In another, you’re stealing an item back from a rival gang’s yacht before snatching up a jet ski to speed off with your loot. None of the missions feel overly long, and this creates a nice gameplay loop of “just one more” which is added to by the fact that each mission is starkly different. I had a lot of fun playing through various missions and causing all sorts of mayhem. While there were a number of things that soured me on Saints Row, the gameplay certainly wasn’t one of them. The gameplay of Saints Row is the biggest draw, and is actually quite enjoyable. Welcome to Santo Ileso Santo Ileso is a gorgeous city that's fun to drive around and explore. Less edgy, and lacking much of the spice and flavor of its predecessors. Niche as I know that comparison is, it’s honestly the perfect visual metaphor for what 2022’s Saints Row feels like compared to previous Saints Row titles. It’s a Saints Row game as much as Mitsubishi’s Eclipse Cross is an Eclipse. However, this isn’t the most “Saints Row” of Saints Row games. In fact, there’s plenty of fun to be had in the new Saints Row. It’s not that the game is inherently bad. The first question that popped into my head while playing 2022’s Saints Row is, who is this for? It feels like Saints Row fans weren’t exactly clamoring for a game of this nature (a reboot, rather than new series entry or remake), and during my time with it, there were moments where I felt I was playing something closer to a watered down Grand Theft Auto than Saints Row.
