Saints Row Review

Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Google Stadia.
"For a game that gives us so much freedom to be exactly who we want to be via its superb customisation options, it’s odd that Saints Row itself struggles to forge its own identity when it comes to the types of wanton criminal activities it makes available to us. There’s definitely no shortage of shallow shoot ‘em up thrills to be had here, but it’s a very familiar and uninspired brand of sandbox fun that’s unlikely to wow anybody who’s played a Saints Row game before, much less a GTA. There are a few spectacular story moments and the city of Santo Ileso serves as a sprawling new playground full of surprisingly antiquated and non-interactive amusements, but the distinct lack of new gameplay ideas - and the frequency with which some of its least interesting ones are reused - means this Saints Row feels more like a repetitive retread than a proper reboot. It’s definitely a new gang of Saints, but they’re guilty of the same old sins."

AAA games nowadays are too expensive for big publishers to take creative risks, unfortunately. The reason why Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft’s future games are more exciting than the rest is that they can take risks, as any games that flop would be nowhere near as damaging to them as they would for a company like Ubisoft or EA for example.

Reviews such as these should come out the day before the game is released so people that pre-ordered have the option to make an informed choice whether they should go ahead with the purchase or not!

The part where all the gang members screamed "ITS SAINTS ROWIN TIME" and started saints rowing the rival gang members were a spectacular moment in the game. Truly one of the pc games right beside highway to hell and GTA Definitive Edition Trilogy.
