Dumb, honest "superhero" fun.
I wasn't a huge fan of Saints Row 3, but Saints Row 4 remedies essentially all issues I had with its predecessor. SR3 tried really hard to have the grittiness of the previous games alongside off-the-rails whackiness, while this entry does at no point take itself seriously. Yet, somehow, it has substantially better writing. The characters receive more development and have actual personalities, the arcs are tied off rather nicely. The jokes are funny and land. It's actually quite charming and I found myself attached to everyone once more. The superpowers are naturally the big addition to this game, and damn, are they fun. A valid criticism that I have heard is that they are so powerful that other aspects of the game are greatly nerfed and, frankly, useless. Guns still have their uses, but most people won't find themselves using cars unless they force themselves to. The ability to run, jump, and glide across the cityscape is simply too tempting to bother yourselves with the otherwise impressive vehicle customization that carried on from SR3. Quite the design overlook, but I can't be too bothered. Being a superpowered force of destruction is exhilirating. It's dumb, honest fun, far better than the arrogant attitude of Saints Row 3. There are plenty of side missions and activities, all of them fun and weird. I completed 100% of them (not the whole game), so I'd say the devs did a good job. Couple that with rewards that always build towards more, you've got an addicting loop. Graphically, the game isn't particularly impressive for the time, but it works for the most part. Especially when you consider the gliched out graphics that commonly occur here. The selection of music is quite good, and the ability to turn on radio anywhere is much appreciated. I would say that Saints Row 2 is the best SR game, but this one is the most fun. It's simple, but the best way to describe this game. Highly recommend to those looking for a world they can go crazy in.
