I didn't know it came to Steam, I was genuinely a fan of the third game. The blend of parody and satire of celebrity culture and action hero super criminals was a lot of fun. However I'm always kinda felt like it was a game of its time (not in a bad way) and a reboot of Saints Row never really made sense. I would understand a sequel of Agents of Mayhem that reworked its mechanics and built off that more than a Saints Row reboot. Saints Row plainly doesn't work in the modern age, at least not whatever this game is.
I mean how would you bring a new plot ~~just as zany as the other Saints Row games~~ to the table after what they did in SR4 and it's spinoff?
I don’t know, Saints Row especially after 4 seems like a game franchise that should have just remained in cryo-sleep. Its legacy probably should been more “spiritual” than actual in my opinion. Just seems like they had nowhere to go with the series mechanically and creatively. The reboot kinda proves that remains true.
