Thanks to Steams free weekend of Saints Row IV, Vault of the Gameverse has finally checked it out! They have found it to be surprisingly more entertaining and overall better than Saints Row 3. It looks a lot like it's predecessor but turns out to be much better.
Don't miss out on your chance to try it for yourself free for the weekend on Steam right now!
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.
This game came out ages ago and they're doing first impressions because of the free weekend? Gameverse "has finally checked it out?" SR4 has been on sale numerous times for dirt cheap and these stingy people still wait for a free weekend to play?
