The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in September 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 27 in the 3 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. Saints Row 2 ($9.99, scores 47) outscores it, and so does Saints Row: The Third ($9.99, scores 95). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Players rate it 56 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 45 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 24 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 130 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 971 reviews written there were positive, against 56 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 12.6 hours. Doing everything runs 53, 4.2 times as long.

What players say
Do not expect it to live up to the legacy of the original Saints Row series. Go into it expecting mindless sandbox fun, mute the cringe dialogue, and you will have a good time.
Actually enjoyed this more than I expected. It's definitely a bit cheesier and more over-the-top than GTA, and the humour won't be for everyone, but there's a surprisingly decent amount of single-player content here. It feels closer to that older San Andreas-era style of open-world game where there's always another activity, side mission or bit of nonsense to get distracted by. The story and characters are a bit...
Getting the coop to work is rocket science. Edit: The coop is in an almost unplayable state, it should be illegal to sell it like this.
