Likewise, new texture and model updates make this game something acceptable for this modern age, right down to the shiny shine of armor and decals. The lighting effects have done wonders in making the environments more pleasant as opposed to the dull presentation of yesteryear. Many of these improvements were detailed in our tech review, but suffice it to say that you are looking at a more lively and amazing Steelport to look at. Visually, it cannot be denied that Saints Row: the third remastered managed to eclipse the original in every way imaginable. You will find yourself lost but entertained, and that’s a good thing. Still, that’s what the series (or rather the whole genre) is known for: multiple missions that pushed the story forward, but almost limitless things to do, leading you to explore the massive map and all the possibilities. The antics never stop and it’s easy to get sidetracked from your goals. Do you want to do a mission with Pierce or Shaundi? Yes you can, but why not complete some side missions like taking part in Professor Genki’s deadly TV show or picking an assassination target and smashing them with a golf cart? How about buying various businesses to make money or just flying through the air on a witch’s jet or broomstick? Does that sound appealing to you?

Saints Row: the third remasteredThe strength of comes from the fact that the open world sandbox leads to countless activities and wacky moments. You know you can skip the tale once you see masked luchador gangsters, evil strippers, over-the-top villains, crazy stunts, and sex toys turned into weapons. However, although the overall arc may be shallow, Saints Row: the third remastered more than makes up for it with crazy shenanigans and crass humor that reaches whole new levels of ridicule. Yet if we’re going to dive into the countryside, then this is our favorite crew taking on the Syndicate and their cohorts for control of Steelport. Having played the original and the fourth game in the series – yes, I skipped Saints Row: the third when it was first released in 2011 – it goes without saying that history was never the franchise’s selling point.
