I am glad I was able to play this game with enhanced graphics with the new generation consoles. This game is in the middle for me. An open-world, GTA-style game with plenty of entertaining moments and happenings. It is weirdly fun, to be honest. That's what Saints Row is all about by the way. I finally got to understand the SR4 I've played years ago after beating this game. The mechanics are too simple, hoping to see at least some more interactions in the world itself. The music is so sick. It matches the mood of every aspect of the game. The open-world gameplay is at least entertaining, to be honest, the characters and their developments are somehow too obvious to predict. How I wish they improved the writings of this game. Overall, the graphics are great, especially this Remastered version.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered

My first thought on the game was, "Is this a parody of GTA?". Its a fun, messy and wacky but a beautiful remaster of the original. The characters are polished and look amazing. In this game, you are the leader of SAINTS ROWS, which is a gang. Though you are at the top of the food chain, you do not get any benefits of being the boss as you are just an errand boy like every other open-world game. I would have loved to control the gang and show them sometimes why I am the boss but the game doesn't give you that opportunity.

If GTA had a parody, this would be it.
