If things do go wrong, it’s so easy to run away. It has to, as sometimes you need an ability to be able to kill an enemy. I haven’t unlocked the other powers yet, but considering how powerful this simple Blast is… It even recharges pretty fast. Especially when your very first power, Freeze Blast, can freeze them solid, opening them up to instakill headshots. Really, the average mook stands no chance. You see, while the shooting is the same, the powers really do throw things out of whack, in so many different ways. Both Saints Row 4 and Gat out of Hell have these activities, variations of Saints Row 3, lacking the variation of Saints Row 2 and re-purposed to fit with your new powers. The mini survivals, wave missions and “kill all the guys in this small area” walk-in activities are still around as well. The Professor Genki levels are tied up with Rifts that require you to jump around and score points and using telekinisis to throw things through hoops. In fact, a lot of the activities are the same – Insurance Fraud and Mayhem make a comeback, as does Blazing (although you are running instead of driving) and the Helicopter carnage mission (now with a UFO instead). It’s the same flow as the other games, where you have story missions with cinematics, which are spliced between free roaming around a city and doing activities to gain control over parts of the map. The activities and territory control are pretty much the same too.
The combat is all mostly the same as Saints Row 3 when it comes to gun play, aiming, things like that. Maybe that’s because it basically is Saints Row 3 but with super powers. You can only really compare it to Saints Row 3. You can’t compare it to GTAV or anything like that, nor can you compare it to Saints Row 2 in any way what so ever. It’s not that Saints Row 4 is a particularly bad game. I just can’t bring myself to like this game. I actually asked for Saints Row 4 as a Christmas present, getting it when it was slightly reduced down to €25, but I couldn’t get into it. I even thoroughly enjoyed Gat out of Hell, even though it was an incredibly short game, especially once I’d upgraded flying. This sounds insanely weird considering that I’m a huge fan of Saints Row 3 and Saints Row 2 is an amazing game when it decides it wants to work. I recently picked it up again to play with a friend of mine after struggling for an insane amount of time to even download the game.
