I got excited until I realized they meant the reboot and not the first game in the series…

    I’m not sure what you mean. Saints Row 4’s large criticism was that it was too different from SR’s heritage what with being a super hero game instead of GTA on crack. Past that Gat out of Hell isn’t a mainline title and was even further out there, and then Agents of Mayhem wasn’t even a Saints game, and I enjoyed the hell out of that game’s unique merits.

    The SR reboot was the first real Saints Row release since 3, so you could say that it didn’t do enough different (which I can’t speak for, I didn’t play it), but saying the series hasn’t done anything new since 3 is not correct. Whether those games were super great or not is a different discussion, but they were doing something different, unless you just didn’t specify between something different for the series or something different from all other video games.

        It had flaws, but I found the three hero swapping mechanic pretty fun, especially due to each one having a class that made them better or worse against certain enemies, and I loved the whole triple jumping thing, combat felt unique and fun.

        The rest of the game has a lot of not so awesome bits, but I found it absolutely good enough to warrant an improved sequel. Hopefully they do something with it one day.
