Saints Row is what you would expect if you played the other games. It's mindless, it's chaotic and most importantly it's fun.

...than this one. I have been playing the Saints Row series since the first game and own each one with all the DLC/Expansions I could get. Everything those games had that made me enjoy them (humour, character customization, gameplay, etc) is lacking in this release. I believe total playing time (not counting character customization) was around 15 minutes. Nothing about it made me want to give it a chance -- not even watching a couple YouTube gameplay videos.

I personally enjoyed the first 2 saints rows before things got too unrealistic. This revamp is fun to play and not too out of touch. There are some aspects of it that are unrealistic of course, but a fun story line!

First, I've been playing Saints Row titles since the very beginning, back in 2006. In fact, I purchased the first installment on the Xbox 360 at Best Buy. I should also note that this is my second copy of the game. I purchased the PS5 version at launch. Deep Silver, the publisher, has made some remarkable improvements since the less-than-stellar launch back in August 2022. That said, the writing isn't the best, the gameplay mechanics need some more work, and the enemies on the higher difficulties are bullet sponges. For all its issues, there is some charm to the game. The designer put quite an effort into designing the city (not so much the desert surrounding it, though, lol). It's a nice pick-up and put-down and, though the writing and story aren't the best, it has it's moments. There is some DLC planned for the future, so we'll see how that plays out.
Bottom line, I'm not going to tell you to NOT buy the game. I bought it TWICE. I'm as ambivalent as they come. 50/50.

This purchase was very special for me. It brought back memories of when I would walk into Best Buy on my day off and purchase a random video game to play on that day. I would always come across Saints Row on the XBox section of Best Buy, but I never picked it up. Fast forward to today and I finally purchased it. Not only is it a fun video game to play, but the nostalgia of purchasing a video game at Best Buy is like no other for me. A reminder of the hundreds of times I would visit Best Buy and just have a blast inside.

Game play is pretty fun, but can sometimes be repetitive for types of missions. I like that it is a big world to go and explore and lots of details in buildings and things. Overall plot is good and lots of gameplay if you explore all of the side missions.

Ive always loved the saints row series and before buying this all i saw was bad reviews. So i waited for a sale and bought it. This game is not even close to as bad as the reviews say it is. Even if i would have bought it at full price I would not be upset.

This game should not be called a Saints row game,its nothing like the other games in the series. World just feels so empty and the colors of the surrounding area/world are muddy and washed out. Combat is unenjoyable and the enemies are just bullet sponges. Vehicles are real joyless to drive as well, horrible physics. Glad i got this on sale and didn't pay full price!

Saints Row 2022 is an absolute waste of time and money. The characters are stereotypical cardboard cutouts, the "humor" is at a grade school level, the graphics look like they've been cribbed from an early ps4 release, and the gameplay is simply not fun. There is absolutely nothing to recommend this game, steer well clear, even at deep discount prices.
