Saints Row (2022) — despite its mixed reception — deserves a second chance on GOG as a guilty pleasure and an underrated reboot that embraced chaotic fun in a modern open-world setting.

Why It’s a Guilty Pleasure
While critics and longtime fans were divided, many players found genuine enjoyment in the game’s goofy tone, fast-paced combat, and customizable chaos. It may not reach the heights of Saints Row 2 or The Third, but the reboot delivers pick-up-and-play mayhem, explosive missions, and some truly wild side activities. If you’re in the mood to turn your brain off and blow stuff up, it gets the job done.
⸻
Why It Belongs on GOG
GOG is the home of both cult classics and overlooked titles that didn’t get their due. Saints Row 2022 fits that mold. A DRM-free version on GOG would preserve it for future audiences and allow modders and fans to tweak, improve, or simply enjoy the game on their own terms.
Many players came in with low expectations and left surprised by how fun, silly, and relaxing it can be. It’s not perfect—but like many cult games, its imperfections are part of its charm.
⸻
In the end, Saints Row 2022 is a flawed but fun ride that offers over-the-top action, wild customization, and solid co-op. On GOG, it could be rediscovered by those who missed it or dismissed it—and finally earn the cult following it quietly deserves.
Even for a huge Saints Row fan, I can't recommend this. It's debatable how many people actually enjoy this to a degree. In nearly everyway imaginable both the most disappointing and worst Saints Row game. The DLCs won't change anything either. There's a learning curve how to get procession of the story going. I can't even recommend simply rampaging since that quickly gets old. The soundtrack is a huge miss as well. The actual size of the game already a tough sell. The Steam version didn't do well at all. I could argue a few ways it's technically better than Dead Rising 4. Then again it doesn't even feel like an Saints Row game. The rewards are mostly meh at best. Customization is among the best stuff it does have going for the game. In all honestly, Saints Row simply isn't worth giving a try. Although if you are one of the rare few that surprisingly likes this game. By all means enjoy this Saints Row game.
