Fun game, its cool, ill keep playing it. but playing on m^k makes me dizzy from the weird motions and forced camera, and controller is scuffed as hell and devs give the same BS for 12 years about how they cant "replicate" the problem. sure you cant. thats why its been an issue and people have to fix the game themselves to use a controller. So i got roller to work and all, but im typing this out now because i forgot the one of two buttons on my xb0ne controller that makes the game crash, and i accidentally pressed one because one of the two is the START button, so i cant with controller enabled open game settings with or without controller, as ESC on my keyboard with controller enabled will also just make my game crash with no errror codes; so yeah, scuffed as hell. also impossible to work on steam deck without downloading a bunch of bloatware and codex packs that may or may not work. for 2$ though i mean, 2$ is literally nothing so it is what it is.

loved it, although i understand why there could be mixed reviews about it. I yet to play any of the saint row games, so unsure about comparison or need to compare but the game could be really fun and especially if you like the characters, the humour is more like typical in "action movie" maybe, but I care less about that, I even liked that in some parts because it fit, I also really liked all the male characters in-game, especially Yeti 🩷

bad:
- missions too long (and not in a good way, just feels like meant frustrate whoever is playing)
- bosses have like 3 or 4 phases to die, so just when you think it's done, they start their "next phase"
- combat can get boring when enemies just keep spawning endlessly with no end
- Daisey's forced recruitment mission and Ariadne's enemy mission are the most obnoxious parts of the game

good:
- male characters I loved a lot (like Yeti, Oni, Red Card, Hollywood)
- the world has nice visuals I think, at least i liked it enough, it's not too much but not too little
- driving is kind of fun
- liked the animation intros for each character almost, some more then in-game model (like Hollywood)
