“I diden't intend to buy this. I'd been replaying Saints Row 3, noticed there was a remaster, then when picking up the remaster was offered the Saint's Row empire bundle for cheap and picked that up. Noticing it in my…”
“If you ignore this being an execution of a once-beloved franchise it's actually kinda okay. It's like if Saints Row 3 had slightly better gunplay and a little more thought put into its core gameplay design. The story is…”
“I love this game, gonna be honest. It looks beautiful, the customization is the best I've seen in a game, the gameplay is fun, and it can be fairly difficult if you're reckless. The problem stems from the fact most…”

“I just finished Saints Row (2022) with 100% completion including all DLC, and honestly I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. The game takes place in the open-world city of Santo Ileso, and exploring the map is one of…”
“What can I even say? I haven't seen everything in the game yet, but it's very mixed. The moment to moment gameplay feels fine, it just doesn't do anything interesting. Driving isn't that bad, but it can be annoying when…”

“Good game if you actually give it a chance. 90% of negative reviews are people who let the outrage merchants on youtube do all the thinking for them. Story is fun and absurd as a saints row game should be. Shame it sunk…”
“Get it on sale. It's not a bad game, but it's not holding up to the SR3 or SR4 level. The story itself is good but it's also quite short, I liked the idea of seeing how it all started but don't expect the same level of…”
“Please, please, play this game, its sooooo funny!!! The last week I played and finish GTA 4, and LOVE IT !!!!, So, I bought GTA 5, ... well, I just get to 45% of the game, and did't like the game. BUT THIS !!!! I Really…”

“I'm an OG fan. Played all of them. Saints row 1,2,3,4 and gat out of hell. Had fun with all of them despite the identity crisis the series had half way through. After a painful 11.7 hours I decided to find the Idol…”
“The game Seems kinda overhated after the first few hours. It feels like a game that doesn't know what it wants to be. It definitely isnt a Saints Row game but it's not too bad. Gameplay mechanics are good and it's…”

“Maybe I'm boring but I'm really enjoying this. I didn't ever play the original first game, only played Saints 2-4 and always used the cheats. I'm enjoying playing this 'properly' though. Although, I am on the easiest…”

“This game actually has nothing going for it. The gunplay is boring as hell, the combat in general is atrocious, the writing is awful and the setting is soulless. And don't get me started on the driving, the car has 0…”
“I was able to get a full playthrough across a few sessions with a friend and managed to have some chuckles and laughs up until the end of the story but that was only due to going in from the very start that the game…”

“It's a horrible game. And I am not saying it like it is a bad Saints Row game. It is genuinely a bad game. Driving is bad, shooting is bad, running is bad, physics are almost non existent. NPC behavior and general AI is…”
“I don't know how anyone can even play this, my friend and I keep getting stuck on loading screens. It's essentially a defective game. Not to mention how disrespectful this game is to the previous Saints Row titles.”

“It overstays its welcome and the characters are obnoxious, but if you just want an open world full of repetitive tasks and collectibles then this will scratch that itch.”

“👢 Man, why is this half-baked? It's literally "Saints Raw", and that's why I don't recommend it. There are too many minor, annoying bugs with: collisions, animations, interface, sound, customization, timings, and…”
“100% Saint's Row on 10/8/2023. For the amount of hate it got, it was quite a fun game. Felt like going back to Saints Row 2. Less silly then 3 and 4 and more down to earth. A bulk of the game is definitely in the side…”

“its not perfect, the dialogue kinda reeks of out of touch writers trying to think of what people do nowadays, and the story really doesnt make a whole ton of sense. that being said, i had a lot of fun playing it. i…”

“I'm gonna try to condense this as much as possible to just help you make the call or buy or no buy. SR1 and SR2 are how I survived high school, needless to say I'm a big fan of the 2. So let's get it out of the way now - it's worth buying. This is not the writing of 1 or 2 let's…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“I gotta be honest, if not for the story and missions the game ended up with, this reboot would have been met positively in spite of some other flaws. As-is, and seeing for how cheap it goes on sales, I would say this is a decent crime sandbox, if with a very weak story. The…”
