Every time Saints Row does something that reminds me how much I love the series, it follows it up with an issue that makes me frustrated with it. As much as I enjoy the gameplay and getting lost in Santo Ileso, the structural problems, both in open world game design and under the hood, make this a tough one to stick with. There are highlights, like losing track of time in how much fun a Saints Row game can be, but it’s lost under a pile of bugs and glitches.
Saints Row is a comedy-filled open-world game set in the fictional city of Stilwater. As the main character, you start off as an uninvolved bystander in a gang conflict, but quickly become embroiled and join the Third Street Saints. The game tasks you with going to war against three rival gangs - Los Carnales, the Westside Rollers, and the Vice Kings - in order to gain status and take over the city. Both single-player and multiplayer modes are available.
