“Great game, but requires Juiced Patch to play on modern hardware. Also linux native version has horrible performance and doesnt support Juiced Patch so I recommend using Proton compatibility layer.”

“Install the Juiced patch (very easy, very simple) and enjoy this masterpiece to your heart's content”

“still the best open world sandbox. stay mad gta 4 fans”

“You need to use the juiced patch, or the PC port is unplayable. I enjoyed my time replaying this game for the first time in years. Has the early 2000s edge. It's the last "believable" gang-based Saints Row game, before…”

“Look, the game itself is pretty great - the feeling of the late 90's/ early 2000's small time gang rising to glory is unmatched, and this game has probably the best music out of the entire series, but the PC port is…”

“A classic that perfectly captures the peak PS2/PS3 era energy of open-world games, that I truly love. It remains the gold standard for the series, striking a perfect balance between a serious gang story and over-the-top…”

“Juiced Patch FTW, took me less than 2 minutes to set up and I've never seen Stillwater look so good even on my bucket of a gaming PC.”

“One of the BEST GAMES EVER MADE. Would I ever play this game on my computer? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Even with compatibility patches this game has never worked well for me. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAPPEN TO OWN A STEAM DECK, THIS GAME…”

“You'll need the Juiced mod. Outside of that runs fantastic, looks pretty good for its age, and runs fine on Linux with Proton. Probably the best of the Saints Row series. Sadly, we're not likely to ever see another game…”

“One of the first games I ever bought for myself nearly 20 years ago. Still playing it to this day. Do I recommend this game? Yes. Do I recommend it without mods? No. But, modding it is easy. All you really need is the…”

“I love this game; I wish I could play it on windows 11 without any external/unofficial patches, please fix it, the game is a 100% worth it; the side activities are so dark and funny, from insurance fraud, fight club and…”

“If you don't mind modding this game to make it work, it's 100% worth it (I used JUICED and installed a few other mods using CGoTR by dragging and dropping them into the included "original_patch" folder). The game design…”

“This is one of those games I come back to every few years and it's just as fun each time! A good game that is great with mods. Only downside is that it needs mods to function properly on pc.”

“I have spent my childhood playing this game. Countless hours of stupid, clueless sandbox fun. Now i'm playing it again, not just reliving the game that i loved all those years ago, but discovering what still makes this…”

“even tho you need the juiced patch to fix the game, once you install it you will be blessed with a fantatic story and great gameplay which still holds up. heres my ranking of the game. story 9/10 gameplay 8.1/10…”
