HHW Gaming Review: ‘Saints Row’ Is A Reboot That Fails To Make A Good Impression
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Volition Games / Saints Row After playing four hours of Saints Row during a preview session, optimism was very high about Volition Studios’ big reboot of the franchise. After getting our hands on the entire game, the optimism quickly waned, but it wasn’t an entirely terrible experience. As a video game franchise, Saints Row is in an interesting space. The game was stuck in limbo following 2015’s lackluster Gat Out Hell, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of fans of Saints Row. Volition knew they had to recapture the zany magic that gamers have come to expect from the open-world game that is not Grand Theft Auto and present it in a next-gen package. Did they manage to do that? Yes, but mostly no, unfortunately. Related Stories As you travel around the gorge...
