Alice B explained in herSaints Row reviewthat Volition’s attempt to reboot their open world shooter was fun, but too derivative to make a lasting impression:
The Saints Row series began in 2006 as an early carjack ‘em up that was unsettlingly similar to its obvious inspiration,Grand Theft Auto, prompting accusations that it was a clone. Volition argued that GTA was a genre - and they were right, in fairness. The series found its own identity in Saints Row 3, which amped up its characters, writing and action setpieces far past the point of absurdity and embraced a joyful silliness.Saints Row 4took things even further and arguably left the series with nowhere to go - making the reboot a decent idea in theory.
