É um jogo bem mediano, a história achei bem fraca e não me prendeu em nada, o que me fez terminar o game foi a jogabilidade que é legalzinha, mas não passa disso. Quem tiver a oportunidade de jogar em algum serviço de assinatura e não tiver mais nada pra jogar, talvez valha a tentativa.

Saints Row is the latest entry in the action-adventure video game series created by Volition and published by THQ and Deep Silver. This game was released in 2022. and due to negative reviews Volition shut down in August 2023. and the IP was transferred to Plaion.
You are taking control of the boss to create a new criminal empire led by The Saints in Santo Ileso. Along with that, you have three other companions (Neenah, Kev and Eli) to help you achieve that.
*Note: Since this is the first Saints Row game I've played, I will not be able to compare it to previous titles nor I don't know what is the set standard for a Saints Row game.
Also, I won't be able to say anything about the coop features this game offers since I didn't have the possibility to try them.
I already knew about all the backlash towards this game, but I wanted to try it anyway, having low expectations. At first, I was amazed by the game, but the more I played it, the more issues, bugs and unrealistic features I encountered.
Vehicles having a health bar is okay, but somehow you don't take any damage except visual when you crash into a vehicle on purpose, you take damage only if you're crashing into the environment or when someone else crashes into you.
The traffic system is great, but if you're standing, waiting for a green light, the vehicles behind you think that you're obstructing traffic on purpose and they will try to surpass you even though the light is still red (I know no one will be obeying the traffic laws, but since this is an open-world with traffic, I wanted to try to see how realistic the game is).
The story overall was funny at times and unrealistic at others, especially when you're hijacking the Panteros' convoy and Marshall's train and while doing that, the convoy and train are driving in an infinitely long straight map.
The difficulty options are adjustable along the way, which is great, since the more I was upgrading my weapons, the easier the chosen difficulty seemed to be.
You have the possibility to upgrade both cars and weapons up to three times with money, cars also have a few other upgrade options, but all of them have a Signature Ability which is unlocked after completing a certain challenge for that car/weapon.
The best part of the game is the customisation, cars, weapons and you (the boss) can be customised in many ways. You have many options to customise the appearance of your boss. You can get clothes in shops found around town. It is worth noting that there is a bug when adjusting the colours of clothes. Many of the clothes will not give you the possibility to change the colours at first, especially clothes with some brands and underwear. To be able to change them you just have to switch back and forth a bit until you get the option since all clothes can change colours.
The physics in this game are also unrealistic at times, but nothing too severe to disrupt the gameplay.
The city of Santo Ileso is in my opinion quite deserted, there aren't as many people wandering or driving around the city as someone would expect.
Unfortunately, this game pays more attention to venture missions rather than story missions since you're building a criminal empire and by doing that, the game has many repetitive missions. Well, you don't have to do them, but if you want to earn as much money as possible to be able to build the last building as soon as possible, you will have to do them. The game also contains several types of side hustles (side missions) which are also repetitive and not required to complete. The story itself wasn't quite long and you will spend more time doing side activities.
All in all, wherever there was a good feature not far a bug or something unrealistic would be hidden to make the game less enjoyable. The game in its current state (April 2024.) is still filled with various minor bugs that do not affect the gameplay much, but they do make the game less amusing, it's probably much better than what it was when it was released.
To sum up, this game is good, but there is much that needs to be done to make it a more pleasurable experience.

I don't think this game is as bad as people said, the characters, missions, story and gameplay are boring but overall it an okay game. To quote Immortan Joe: "MEDIOCRE"
Had fun while playing, but after seeing what open world games can truly be, I can see why people were wanting and expecting more. I can't speak to the previous characters since this is my first Saint's Row game, but the story was definitely hokey.
