The dance sequence...

8/10 A tier. Very fun but very repetitive. Kind of like the DS3 of the saints series in that it references the older games allot and has some of the best things in the series but is not as solid as those other games. Obviously DS3 is on another level but it's kind of the same thing. The selection of characters is probably the best out of all of the games. The romance options are crazy, just perfect. Easily has the best weapons and I love how far over the top it goes but it ultimately feels way to easy and much less solid as the other games. Progression is just not nearly as well done in this game, you basically become so insanely strong you can just run past enemies and instantly kill them.

The powers are really fun but pretty much break the game, I do love the whole matrix thing and all the sci-fi references but it did get a bit old near the end. The world itself is really basic, pretty much just a place to run around in. The fight with the player characters of SR2 was great, all the gangs returning was good too. It did just make me think about how SR2 was better but it's not a big deal. I loved the nightmare prison part, just so great. Shaundi's was easily the best and most interesting but I loved the vice king guys one. The spy woman's one literally stole my idea of facing yourself! It wasn't executed that well though as it was in a basic spy parody and you and your doppleganger had the preset face which was really disappointing. I'm so glad Gats back.

Pretty much the face of the saints and saints row 3 was definitely worse for not having him in much. There is the brute gat but that doesn't really count. The final boss was ok, nothing special and not nearly as great as the choice finale of saints row 3. Loved becoming emperor of the universe and the awful dance scene at the end. The Christmas dlc was good but really short, enter the dominatrix was great and had a great boss at the end, just wish it wasn't so meta.

In all saints row 4 is really fun but is definitely not my favorite saints game, was really enjoyable and I think the selection of characters might be the best but the gameplay gets really old after a while. A really fun game that definitely has a lot of flaws but is still exceptionally fun.
