Granted, I'm not the biggest fan of Saints Row. I loved the first two games, but Saints Row 3 and onwards completely lost me. The identity of this series always felt a bit unclear, with Saints Row 2 ultimately being the peak of what Saints Row could've been. It was wacky and a bit slapstick, but it still felt grounded to a certain extent. And while the Game Awards trailer had me looking forward to this reboot, actually playing the game was a different story.
This plays more like Saints Row 3 and Just Cause 4, but with stiff gameplay, a boring campaign, and an unbearable story. I will admit that I like the art direction and the environmental design. The open world - while nothing special - is fairly nice to roam around in, even if it feels lifeless at times. But once you start playing through the main content, it all just falls apart.
The combat feels outdated and stiff. The mission design lacks excitement. The story is uninteresting and the script is horrendous.
If this is the new age of Saints Row, then this franchise is truly not for me.

Essentially an action-comedy with some entertaining dialogue, but also a story structure that doesn't flow all too well for me.
I just wish the story was a bit more focused on the brothers, because their story starts off quite promising, becomes boring throughout, then gets interesting at the end again.
This movie is really about Willem Dafoe's character, and honestly, the movie is a bore without him.

It's a suspenseful and gruesome watch that doesn't sugarcoat its violent nature.
The "story" is designed to be a lengthy and thorough scenario/situation - where characters are developed through very subtle language or actions, and the effect of friendly casualties is at the center.
There's no typical character arcs, no clear antagonist, or conventional story structures here. In other words, this is a different type of war movie.
