What Ryan Davies thought:
“In all honesty, I never expected to like Saints Row IV. I’d pegged it as a step too far, a little too crazy for its own good. In reality, the game is indeed unashamedly daft, but it’s also clear that Volition have gone to great lengths to make it a game that laughs in the face of normality and does everything it can to make it a fun experience for the player. It has flaws, no doubt; the poor graphics are complemented by sadly unoriginal gameplay and an uninspired setting. What it lacks, however, Saints Row IV certainly makes up for in pure fun factor. I’ve never laughed so much with a game before, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so shocked by one either. There’s just so much lunacy in one space, it’s hard not to fall for the Saints Row charm.”
