Comparing the older visuals on the PS3 where I originally played the game, you can straight away see the immense effort and love poured in. This over here is the “Money Shot” as numerously described in the game devilishly, as without a doubt, Saints Row The Third Remastered is a visual beauty. It might also appeal to younger gamers who were introduced to GTA5 as a first sandbox game who now want a more ‘no holds barred’ and shorter experience. The plot will probably appeal to the core fan group of the Saints Row games, who have always preferred this game being a parody of Grand Theft Auto. Re-playing the game again, especially almost a decade since its original release, makes the story feels flat, bar some fun missions and side activities like ‘Genki’s Bowl’. Overall the story is probably still the best of all the Saints Row games we have seen to date.

The game allows the users to choose missions that are broken down with the various “Homies” who are fellow gang members like Shaundi & Pierce, although not limited to only them, the player does acquire new allies. There are some missions that stand out more than others and the game does not help to keep them all connected well in terms of pacing.

The story element of the game has in the past been the major draw for being totally unrepentant and over the top. The game includes a huge incident at the very start and that shapes how the story involves the protagonist being us, taking the fight to the Syndicate while striking new friendships and rivalries. Five years after Saints Row 2, this part involves the Saints coming to grips with the newfound fame which makes them a bigger bullseye target for competitors and warring rivals, namely an enterprise – The Syndicate. PlotĪcting as the third part in the Saints row series, the game follows the antics of the criminal organization that now runs a media and consumer conglomerate of their brand. Joining them are ‘Spearasoft’ who took all the remastering work and it seems this game might have been released to prep us for a future Saints row game? That question so far is yet to be answered but let’s have a look at what this remastered edition brings to us in 2020. This one is a sneaky release by developers Volition.
