Saints Row on PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Saints Row might be one of the most interesting games I’ve played in the past decade. On the one hand, its story and characters leave a lot on the table. On the other hand, the sheer chaos of its gameplay is enthralling enough that things kind of balance out and make the reboot feel worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story begins with a rather relatable narrative for many these days, as we’re introduced to four roommates, including the protagonist, that need to do whatever they can in order to make rent – and all with no health insurance. The neat part is that each of these characters are friends, despite being on different paths of life and having varying interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neenah loves cars and works for the gang known as Los Panteros. Kev is all about the Gym and having a good time and is a part of The Idols. Eli is the brains and wants to start his own business. The Boss, your character, signs on with Marshall Defense Industries to make some cash and use their murder skills without going to jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After completing a few mainline quests, Saints Row gives your character free rein to explore Santo Ileso and all it has to offer. And boy, is there a lot to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beloved side missions like Mayhem and Insurance Fraud are back, and there’s also some crazy new ones to enjoy like Riding Shotgun, Boot Hill, and the Wanted App. New and old side missions alike all focus on doing as much damage as you can in different ways, which was always what the series did best when compared to its more grounded counterparts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On these adventures, there are also plenty of amazing guns to use, including one that lets you shoot through walls and another that fires boxing gloves that do pretty serious damage. On top of this, regular guns can also be upgraded to have hilarious skins on them, allowing you to turn regular pistols into deadly, vibrant finger guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
