This game isn't perfect, but it definitely gets way more hate than it deserves. The biggest downside of this game is the story, but not even for being poorly written. I wouldn't say there's anything real "cringe" dialogue, but the characters really don't make much of an impression throughout the main campaign, but there are some highlights still. Neenahs side missions did a lot to really endear me to her while Eli has a great multi part RP side quest that's a ton of fun. Kevin is the only real character that I feel falls flat. He really doesn't have any side missions or real moments that endear me to him, but he's not unbearable to be around. The other problem with the story is that since it's a reboot the whole game is centered around building the Saints as an organization, so the game ends where you feel that it should just be starting. Definitely all problems that could be sorted out if they were given the chance to do a sequel to it. Outside of the story problems, the game plays exactly like Saints Row and is just as fun as it was in the other 4 entries. Fuck Embracer for sabotaging the release of this game and shuttering Volition.
