As a series, Saints Row didn’t just jump the shark. It jumped entire skyscrapers. What started off as a tongue-in-cheek GTA clone morphed into a superpowered action game where cars became obsolete unless you were booting them at someone. It had more of an identity crisis than I did when I first loaded up the new Saints Row’s character creator.
Developer Volition has solved this by taking the Saints back to the start. It’s Saints Row reimagined in a new rags to riches story for our current times.
