Saints Row: The Third

First I played this game in 2016, when I did not care about details and achievements, I rushed through the main story and deleted game after 13 hours. Now in 2026, I 100%-d the game and haven't regretted it. It's a 8 GB game and it's full of detail, it's funny, a very great parody. Achievement hunting wasn't that much of a chore, however the game having coop and online achievement is a serious bad move. I loved the side activites, i did not feel it repetitive. Zimos became my favourite character. Soundtrack was a little bit... few to chose from? If we compare the radio stations to other franchises: it was underwhelming. This is definetely the best game out of the franchise.

epic! just like gtaV, but stupid and silly, and playable on low-end devices!

SR3 might be my favourite game of all time. I was introduced to this back when I was maybe 8-9 years old by, in hindsight, quite the irresponsible family friend, and believe it had a huge impact on myself and my taste in media. For one, Kinzie is probably my favourite character, and she frankly had a big impact on my taste in women, dare I say, however factions like the Deckers and STAG and characters like Genki definitely also had a big impact on the sort of art direction/aesthetics I look for in the media I enjoy. This is my second time 100% completing SR3, after having done so already on Xbox and now moving over to PC, and it didn't drag at all. I have thoroughly enjoyed both times and will enjoy it again when I 100% the remaster. I have so much love in my heart for the world of Saints Row, and so much for Volition too. I highly recommend, if anyone is reading this, to seek the Studio Edition guide for SR3. It features a lot of nice concept art as well as interviews with the team at Volition, and makes you feel really connected to them and their creative vision. There is such a melancholy felt for them by myself, as you can tell that they really, really loved making this game, and its such a damn shame that they are no longer around to work on more games or remasters. I saw when reading reviews that one particular journalist said that SR3 was the game Volition was born to create, and I cannot help but agree wholeheartedly. In many ways, playing this game in its entirety again and sinking hours into it is my way of saying thank you for having such a deep impact on my development as a gamer and a person. I imagine I will still be replaying this game when I am old and grey, and having such an impact on someone is something any game developer should be really proud of.
