This game's ratio is roughly nine agonizing technical hiccups and annoyances for every chuckle-worthy explosion or glitchy physics mishap. Worst of all, should you ignore this advice because you're eager for mindless chaos, steel yourself for a technical and mechanical nightmare. It can't touch the adventurous exploration, satisfying mechanics, and supercharged bombast of 2007's Crackdown, while its hole-filled plot and cookie-cutter characters aren't fun to laugh at, let alone with. Describing this game as a regression to the Xbox 360 era would be an insult to the late 2000s' best open-world adventures.

The Saints Row series emerged in the Xbox 360 era as a cheeky, irreverent response to the likes of Grand Theft Auto.
