Taking a look at the presentation of the game, the visual design is quite stunning! The developers have really invested in making this the best looking Saints Row game. Plus, the upgrades you can get for different vehicles after completing various challenges just adds another layer to the car mechanics.
After all, this isn’t a driving sim… Being able to drift around corners with ease at high speeds is great fun! Slinging your car into others during vehicular combat is really entertaining. And honestly, I think that was an excellent design choice. From the moment you jump into a vehicle, it becomes quite clear that realistic car mechanics were not the focus of this title. Now I know from early gameplay footage that the driving mechanics have been criticised quite heavily! Especially for how arcade-y the driving looked. This is where you “grab an enemy, drop a grenade down their pants, and throw them.” It is absolutely hilarious to see an enemy get hurled through the air, only to fall onto their gang members and explode. There are also new skills available, which aid you in your fight out on the streets. It gives you another way to quickly dispatch your foes when in the middle of a gunfight. The gun combat is really smooth, and the added takedown mechanic is fantastic. This is easily the best feeling Saints Row game in the series. The more serious approach to the narrative is a welcome change! Saints Row’s Combat is Slicker Than Ever These fresh faces have great chemistry between them which lead to many excellent moments throughout the narrative. But honestly, the new crew are really interesting and entertaining.
It did initially seem strange to have a Saints Row title that does not feature the usual cast of characters, such as Johnny Gat and Shaundi. However, this title is in no way intended to be a parody of itself, as Saints Row IV seems to have been. It focuses on a more serious approach in the story telling, but there are still plenty of humorous moments throughout. This narrative is very reminiscent of the early Saints Row games. After some life changing events occur, you and your companions decide to take the world by storm, by starting up The Saints. You’re also stuck in a dingy apartment with three friends, Eli, Neenah and Kevin, who are all working for different gangs. Instead, you begin your journey as a broke student that happens to find a job working for Marshall Defence Industries, a private military corporation. Except this time, you don’t just start out as a member of the Saints. And once again, have to build up your criminal empire. The combat is very slick! Saints Row Goes Back to the Way Things Should Be!Īs has become customary in the Saints Row series, you take on the role of Boss, or Playa if you prefer.
