“This game is GTA in WWII occupied France, and it's a blast. Highly recommend.”
“A fun pulpy open world stealth-adventure game. Send the Nazis packing from Paris one bundle of dynamite at a time. Runs buttery smooth on the Steam Deck.”
“My gameplay hours are low but I originally played and beat Saboteur on PS3. This game is truly one of the most overlooked games of the 7th gen and such a blast to play R.I.P Pandemic. If EA didn't kill them they…”

“Start the game, first thing that appears is a nice pair of t*ts 10/10”
“First playthrough review time. The Saboteur is a strong game even today, even though it came out in 2009. It mixes open-world action and stealth in a good way, similar to some popular games, but it still has its own…”
“I really wanted to give this a thumbs up. The Saboteur was one of my favorite PS3 games back then. Coming back to it now is not just about replaying a game I enjoyed, it also brings back memories of my grandmother…”

“Still a great game and worth the price.”
“Still a lot of fun! The grapics are dated but that is to be expected. They don't detract from the open world fun you can have in this game. Do missions or run/drive around blowing stuff up. Your choice. Especially if…”
“The game is good and looks beautiful, but it's buggy and desperately needs some new patches, optimization is horrible as well. If those are addressed then the game is well worth the price.”

“it start very good and the story fun but i cant play it on a 2k monitor.”
“one of the most underrated open world games i ever played,a really nice recreation of ww2 Paris,amazing gameplay with a lot of destruction,a decent stealth and climbing system and a pretty arcadish yet fun af combat…”
“I really enjoyed playing this game and I played it from start to finish consistently. It only means I didn't feel like the game got boring or too repetitive, which I usually feel with modern titles. The story was really…”

“good game works well after using the config file to change to 1440p no crashes through whole play time”
“Definitively a game of its time, but still good and well worth it for under £10. The big open world invites you to explore Paris and northern France. Endless amounts of stuff to blow up. With the FusionFix mod you can…”

“Nevermind the poor quality of this port. As a spanish, i'm just allergic to helping french people.”
“Totalmente bugado, tanto no pc como no SteamDeck… infelizmente não funciona, travamentos e crashs. Não consegui nem jogar por 30min.”
“game has a rapid flashing on the screen over and over that wasnt fixed when i limited its cpu access or monitor frame rate”

“The game does not allow you to play at higher HZ than 60. I have a 165HZ monitor. There is no mod available to fix this and I am not going to waste my time playing such a barebone port of an old game, no matter how good…”

“Still holds up surprisingly well for being near 20 years old. I really loved this game when it came out, and I still think it deserves the admiration. It does have some physics jank and you might have to wrestle with…”
“It's a fun sandbox with things to destroy and areas to liberate. The antifa power fantasy plot is kind of cringe, but after the boring epilogue chapter the player is left to do missions as they please and wreak havoc…”
“An excellent throwback game. As you play this you can see the beginning mechanics of games to come. The movement especially the climbing is awkward but you get used to it. The side content is a little repetitive but…”

“Shame, that EA shut Pandemic Studios down 2 years after acquiring it, because these guys made some good stuff. Only 1 hour in and I'm loving it.”
“Good game, took me long enough to finally play it. Shame Electronic Arts ruined the developers behind this (like they have so many others) and a sequel was never made. Maybe someone will get the rights to it, hopefully…”
“Its a nice game, made with love... shame this didnt continues.”

“Just Cause meets Assassin's Creed in WW2 Nazi-occupied Paris. Brilliant explosive fun. The initial monochrome appearance of the occupied sectors of the city makes for an interesting gameplay aesthetic, and incentivises…”

“After finishing the game 100% (including freeplay targets) in just under 30 hours play time, my conclusion is that the game needs a second part. This game is Great fun and would definetly recommend for anyone who likes openworld GTA type games. Apart from it only running on…”

Set in Nazi-occupied Paris, it blends open-world exploration with stealth, action, and a surprisingly stylish presentation. The core gameplay feels like a fusion of several iconic…”

I have been to Skellige with Geralt, Saint Denis and New Hannover with Arthur, Steelport with the Boss and Night City with V and Johnny. It has been my favorite genre of games ever since…”
