Rating: ★ - Awful
Time Played: 2 hours
Difficulty: Entrepreneur
Reason Abandoned: After completing the Tutorial, I felt so underwhelmed at the poor quality and lack of attention to detail.

Gameplay:
- Game attempts to reboot the Saints Row franchise but is a poor imitation.
- Auto-lock on is turned on by default for keyboard and mouse users which is not well tuned and robs the satisfaction of shooting enemies.
- All Enemies have health bars which are redundant due to dying after 1-2 shots, at least at the start of the game.
- Driving feels like you're sliding on the road, Drifting accelerates you and is often faster than turning.
- Dodge rolling gives no benefits.
- Customization options for characters and audio is decent.

Story\Dialogue:
- The story is uninteresting from the get-go, terribly paced and with failed intrigue.
- Dialogue is bland and feels forced.

Graphics and Sound:
- The graphics look and feel similar to Fortnite, with a decent environmental and character style that could have been better polished.
- Tabbing out mid cutscene will pause the animations but continue the audio, desyncing and making the cinematic unplayable.
- Transitions between cinematics and gameplay is poor and robs you of what could potentially be cool action scenes.
- Animations are off. I pulled a gun on a smiling girl in a car. She continued to smile as I continued to steal her car from her.
- Sound balancing is off. Can barely hear the audio of the car.


Before you Buy:
- Please for the love of all that is holy, do not buy this game. If achievements are anything to go by, 87.8% of players finished the first mission. 43% of players finished the second.
- If you are interested in jumping into the Saints Row series, get\play Saints Row 3, 4 and Gat out of Hell.
- If you're looking for a game with less story and more action, a good alternative to the series would be Just Cause 2 and 3.

It wasn't so bad how people say.

Funny story which feels like Family Guy, very good gun play and action.

I just have one complaint and that's that I'm not able to reload while rolling.

On a ryzen 7 5700g and a 6750xt and get over 100+ fps on all ultra settings 1080 with no bugs, lag spikes or any other "claims" of bad performance and optimization. I really enjoy this game and recommend you try it out too. 3$ on ♥♥♥ and ngl best 3$ Ive spent. you do have to understand this is a reboot and not a continuation so give them some slack they did a really good job making a saints game feel like a saints game. Tons of cool animations and lots and lots of collectibles. unlike farcry games or "outposty" games they mix up the formula a lot by making most of what you do dynamically app based which is alright. the added ability to customize almost every little of color on something is really cool.
