So, Saints Row is back this week after a fairly long hiatus since Saints Row IV first arrived on the scene in 2013. Volition's attempt at rebooting the series doesn't seem to have gone down all that well, although the wide range of review scores suggests some folks are having fun with it.
Of course, first and foremost Saints Row is a sandbox playground and the reboot seems to deliver on that mantra, even with the fair share of bugs, glitches and other problems present in the game at launch.
Still, if messing about in a big dumb open world with even bigger, dumber characters is your kind of thing, you might be tempted to jump into the new Saints Row, especially in a year full of AAA delays where pretty much every big release has shifted to 2023, it seems.
If you're interested, here's what we thought of the game in our review:

Only interested if it hits Game Pass.
After this review and other mixed receptions, definitely made me hold off on it. Maybe at a price drop. Or better yet, if it ever comes to Game Pass.
Looks terrible...
Only on a very deep sale after all the mixed reviews
Waste of money. Even on a sale. I've seen Gameplay of it on YouTube. It looks very outdated and just super boring.
After several patches and a price drop I may consider it.
I assume ALL AAA games are Garbage until proven otherwise. Works very well. Find my self playing and enjoying Indie games more and more.
If its on Gamepass might give it a go.
My backlog is so large at this point, a game has to look "great" for me to be interested in playing it.
This.......doesn't appear to meet that criteria.
Nope. Seems so dated and un-Saint's Row
Looks like the sort of thing that I would never want.
Nope. If it got great reviews, I might’ve considered it, but I was barely interested in it before the bad reviews. With Hogwarts getting delayed, I was actually considering the game, but I’m now I’m glad to just hop back to Xenoblade and a few smaller games.
It looked ropey and boring from the day it was announced, so no.
Not at the moment, I have to do my Tomb Raider and other games 😃.
And when Hogwarts comes out, I might spend a lot of time on it, so Saints Row will have to wait 😄
Once it get several patches and a deep sale I'll get it. To bad they ruined this.
Hell no, as bad as 3 and 4 were compared to SR 1 and 2, this seems even worse and further removed from what the series used to be. I've seen plenty of gameplay videos and it's an easy miss especially with far better games dropping over the next few months. It's a shame how things went because I really did love the first 2 SR games then it was all downhill.
I’d rather pick up herpes
I was never interested… I only clicked this article because I like participating in polls lol.
Nope. Liked 3, loved 4 but this does not do it for me.
As a fan is the series I will definitely be picking it up, however with its dodgy performance and high price tag I'm very happy to get a cheaper and more polished game down the line, maybe even 12 months from now, maybe earlier depending on how deep the sale is.
I got it on day one edition, Its great a few bugs but it remembers like the 1st game. gangs and buying property. No silliness.
@Cyberpunk1964 yup I’m enjoying it too
