Saints Row IV: Re-Elected

First off; Saints Row 3 or the much more recent reboot of the series is a better time. I think it's more fun and more compelling. But I don't think IV was really MEANT to be compelling. I think it was a dumb game then and continues to be a dumb game that's worth the play if you've played the rest of the Saints Row legacy games. It's a RIDICULOUS and charmingly stupid game with super powers. I also enjoy the general art direction of the game and its franchise. That being said HUGE WARNING FLAG HERE; When I bought this recently (2026) for a romp through nostalgia for funsies... I realized that I had played the entire thing back in 2013 when it released. I didn't have ANY specific memories of it beforehand, just that I had fun as a kid. So that's not a good sign. I think it was a mistake to play this before replaying the other Saints games. It IS NOT A GAME TO BE PLAYED STANDALONE. There are a ton of references that only work if you are familiar with 1-3. The gameplay is rough. It's not that it isn't fun, once you get the hang of super powers it's great to jump around Steelport and rip through low tier enemies on Sandbox.. The problem comes from special enemies and the actual missions. I have never remembered a game that HATES ITS OWN POWER MECHANICS. Every other mission and every other enemy does its best to negate or take away the powers you spend the majority of the game upgrading. It's really rough to go from Flash-level speed to normal human sprint speed with no fly/jumps, so you suddenly feel it when it happens. It makes a lot of sense how its all approached because it's a simulation, but it's not FUN. And then finally, it's worth saying, this game takes really dated pot shots at science fiction games that were more popular (and better made). There's a couple of cute references, but there are awkward moments where it feels like that one friend who still works at the local gas station making fun of the one who owns their own business and volunteers to build houses for puppies. You know he's making the occasional witty point, but it just feels like punching in the wrong direction. Especially when the glitches and controls glitch so frequently (I had the disembodied head of the BBEG stuck to my hand through the credit sequence, as a funnier example). I cannot highly recommend the game, but I do think it's a fun (very brief) sojourn IF you've played the other Saints Row games recently.

Fun game
