Solid, not Groundbreaking
Seeing other reviews, I'm relieved that I'm not the only one suffering performance issues. This game drops frames HARD, especially in the open world. If you can play a game at 20-30 FPS , these issues will most likely not be a problem, but don't expect anything over 30 FPS. However, visuals really are where this game falters hard for me. Nothing has changed since Saints Row 3. The graphics are exactly the same after 6 years which isn't the bad part, to be honest. The bad part is that the game map is exactly the same: Steelport. The alien infrastructure is nowhere near enough to hide the fact that Steelport is still Steelport. The narrative makes the Steelport you occupy even more bland. With the new powers that allow you to jump over buildings, glide across the city, and run up walls, a bland, tired city is massively disappointing. Unfortunately, the game takes another hit from me, though this one isn't very fair. I was a younger person when SR3 came out, so fewer of the jokes from SR4 landed well and didn't feel as subversive as it did 6 years ago. But, there are still some comedic gems in there, and the dialogue can actually be pretty riveting at times. The gameplay is a mixed bag. I actually quite like a lot of the superpowers. The upgrades make it the game ridiculously fun, and still somewhat of a challenge (play this on Hardcore if you want any challenge at all). People talk a lot about how cars are made obsolete by the supersprint, but late-game, guns become obsolete too. Superpowers are just that strong, especially when every enemy is an unsatisfying bullet sponge. Still, it is hard to overstate just how much FUN the powers can be. Also, the new health pick-up system I found to be a definite improvement over health regen, and enemy mobs, though less diverse, are a bit more fun to beat than in SR3. The campaign has a few problems, but nothing terrible. Perhaps a bit tedious, but the main story remains just as comical and exuberant as SR3. Solid, but a letdown.
