Saints Row 4 is coming out in a few months, and today we got a small hint at what we can expect from the title when it's released. Although hidden in the Steam client and on the website, you can use SteamDB to go through the Steam registry and find a page for Saints Row Episode 4. In the past few days, the achievements for that game have been added to that database entry.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
looks fun! just like the third one day 1 for sure
It'll be a bargain bin buy just like, The Third. I wish they would have stuck with the formula of the first and second game. Not make 1. Good. 2 Better. and then 3 smaller with less features.
I hope there's lots of sexist achievements, just to annoy all beta male sociology students.
Achievements leaked already? Quite early!
