Saints Row: The Third Remastered
May 25, 2021 5 years ago
Saints Row: The Third Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. This is your City. These are your rules. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport the original city of sin, has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs and guns. Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen. Weapons of Crass Destruction – It’s one thing to defeat your enemies. It’s another to humiliate them. Hover jets, human cannonball cars and outrageous melee weapons are all part of the fun. Crazy Character Customisation – Create the most outlandish characters ever seen, from washed-up celebrities to maskless ninja pirates. Inside every sinner, there is a Saint. Who will you become? Over The Top Co-op – Fly solo or play online with a homie. Give freefall skydiving a try, landing in your partner’s flaming pickup as you make a desperate run toward a heavily armed Syndicate base. Steelport is always more fun with a friend. All DLC included – All three expansion mission packs and 30 pieces of DLC from the original version.
What it’s like
Saints Row: The Third Remastered delivers a chaotic, satirical open-world sandbox where power fantasy meets absurdity. You command the Saints as they battle the Syndicate in Steelport, a neon-drenched metropolis ripe for destruction. The experience is defined by its unapologetic tone and over-the-top mechanics, encouraging players to utilize hover jets, human cannonballs, and outrageous melee weapons rather than realistic tactics. While the narrative serves primarily as a vehicle for this madness, the writing shines through its sharp wit and memorable, eccentric characters who embrace their own ridiculousness. The remaster updates the visuals without altering the core design, preserving the game’s identity as a digital fever dream. It balances structured missions with free-roaming anarchy, offering co-op multiplayer that amplifies the fun. Ultimately, it is a high-energy, comedic spectacle that prioritizes creative destruction and stylistic flair over narrative depth or systemic realism.

Keep in mind The gameplay systems are shallow and repetitive, lacking the mechanical complexity found in more serious action titles. The tone may alienate players who prefer grounded narratives or realistic crime simulations.
