You slowly take over the city from its existing power structures, largely by killing lots of people or performing Jackass episode-level sabotage activities. Thus, while there’s nothing as wild as a gun that fires weaponized dubstep, you can still skin your grenade launcher so that it fires beer cans instead (and that’s one of the tamer options).Īt the core, it would be fair to call the new Saints Row an evolution more than a reboot the setting and characters are new, but the core gameplay elements haven’t changed. Rather, it exists at the midpoint between the slightly more straight-laced Saints Row 2 and the left-field slapstick turn of Saints Row: The Third. In terms of scale, this new incarnation of the series isn’t quite as bonkers as its immediate predecessors - after all, in the first couple hours of Saints Row 4, they blow up the Earth. The Boss of the newly formed Saints solves every problem that comes their way in a straight-line fashion: There’s you, there’s the goal, and in most cases, all that’s left of anything in between those two points is a trail of smoking, bleeding, or radioactively green glowing debris. There are probably reasonable human solutions to these problems, but the reboot of Saints Row is a game about telling reasonable to go fuck itself.
