Saints Row: Open World Action Game Preview Video
GTA in even more wacky: this is how you could describe the Saints Row series, after all the story got weirder and weirder with each installment, until we finally have to save the world from an alien invasion and free the soul of the Saints leader from hell.
In the reboot of the series, however, things are much more realistic again: As the boss of the newly formed Saints gang, you fight against competing groups to secure control of the city of Santo Ileso.
In terms of gameplay, however, it remains largely the same: You can once again explore a huge open world, complete dozens of side quests and shoot down your enemies with crazy weapons. We can’t tell you at this point whether you’ll be beating them up with oversized sex toys again.
You can find our Saints Row test on GameStar.de just in time for the release – so keep your eyes open. Until then, you can read again why colleague Vali was so pleasantly surprised when he played it:
