This is not a bad game despite the flack it gets but it could have been more organized and certainly more polished. While it was hard saying goodbye to old favorites the new class of Saints aren't bad, they start a bit rough but they grow on you. My issues with this game are more around the Venture stuff. There is a ton of it, and in previous Saints Rows it was also plastered.

The difference is more than half of its introduced after you beat the game, that's very unbalanced. This should have all been established right as the Saints were looking to start up their business ventures in the second chapter and have you slowly build this region growing empire. Instead most of it is post game and then you start unlocking stuff you should have from the jump way too late to matter.

The reluctance to really trust the player with a ton of activities to do gate keeps you in a way that adds hours to the platinum That being said if you are just beating the game none of this really matters! Overall the game is below 4 and 3 but presents a rare sandbox in the desert that's a lot of fun to play with which is why I think it presents itself better than 2. Also the Larping missions are hands down the best in the game.

What Worked Well
-The wingsuit is great
-The gangs are diverse
-Good radio
-Controls: gunplay, driving, and flight
-Ventures are fun
-Some very funny missions in the mix and some very good backstory missions

What Didn't Work
-Ventures are too staggered with half falling to post game hiding common abilities
-The tracking in the challenge book isnt great with no way to force a track on screen like previous games
-The western city portion is barely used
-Focusing the story on a traitor is a dumb concept for a game like this, once the obvious traitors introduced it lacks any story weight

Indifference
-lots of sandbox glitches but only a few really effect things like needing to save and quit cause buttons suddenly don't work

Whats needed for platinum
-You must complete all 15 city districts but the desert can be skipped (aka you only need 97%)
-46 of 75 challenges must be finished, most of these are grinding kills or getting various airtime
-You must finish all ventures
-Do one coop trophy but wait til its your last thing so you dont corrupt your save (being fixed in 2 weeks)
