Saints Row IV: Re-Elected

Saint's Row always gets negative hype because they expect it to be just like the GTA series. While I am not a fan of the ultra-liberal views of the newest installment of the series, all the previous series are great. The only thing I don't like about number 4 and 3 is that they don't have the level of car customization that number 2 had. I love the over-the-top story and the insane abilities that you get in the games and as long as you play this game having in mind that this isn't GTA then you'll have a blast. I would honestly give many games that aren't highly reviewed a chance because I look for unique ideas and gameplay format. Modern day gaming is built around the premise of appealing to the largest target audience as possible and today's gamers tend to follow the herd when it comes to opinions. Take for example The Technomancer. It isn't a game that is highly reviewed because of its difficulty and clunkiness of combat animations, but it is a game that has great combat mechanics that allows you to fight in three main styles at any given time, which is something that most modern games fail to do. So, even if games like this and The Technomance don't get raving reviews, give it a chance, because you can most likely get these game for 3-5 dollars from a key store and that's a whole hell of alot cheaper than spending $60 on something like Avowed only to be thoroughly dissappointed in the long run. This iteration of Saint's Row doesn't have graphics on the level of GTA V but it has many different activities and an interesting over-the-top gameplay that allows you to decimate hordes of aliens all the while you are trapped in a simulation trying to figure a way out for you and your companions. As a gamer who is almost 40, trust me when I say I am almost always satisfied when I give a game that the masses disparaged a chance. Sadly, Volition isn't a functioning entity anymore due to their terminal Woke-mindedness but at least you'll get to experience a game series that defined the beginning of high-level gaming (aka the Xbox360/PS3 era.

So many people will claim over and over that Saints Row III is the best one in the series and completely forget or dismiss this one, yes it uses the same map, and the graphics don't change a lot but other than that they could not be more different. This game is even more over the top, you start by becoming the president of the USA and 10 minutes later the earth doesn't exist anymore.

The humor is stronger than ever, the gameplay is refined to a T, customization is excelent once again, everything available just makes you want to keep playing the game until nothing's left to do. The only downside is once you finish everything the world is dead. no events, no enemies, nothing.

Decided to come back and play this and had awful performance and some asinine Epic Games popup that just... keeps popping up. If you already have this game and would like it unruined, listen closely:

Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation: sriv_legacy

Apparently somebody knew this update was just giving the game cancer for no reason, so they've kept the old version around. Good work, whoever that was, and shame on the headassed idiot that decided to literally plonk obnoxious malware on top of Saints Row IV.

Enshittification ensues. Underrated fun game though, go play it on an old console that Epic can't just pay to ruin games on.

Why would you ruin a good game by implementing an unwanted third party worm is beyond me. Screw epic games

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is what happens when someone mods The Matrix with a can of energy drinks, a dubstep gun, and zero respect for physics. You’re not just the President of the United States—you’re a superpowered maniac in a simulation, punching aliens in the face while wearing nothing but patriotic boxers. It’s like Grand Theft Auto got hit in the head, watched too many action movies, and decided to save the world with sheer ridiculousness.

Great game, and series i love playing these kind of classic games. Personally love 4 the best out of all of them, but that just my opinion. If you are looking for a game with combat and some magic involved this would defenitly do it for you.

Can't play the game anymore without Epic interrupting every 10 seconds lmao what a waste of a life being born in this generation where nothing is sacred because studios and companies are ran by babies needing SOMEONE'S attention and an easy paycheck.

This game is different and not as fun as Saints Row 3.
I'd rather be a gang boss than a president who shoots at aliens.
Force the installation of Epic Store, wtf.

couple years back i would very much recommend this game. tried booting it up now to mess with the character creator and its loading is so bad. my computer is not a bad one, i can run ultra on cyberpunk. so the fact this is NOW chugging? cause years ago it ran just fine! the only difference is the now required DRM from epic game store screwing it over!

Big middle finger to epic!
VEEEERY big middle finger to epic!

Shoo! Shoo!
Git!

Years ago when I purchased this game, it is been okay, but now it requires to have Epic Games app, to play this game, and a account of epic games to make multiplayer work, but at least you no need any games to have on the Epic's side.

