Especially if you’re on the lookout for some co-op fun. From the perspective of this release being a remaster of an existing game – this feature alone quietly makes it a must-play in 2020. And when you team up with a real-world homie to tackle missions and activities in co-op, it borders on brilliant.īeing able to play an open-world action game in co-op hasn’t become the norm in the years since Saints Row The Third first hit the scene. You can (and should) dress up your fellow Saints NPC “Homies” in gimp suits, which makes their encounters against cyberspace goths look nothing short of hilarious. Crass, sure – but the democratic approach to most of what you see and do is refreshing. The over-the-top and comic tone of the third Saints Row game from developer Volition is fun pure and simple. Which really, tells you all you need to know. Or stand there hitting the bonnet of a supped-up cop car. In that it is a sex toy you can use to beat up members of rival gangs. It makes the last-gen spandex-wearing avatars firing off rockets at gang vehicles and police cars look a little more current.įor the videogame scholars out there, this is the entry that introduced the dildo-bat, a floppy and bright purple melee weapon shaped like a sex toy. Saints Row The Third Remastered brings the fan-favourite back with a shiny coat of remastered paint, one that includes an impressive new lighting engine, updated character models, and fancier special effects. “Saints Row The Third is an experience that drops all pretence of realism, the digital city of Steelport is presented as a sandbox of colourful, comic, and juvenile excess."

Perhaps, said walk was had while wearing a vibrant teal jacket and thong combo.Ī series that was born as a riff or take on the sort of life-of-crime antics found in Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto series finally came into its own.
Being able to customise your Saints leader with shiny metallic skin, some comedic heft, and garish clothing, and then have them walk around pants-less (with accompanying pixel-blur) in the city of Steelport set the tone for an over-the-top open-world action game quite unlike any other. Saints Row The Third, which originally launched in 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, wore this freedom on its sleeve - literally.
Player freedom is often touted as something of a plus, being able to choose a direction, an activity, a mission, or customise your avatar as you see fit.
