So it should come as no surprise that I don?t. In other words, it would take a lot for me to dislike the game now that Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package has arrived on the Switch.
It didn?t just poke fun at GTA-style open-world action games, it was smart (well, smart-ish) and fun enough to play around with genre tropes while simultaneously delivering one of the best experiences the genre had to offer. SRIV is definitely my preferred of the two on account of the fact it allows you to transform into a literal superhero, but Saints Row: The Third isn?t that far behind. I have no interest in either Saints Row or Saints Row 2 (to me, they felt too much like second-rate GTA clones), I found Gat Out of Hell to be a buggy, ugly mess, and the less said about Agents of Mayhem, the better.īut Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV…as far as I?m concerned, those two games were more than enough to make up for whatever shortcomings the other four may have had.
I?ll always have a soft spot for the Saints Row franchise - which is kind of astounding, considering I don?t care for four of the six games that fall within that broad category.