Re-elected update completely broke the game, only starts half the time and when it starts it almost always immediately crashes.

It's a fun Saint's Row game but it's definitely does not match the magic of the first or second

8.5/10 – Saints Row IV
Ridiculous in all the right ways. You’re the President with superpowers fighting aliens in a simulation—what more could you want? The story is wild, the powers are fun, and the humor is nonstop. It reuses a lot from SR3, but the sheer chaos and charm more than make up for it. If you want serious, look elsewhere. If you want to sprint up buildings and dropkick aliens, this is your game.

as of april 2025, by default, epic games online services gets installed automatically.

game is pretty good but despite only playing solo/singleplayer i still need both internet connection and epic games connection

yes and no because its not for kids but im ten and ive played it ever since and it has a good story line but its got nudity but its fine with me so talk about it with your child for intreast but who ever reads this send it to all parents for them to check before purchasing please and thank you.

VERY different game from Saints Row: The Third, but in a fun superhero kind of way. Still crass, still irreverent, still off the wall. Love the chaos.

Requires 3rd-Party Account: Epic Online Services (required for Cross-Platform Play) 

"Saints Row IV is the only game where I became president, punched an alien overlord, and got life advice from Keith David—HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Game is awesome in general, but.

From time to time is loses connection to servers or whatever it is and because of that quest progres is not saved, meaning it forces you back to main menu after quest competion without saving your progress. I had to redo some quests, and some of them were quite long, this is extremely frustrating.

This is the Fallout 4 of the Saints rRow series. Good gameplay and has a ton of moddability (for legacy version that is), however the story may leave you feeling dissappointed if you came from the previous games which had a serious overall storyline that wasn't nearly as off the rails. Check out the saintsrowmods website, a lot of good stuff there

Old game.
But fun. Worth it for the price IMO

This "remaster" has more issues than SR3's original release. Couldn't play Co-op with my friend because of the constant glitches and disconnections. It wasn't our internet connections either since we've been playing together for over a decade.

it's good, not the best in the franchise however if you like goofiness, action and superpowers, this is the game for you.

great story and the power system makes the game feel way more fast paced

whoever was in charge of a lot of these absolutely retarded story missions should be tortured and lobotomized repeatedly

They were paid by Epic Games to alter and make the game unplayable without logging into Epic Services.
This should be banned or delisted on steam.
When I bought this game I could play this but now with epic services integration it is totally unplayable. I did not realise EpicGames could pay to brick games on steam.

While the game can be all good fun, especially in co-op, it cannot save the story or dialogues.

Repetitive missions and side objectives, alongside too many collectables, just pad out what results in mediocre game play.

Not to mention that the Epic Games service, seemed to have been added years after the game release, just made everything so much worse. Performance seems to have taken a hit, and co-op game play has been kneecapped (frequent disconnections make some missions utterly unplayable). Switching to the legacy version in the beta branch does nothing to alliviate these issues, and in fact you would lose access to the DLC's.

It's sad to see a fine game go down like this, but hey I guess Volition needed that Epic Games money back then before bankruptcy.

Just stick to Saints Row 2 (With Juiced Patch) and Saints Row 3.

Avoid this game at all costs, not even worth on a heavy discount.

Needs Epic Online Services to launch, and this game pre-dates EpicGames Store.
Not really a big deal for me, but game is at 6fps now.

Seems like Steam has a legacy version: Properties>Beta>Legacy. But it redownloads the whole game which i don't want to do.

The only Saints Row game I've played, and honestly really fun. I had a great time with it.

Finished this game through twice. Was fun both times. Would do it again!

F**king epic games BS!

I LOVED Saints Row 4 and the previous games in the series. Good, wholesome, crazy fun and great gameplay. I wanted to replay it after a long while and it has epic installer and other BS baked in to it now.

A popup screen randomly opens while you're interacting with menus or playing the actual game, asking you to register or confirm your epic account or enter your date of birth. You can close the window with an X on the top-right but it keeps showing up periodically. It's completely immersion breaking and unskippable because it will... keep... showing... up. I don't understand why epic needs to screw up older games. This treasure is completely unplayable now. I'm on Linux using Proton and the game runs flawlessly but I can't disable the epic BS.

