I have been such a big fan of the Saints Row series. My very first one was Saints Row the Third, then I went back and played 1 and 2 before getting myself prepared for Saints Row IV. I’ve enjoyed every game in the series, and although I enjoy this reboot a good deal, it is an embarrassing return to the franchise for Volition. I don’t know what happened and I don’t want to shit on this game too hard because I did enjoy it but I can’t deny how disappointed I was. I have NEVER lost my shit more playing a game on fucking EASY mode. This game is aggressively broken and not just in the sense of difficulty but it is full of the most bugs I have ever seen in a game. And either they just don’t care or there is a lot of bugs to fix because there has still not been an update to this game since the last time I played (about 4 days ago). Not even to get into how low par the graphics are, it’s only upgraded a small amount from the last game, which is fucking 9 years old now, in the sense that it’s smoother now. It also is not a very long game, I don’t know what makes a game worth the full $60 but this did not feel like a $60 game. I found myself enjoying the side stuff more, that one they did do good with, this series has always been the best at the crazy side stuff. The story was actually quite fun and I want to punch all the bigots in the face who call this woke simply because the main cast is all people of color. The only white person would be their created character. But let’s not forget that most of the original cast was also people of color. Sure the series has lost a little edge, there isn’t a dildo bat or a tentacle bat that goes up the ass in this one, but that hardly makes it “woke”. I’m actually in love with Santo Illeso, it’s a really fun city and the biggest map Saints Row has ever made (which is still pretty small honestly) but going from city to desert and exploring all of it is a lot of fun. Taking over districts is easy and awesome as you turn districts purple and then purple and gold upon full completion. I think this team deserves another chance and hopefully they learn how to stomp some bugs before release. It pains me to drop a 6/10 on this. -Tyler.
