Your Signature Move is charged as you damage enemies through regular means. To mix things up, Saints Row introduces Signature Moves, Perks, and Skills. It is still a third-person shooter with little difficulty in normal settings, no need to use combat, and players can carry a radial wheel full of weapons at a time. Some of the serious moments work, except for the game’s final mission where the emotions fall completely flat.Ĭombat in Saints Row is one of the few areas that the game has tried to modernize from its predecessors. There are ridiculous elements and a light-hearted tone throughout, but there are still moments where it wants to be taken seriously. Instead, it feels a lot more like Saints Row 2.
It never reaches the ridiculous levels of Saints Row: The Third or Saints Row IV, however. How much you’ll enjoy the missions in Saints Row will mostly depend on whether or not you enjoy the series’ sense of humor and its combat. A few of the missions really stand out, but most of them are just serviceable. Missions have fun moments and mechanics, but they never quite hit the sweet spot of the best setpieces throughout the series. The dialogue between the Boss and the roommates is funny just as often as it is banal. With this framework in mind, Saints Row ’s story missions are a mixed bag. The vast majority of the story revolves around the Boss’ relationship with their roommates as they solve everyday problems with explosions, navigate establishing their criminal empire, and make some new friends along the way. The story is centered around the player’s Boss as well as their three roommates Kev, Neenah, and Eli. From there, players are tossed months back in time to see the new origins of the Saints.
The nature of the attack is shrouded in mystery to tantalize the player with the resolution to drive them through the story. The game begins with a brief cutscene showing the player’s character, referred to simply as Boss throughout the game, being ambushed at one of the gang’s parties and being buried alive nearby. It turns out, however, that Saints Row stays very close to its roots, for better and worse. The game’s original reveal left some fans worried about just how far the reboot would stray from the over-the-top power fantasy the series was known for. Reviving a series like Saints Row a decade after its last entry is no easy task, but it is one that the developers at Volition have attempted.
