This is really just more Saints Row IV in a smaller map, but some of the powers are new as well as replacing the super jump with wings that allow you to fly as well. The flying is really good and is definitely the fastest way to traverse an open world map I've seen, kinda wish I could use it in IV as well.

For some reason the main story is not only short but also mostly on a timer, so you'll barely do a few missions before it forces you onto progressing, then that repeats a couple of times and it's done. It feels like there are too many side activities for a game that doesn't seem to want to give you breathing room to do them. Still what little story is there is even more insane than in the previous game and I'm into it to be honest.

Overall though I enjoy it because SRIV is fun for me, but if you're not into it you might just not want to touch this either. The biggest problem really is that it got released as standalone pack when it would have done way better as DLC, I feel like the expectation it sets itself on by being released as a full game really works against it when it comes to its audience, who mostly already weren't into IV to begin with.

Those endings though... Yeah the story wasn't going to recover without a retcon and I understand that bothers a lot of people.
