Critic Reviews
- Saints Row is, ultimately, an ambitious but flawed title. The game dips its feet in two contrasting tones, sometimes to its credit but often to its detriment. However, when it decides to tap into the shameless melodrama of its predecessors at the expense of a grittier, GTA 5-adjacent experience, it shines.
Cat Bussell · Feb 09, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While the classic open-world formula may have worked in the past, Saints Row comes off as unambitious and basic. Both mechanically and visually, the game is closer to being a remaster of a last-gen game than a full-blown reboot.
Michael Feghali · Sep 09, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As it stands, this game comes off just feeling like its clinging to the tone and design choices from the 360; even the graphics in this reboot from 2022 feel dated and frankly Johnny Gat deserves better.
Terrence Johnson · Sep 08, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Saints Row sadly takes away some of the most iconic parts of the franchise, and instead of replacing these stripped-away elements with new and refreshing ideas, you’re left with what feels like a game that should have been released between 5 to 10 years ago.
Kyle Knight · Aug 28, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Saints Row is a new take on the franchise, one that focuses heavily on the RPG aspect of the game. It’s a fun underdog story set in the beautiful Saint Elos about this new version of the Saints. The customization options to make your boss truly your own delivers in such a remarkable fashion. However, it is the number of glitches and bugs that hurt the game’s reputation.
Varno Harris · Aug 25, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - 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.
Tristan Ogilvie · Aug 23, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - For a game all about building a crime syndicate, the fact that engaging in such activities feels so optional on the main path is a crime itself. It also won’t come as much surprise to Saints Row fans that this is just as scrappy as ever before. Still, it’s ridiculously enjoyable nonetheless.
Richard Seagrave · Aug 22, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Saints Row reboot wants to tell a new, modern story, but the gameplay framework surrounding it is starting to show a bit of rust.
Ash Bates · Aug 22, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - It’s bogged down by a number of bugs that take you out of the experience and uneven presentation with dated elements and plenty of pop-in. Despite these issues, it manages to remain true to its roots with smart additions to the series’ open-world formula.
Ali Hashmi · Aug 22, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The Saints Row reboot has a lot of action and activities to keep you preoccupied. Unfortunately, it's also bogged down by a middling story, repetitive mission progression, and a litany of bugs. With its silliness toned down by a notch, it struggles to find its identity in a crowded field of open-world action games.
