Then again, I’d think that if ever there was a good excuse for raving about a game you haven’t finished, “I was having too much fun with it to even bother trying to stick to the story missions” counts as a pretty good one.īecause seriously, without any hint of hyperbole or exaggeration, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is one of my favourite games ever.

So I’m not talking from the perspective of someone who’s finished the game, if that sort of thing bothers you. A dozen hours into Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, and I’m still roughly where I was with the last-gen version: not anywhere close to being done the game, entirely because of the constant distractions that come along with being a superhuman inside a computer-simulated Steelport. Not that it’s made a huge difference, of course.

It’s probably also worth noting that I never came anywhere close to finishing it last time around, because I was just having too much fun zipping around Steelport with those aforementioned superpowers.Ĭonsequently, I welcomed the opportunity to revisit the game on a current-gen system. If I were to create my ideal video game, in other words, it would probably look a lot like Saints Row IV. For me, every moment of the game was pure joy, an opportunity to run around Steelport with ridiculous superpowers destroying everyone and everything in my path, with the added bonus that the in-game city was set inside a computer simulation, which meant I never had to feel even the slightest twinge of guilt about harming innocent people. I loved Saints Row IV on PS3, probably even more than my esteemed GA colleague did - and he gave that version of the game an A. Not that I consider that to be in any way, shape or form a bad thing, mind you. If you’re hoping for an all-new Saints experience, this isn’t it - you’ll have to look at Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell for that (though I can’t say I recommend doing that). There may be some minor graphical enhancements (allegedly - I have to admit I can’t see much of a difference), and a couple of new vehicles and superpowers, but basically, this is the same game that graced the last gen systems in 2013. Don’t let that “Re-Elected” part of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected’s title fool you.
