Yet, this hasn't stopped Volition from making five of them if you include the current reboot.īesides, if you played 2013's Saints Row 4 and its 2015 standalone expansion, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, the reboot is in much better shape. The older games enjoyed Metacritic scores of somewhere around the 60s to the 70s. Unlike the Grand Theft Auto games, Saints Row was never a critical darling. We recommend that you give it a try instead of believing critics. Saints Row might already be out today, depending on where you're from. You'll want to give the new Saints Row a chance if you liked its predecessors. Here's a round-up of what critics are saying about Saints Row:ĭon't let the critics decide for you. With a 64 Metacritic score, Saints Row has one of the lowest scores of a AAA video game in recent memory and it's far from where you'd expect what should have been one of the best GTA clones to land. We'll have to wait for what audiences have to say about the Saints Row reboot.

Again, my personally belief is that the scores are being a bit too harsh on the game, given my playtime with it, but I’m just one critic against the tide on this one. Here’s how the other mainline games scored in the past:Įven the DLCs like Re-Elected (765) and Gat out of Hell (64) are hitting better numbers overall than the Saints Row reboot.
This is also the worst scoring Saints Row game in the franchise by quite a wide margin. A 30% scoring movie on Rotten Tomatoes may still hit #1 on Netflix or at the box office, but a 30/100 game on Metacritic is a dumpster fire no one will touch. While movies and TV shows can be hits despite low scores on places like Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes, in the video game realm, game success is usually more closely linked to scores, and a badly scoring game has a much greater chance to do worse compared to higher scoring counterparts.