I won't even capitalise their name anymore.

F**k epic.

Let's add ubisoft towers to our game! for no reason! GENIUS!

and make the controls hair-trigger and you can fly off the tower in .005 seconds of inattention

Any game where I can play a character voiced by Nolan North and beat someone to death with a giant purple dildo in my BDSM gear after throwing a car at a cop with my mind is a game I'm going to like.

I loved this game, now I can't play this game. The game keeps telling me I don't have enough storage space despite the fact that I have over 400GB of hard drive space available. When did this happen? When did Epic games add a boot strapper, the whole thing is fucked now.

Saints Row 4 was a great game when it came out. Now it has Epic Games built into it, for some ungodly reason. It pops up every 20 seconds in game, asking me to confirm my account details. You can hit cancel, you can close the window, you can even go into the task manager and stop every EPIC related task...and it will pop up again in 20 seconds. Oh and even when you close it, your controls lock up when you re-enter the game. If you were in the middle of driving and you need to avoid a sudden turn? You're locked into driving forward for just long enough to slam into the building you could've easily avoided.

I can't even go back and play the old version of SR4 without this crap. I WOULD return the game at this point if I could. I never signed up for this. And the game I loved is unplayable now.

A Presidential game with a track called "Donald Trump Walk" aged like the finest of wines- 45-47

Good fun, the Crackdown sequel we never really got. Some of the humour is dated but other bits still work. Better than SR3 and possibly SR1, not as good as the GOAT SR2.

Unplayable after all. The game has been terribly ported and the performance is very inconsistent. Forever loading, frequently crashing, consistently lacking, keeping asking if you want to connect to EPIC store, just pick your poison. Even my Lossless Scaling program refuses to work with it. Every single time I started scaling, the program closed itself automatically. Well, even the yellow duck does not want to work with this game!

Besides these poor performances, the game itself is 'OK'. Not too good, but also not too bad. It is a fun game that you can just sit back and enjoy. Forget everything you have perceived from Saints Row 2 and 3. In this game, you are just superhuman fighting with aliens. You don't need a gun or car anymore. Your abilities will be their replacement. It completely loses a sense of whatever Saints Row 2 and 3 gave you. So, don't expect it to be a perfect sequel. It's just something new.

Update broke the game. Freezes and crashes all the time. Deadass

good game, like real life, the villain was british (no hate to the brits, I am one, it’s just fact) cool cars, fast running, the president, missiles, 10/10

wow. this is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously do not buy this, One of the worst ports I have ever played, the performance is terrible and inconsistent, full of weird bugs that don't make sense that weren't in the original, i have 1.9 hours in this version, ALL OF IT was in the introduction due to crashed. Oh and in case you thought "oh i don't care about a few performance issues i'll get SR4 with workshop support!" well you'll be disappointing to learn they BROKE it with updates, basically all clothing mods will crash your game, i feel like i should have been paid for playing this joke.

Saints Row IV is pure madness and nothing but madness! It's over-the-top, ridiculous, and incredibly fun. If you're in the mood for chaos, crazy powers, and wild missions, I highly recommend it!

The game is absolutely fun, non-sensical and cool. I didn't understand the story for about 80% of the game.
Last time I played, I tried playing coop, but for unknown reasons my friend could either not join or simply not stay in the game.
7/10 reduced my score for the lack of coop gameplay I experienced.

As much as I hate to say it, this game is fun. But this is NOT SAINTS ROW. I am the person who started with Saints Row 2, and loved it so much. Played Saints Row 1, it's hard but still good. Then went to Saints Row 3, and it wasn't too good, and then went to this and went, "what did they do to Saints Row? What the heck is this?".

But...the game is till very fun and enjoyable. But I will say it again, it is not Saints Row and I refuse to say this is Saints Row. This is The Matrix: The Game with silly humor.

Good game, i've always played this game whenever i don't have internet. And i tell you it don't dissapoints.

When I give no input on my xbox controller makes the game auto fire gun. I've tried multiple fixes but this game is unplayable on controller. No other game I've played has this issue.

Yes it is a dumb game. Does that make it bad? Hell no! This game has very fun abilities to mess with. Doesn't deserve the flack it gets.
