This game is so cringe and boring at some instances. The After Party don´t get me starting WHY A BOARD GAME AT END GAME? Last Mission was fine but again oh well. 100% wise it was the most 50/50 ever EITHER TOO LONG or too short. when it was long it was boring and repetitive. When short it wasn´t too bad. There were a few I liked it but i can´t remember the game. Now it comes the tip of the cherry. THE GAME WANTED 8M€ FOR THE LAST SHIT BUILDING AND WHAT I RECEIVE? A FUCKING CRINGE KARAOKE CUTSCENE AND GAME ABSOLUTY KILL ITSELF BECAUSE CUTSCENS RIP AND THE GAME SOFTLOCKED. NICE ONE WHO PAY 60€ FOR THIS CONGRATS YOU GUYS ARE SOMETHING. WHEN I PAY 60€ FOR RGG IT´S GOLD. WHEN YOU PAY 60€ FOR THIS IT´S NOT EVEN WORTH 1€. What so ever. they tried with the plot with the most serious moments but the cringe ones killed it all. Soundtrack is mid at best. and yeah kinda outdated in some aspects but I had fun in few moments. Don´t play it anyways. I rather buy a rope than play this ever again. Oh I prefer DMC2 over this and DMC2 is garbage as well compared to the franchise. BUT THIS MADES LOOK SR4 AS A MASTERPIECE.
Among its variety of characters are zany one liners and tongue in cheek humour that are a staple of the series that fans have come to know the series for.
Not too familiar are the side missions to increase and take over each region of the map, similar to previous instalments.
The game itself felt a bit too similar to its predecessor, which isn’t too much of a bad thing - but just expected there to be more differences coming from a reboot.
Story wise was nothing particularly exciting but the flashy cutscenes and sarcastic tone kept me intrigued to see how the story unfolded.
One great aspect is the character customisation - with such a wide variety of different looks and clothes to choose from.
Would I have enjoyed the game as much if it hadn’t been via PSPlus? Probably not - but overall I had an enjoyable time that on occasion felt bogged down by repeat side content.
I think complete newcomers to the series would find a far better experience here.

On Monday at 3am, I decided to stay awake and get this platinum. It took me about 3 days of nothing but playing this.
Was it worth it? Is it really as bad as everyone says it is?
Here's my thoughts on the reboot of Saints Row:
Right off the back, Saints Row begins with an incredible character creator. I seriously adore the creator and the work that was put into it. You really can just be anything and anyone you'd like to be. The best part is that you can change yourself at any point in the game. Something I believe every game should offer. Sometimes I want to change my voice or my gender for the fun of it and this game lets you mix and match every bit of character at any point in the game. It manages to make one of the better custumisations into perfection in my opinion.
So my character looks good but does it look good in a good game? The answer is yeah, if you're nostalgic for older gen games.
The thing with this reboot is that it literally is just another Saints Row. It takes the first game and adds the insane whackiness that 3 has. It isn't serious AT ALL and that's what makes it a fun game. If you miss that feeling of being a kid playing a PS2 or 360 and you're down for a little more mature of game to laugh at, THIS is the game that gives that feeling.
It's an extremely fun video game. Walking around with my tits out and not censored as I flame punch enemies into a train and then fly away in a helicopter only to wingsuit out of it and land on a car.
This game isn't your oscar bait Sony experience. It's not your insane esports game.
Saints Row 2022 is a shut your brain off and have fun kind of game.
That being said, alllllll the issues that apply to those older gen games is all present here. The biggest issue with Saints Row is sadly exactly what it is. It's a PS3 game that looks like a PS5 game.
As it stands now, this game has awful bugs and glitches that can mess up save data, crash the game, make it so that you can't shoot or NPC's don't act as they should. It's a nightmare sometimes and I didn't even encounter half the amount people were reporting.
Even outside the glitches, Saints Row suffers from god awful side missions that litter the map. The platinum grind rears It's ugly head out when you realise the game is 10 hours story, 30 hours exhausting side missions that go for 2-5 minutes each and add NOTHING to the story. It is all just "we have an open world game and we needed you to have something to do"
The story is not very inspiring, however I liked the characters. I think the room-mates trying to make it in a city of crime is just dumb fun. It's cool to see them rise up as dorks to bad asses. Each of them really felt like friends. They may not be the original crew everyone loves but I think they fit the story really well even if they don't hit AS hard.
They're young adults making a name for themselves because why the fuck not and that is Saints Row to me.
Overall, Saints Row is a fun ass video game that is riddled with glitches and uninspiring side content that bore me to death. What is there in the story, the jokes, the character creator is extremely solid and a great foundation for the series to keep going.
It's 100% a wait for sale, wait for updates game but if you're looking to blow shit up and have enjoyable cringy jokes to back it all up, then check it out.
Not all games need to be serious but they do all need to work ❤

Embora muitos fãs estivem receosos, Saints Row mantém a essência da franquia. Temos personagens carismáticos, uma campanha alucinante e com muita ação e uma personalização de personagem que entrega muita variedade. Porém, o jogo acaba não indo para lugar nenhum em comparação com os títulos anteriores da franquia. Não temos grandes inovações, os personagens continuam sem profundidade e a história não entrega uma reta final interessante. Além disso, os grandes problemas de performance no Series S atrapalham a experiência e tornam a jogabilidade frustrante e até injogável em vários momentos.
Mesmo assim, o saldo do game é positivo em alguns aspectos. Me diverti bastante com as piadas e os momentos de ação e explosão do game. Portanto, quando os problemas forem corrigidos, recomendo o jogo para os fãs da série deste que eles saibam exatamente o que esperar: piadas de qualidade questionável, muitas cenas absurdas e claro, aquele toque clássico de paródia com o mundo dos jogos que sempre foi característico na franquia.
