I had a lot of fun with this game back in 2011 and now playing over ten years later in this remaster, it doesn't entirely hold up. It still is a decently good time though. There's a nice array of side activities with the highlight being Insurance Fraud which will always feel like the crowning achievement of the series. It's been a while since I've played Saints Row 2 but I do remember there being a bit more varierty in the side activities but what is there in 3 is still good. The story missions throw you into a lot of different scenarios ranging from shooting from a freefalling tank or running around as a toilet in a computer simulation to fighting a zombie apocalypse. The cast of characters are very entertaining and the game is actually pretty damn funny even if every joke does not land these days. Unfortunately, it's still quite glitchy which is disappointing for a remaster. Also, the DLC is pretty uninteresting. Still probably a better game than Skyrim. Why do I bring that up? Who knows?
