Characters don’t just exist for one-liners and plot convenience, but they feature arcs like out of a BioWare game. More than ever before, your customizable character has an arc and is built to fit a specific mold. A game about delinquent criminals striving to craft their own DIY empire realistically shouldn’t have this much heart, nor does a game with this much bite manage to still make you care about its world. The constant tug of war between despair and striving for a better world. There have been several games now trying to capture that pickles-and-milk contradictory vibe of optimism, empathy, cynicism, and nihilistic shrugging that is my generation’s whole thing. Yeah, it’s not exactly what anyone expected from the Saints Row reboot, but in the strangest turn of events… Saints Row gets it. Joe hero, fought hackers as a toilet, and became President of the United States?įace the existential dread of modern Millennial life, of course!
What do you do after you’ve gone to Hell, fought aliens, served as a knock-off G.I. Volition has been trying to figure out what to do with Saints Row for nearly a decade at this point.
