What Is It?
The 2022 action-adventure video game Saints Row (2022) / Fake Row / Gen Z Row / Hipster Row / Cringe Row developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver, it is a fake reboot of the real Saints Row series; and it is the fifth game in the franchise, but I will treat it like it is not part of the franchise.
Here is how Metacritic describes this fake Saints Row & sorry excuse of a video game:
Welcome to Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the heart of the American Southwest.
In a world rife with crime, where lawless factions fight for power, a group of young friends embark on their own criminal venture, as they rise to the top in their bid to become Self Made.
As the future Boss, with Neenah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you’ll form The Saints and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city.
Ultimately, Saints Row is the story of a start-up company, it’s just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime.
Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created; the unique sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger than life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions, as you shoot, drive, and wingsuit your way to the top.
Express yourself and unleash your inner Saint, with the most advanced suite of customization tools yet seen in an open-world game, make your character, your car, and your crew your own.
Dive into epic gunfights and high speed chases, and witness outrageous only-in-Saints-Row moments in an original story that charts the Saints’ remarkable rise to power.
Enjoy the freedom of playing the entire campaign with a friend through seamless untethered co-op play, where you can both push the limits of your gang and create your own gameplay moments together.
