
Some people dislike it but I think it’s a cool new experience to a new chapter and super customisable which is nice and I’d say buy this game if you’re bored of the current games you’re playing
Don’t listen to the negative reviews, this is an amazing game – slight San Andreas vibes!
I think the critics have been too harsh here. Yes, it’s a bit old school, whilst at same time being a bit gen Z. Graphically it’s really variable ranging from amazing to OK, mostly good though. Characters one dimensional and missions fairly repetitive, although still lots of variety. The combat is great. Customisations are great. Most of all it’s fun. A much needed distraction albeit a fairly silly one.
if your a fan then it will appeal not a review but the game itself has a few bugs but they should be patched out soo
I was sceptical about buying this game after looking at the bad reviews, I bought this game from Argos. I don’t regret it the game is good fun lots to do and enjoy there are a few bugs but I’m sure they will get patched in future updates.
The lastest saints row game is fun but very similar too previous games.
Not a lot has changed compared the other saints rows as in game play for example there is alot of shooting enemies wave after wave and the open world is fun to drive around and cause mayhem.
The best part of the game is creating your own character and outfits, and I like that you can change your appearance and outfit at any time just by using the in game phone app.
The story is fast paced and there are special missions for example the classic Fraud rag doll mission to earn money and XP.
Overall this is fun easy to play game which sticks to the normal saints row format.
– It’s too repetitive.
– The characters aren’t relatable.
– It’s not very realistic
– The graphics aren’t realistic enough
Etc, etc. Let’s just get one thing straight. If you are looking for a story that compels you to come back for more, if you’re looking for a game that has realism, or realistic physics/graphics, if you’re looking to become attached to relatable characters, this game is not for you.
People have forgotten what games are for. They are to mess around and have fun. To break away from reality. That’s it, and this game delivers. Yes, I appreciate good physics in a game. I love realistic graphics. I’m a reader, so I love a compelling story and relatable/interesting characters, and I love to see all these things in games. But that doesn’t mean that’s all I want. Sometimes it’s just nice to kick back and have some fun. And this game delivers.
Yes, it’s not without its flaws. One thing that bugs me is there’s no cover system. I’m lenient with this when I revisit the PS1 and PS2 era, but these days? There’s not really any reason for not including it. It’s easy work. Are the characters relatable? It’s too soon for me to give an opinion on this but in honesty, I think it’s going to be hard to match the original saints, and I think the developers knew this. (The characters in this game are different and diverse. They have changed it up and taken a risk. Should they be punished for this?) Whilst I never expected physics to be realistic, they could have done a better job I think. Especially with car damage and the wingsuiting.
But hey, I want to break the realm of reality. I want to drift in a car for thirty seconds. I want to glide 30cm off the ground for an extended period of time. I want to take thirty bullets to the abdomin and still be able to put down the people shooting those bullets in that moment, because it’s fun!
So sure, the game doesn’t have a cover system, the physics could be better, the characters more relatable etc, but the difficulty level is EXTREMELY customisable. You want to take a lot of damage, but want to put down enemies quickly? Doable. You want to be put down with a couple of shots but want your enemies to be walking brick walls? Doable. Fed up with the durability of enemy vehicles? Reduce the difficulty without affecting the damage anywhere else. You want enemies to attack your turf frequently? Customise the difficulty. Fed up with them attacking too often? Customise the difficulty. And so much more. Honestly, other game developers can and should learn from the customisability of its protagonist and difficulty settings.
This game is NOT about compelling characters, stories or graphics. It’s about kicking back, letting loose and having some f***ing fun! And it delivers!
So yes, it can be repetitive and shallow at times, but with the level of customisation and with the intention of just letting loose, it doesn’t matter. This is a throwback to the PS2/early PS3 era, when games didn’t take themselves too seriously. If you go into this game with that expectation, you should enjoy it. If you’re hoping for something more, you’ll be disappointed.
More games should take themselves less seriously, and for that reason I’m giving five stars.
Buy it, play it, love i
The game is very fun, I have been having a blast with it. There are some bugs, although nowhere near as bad as reviews would make out. Ignore the hate and enjoy the game for what it is and I promise you will have a good time.
