I got this game for free in Epic December Christmas drop. The game is so bad that it caused Volition that made the Saint Rows game to shut down. The previous Saints Row games were really fun. The first time I played the Saints Row franchise, I thought it was a parody of GTA games and I loved it for it. This reboot took all the wacky fun elements of the game. The map is riddled with the same things to do everywhere. The four enemy factions are no fun. Boss fights never feel like boss fight. When we kill the brother of the Idol duo there is no reaction from the sister or any rage while fighting. Boss battles are boring. The game has no physics at all and all the side contents are boring. After so much time there are still some bugs. The game is so bad that they made a re-release trailer on Youtube with the DLCs. Don't waste your time playing this game. Its really sad that this was the end of Saints Row franchise.

Boring game filled with bugs

Belum pernah main series game ini sebelumnya, jadi ini pertama kalinya main game dengan judul Saints Row. Anyway, gue baru aja selesai main gamenya yang menurut gue sih ini game open world yang menyenangkan yaaa. First impression gue soal film ini sih yaa fun, ringan tapi juga menarik dari segi cerita yang bikin gue suka dan ingin nyelesain aja semua misinya. Oh iya gue hanya tamatin dari misi utamanya aja, side quest sama sekali ga dikejar karena emang mau cari story utama nya aja.  Untuk segi lainnya seperti music scoring, view, graphic udah top top banget lah cocok. Well, disamping semua kekerenan itu, masih ada lah ya banyak bug, glitch yang gue rasakan pas lagi main, bikin gue merasa gak nyaman aja. Banyak gameplay yang terasa "dimudahkan" dari developer mungkin biar bantu kelar aja dah ini mission, gitu kali ya soalnya banyak banget scene gameplay yang tidak masuk akal yang gue sendiri pas main kek aduh gak bisa nih gagal, eh ternyata bisa sendiri... oh yaudah lanjutin aja lah untung gak mati.... jadinya ga ngulang hahahaha. So far, it's an Okaaaay but still memorable, really.

Saints Row

The Saints Row franchise has always been synonymous with over-the-top open-world mayhem, offering a GTA-like experience with its crazy antics, mindless shooting, and humor-laden dialogues. This reboot of Saints Row retains that signature charm, and my adventure with it on the PS5, courtesy of the September PS Plus offering, was a rollercoaster of a time.

One aspect of this game that I genuinely enjoyed was the extensive customization options. The level of personalization you can bring to your character is nothing short of amazing. It's clear that the developers put effort into improving this aspect. But the pleasant surprise didn't stop there. The main campaign story, which unexpectedly gave off a western vibe, had its moments of brilliance. The final act, in particular, left a positive impression. My focus was mainly on the main story, which clocked in at around 20 hours of gameplay.

However, there's a glaring issue that can't be overlooked: the lack of polish. Saints Row still harbors a plethora of bugs, including some game-breaking ones that can be immensely frustrating. As a player who's experienced Saints Row 4, I couldn't help but appreciate its more polished predecessor. I sincerely hope the developers invest time in resolving these issues.

In terms of graphics, Saints Row shines on the PS5. The game offers various graphic modes, allowing you to choose between 1080p, 1440p, and 4K depending on your monitor. The vibrant colors of the western landscapes, especially during sunsets, are a sight to behold.

Ultimately, Saints Row has taken up the role of my "filler" game as I eagerly play titles like Starfield and Baldur's Gate. While it may have its rough edges, it served as a decent distraction to ease my frustration over StarField.

Wasted Potential

Iiii

You all remember when Cyberpunk 2077 came out as an unfinished buggy mess but with some potential?

Saints Row is exactly that but with no potential at all. Feels like this game was supposed to come out before Saints Row 3 with how bad everything looks and feels. Don't get this game you will only encourage more negative behaviour from developers who think its okay to release unfinished games.
