This game is pretty good. Sure, it is no masterpiece, but i found it pretty fun. And it is one of the most well optmized game releases i have seen in quite some time, i am playing on max settings with an FX-6300 and a R9 380. Seriously, this whole review industry is going downhill pretty fast, they overrated bleh games and underrate perfectly fine games.
   
   Ignore the haters, it seems the only one who actually played this game was Quarter to Three. If you like light hearted shooter-action rpg hybrids, get this game.… Expand

   A Sleeper hit
   A gents of mayhem is a spin off game from the saints row series
   where a group of heroes are assembled with their own hatred for the legion to take them down
   The game takes place in south korea and the story is told with animated cutscenes and tons of humor and charm…
   This is a bit of a 3rd person version of a hero shooter.. though completely single player
   you start out with 3 characters, and once youre set free in the open world youre able to go and recruit the other 9…
   The game handles the introductions and unlocking these characters perfectly…
   and rightfully so as recruiting them makes up a hefty chunk of this 22 hour long campaign
   To unlock a character you have to complete a mission with that character..
   each characters mission introduces them, gives them a back story and their reason for wanting to take down legion…
   and none of them feel throw away, every single character in this game feels fleshed out, both in their play style and their personality
   These missions introduce the characters weapon, their special attacks, and their mayhem attacks..
   They force the player not only to dip their toes in the water with each character, it forces them to prove they can succeed with that character as well
   And each is balanced in a way that you may love 2 things about them but hate one… or really love one thing but hate the other 2..
   This makes picking your favorite 3 so hard…
   And keeping in mind you need a variety of characters in your squad for different objectives missions may throw at you..
   Once you have your 3 favorite characters , its time to squad up and take the city for your own
   A squad consists of any 3 characters
   You can take these characters and clean up the town if youd like, taking over outposts so that you can unlock a regions side activites or claim currency terminals to increase you dollar per minute you earn back at your base
   these side activities aren’t really too interesting or fun…
   I don’t imagine many people will spend their time running around this tiny city doing them..
   and other than unlocking schematics for new cars theres not much incentive to do them anyway..
   speaking of cars this is how you will traverse unless you choose to jump and dash into the air, but the game makes it easy by letting you call a car instantly with the touch of the d pad
   but sadly there is no fast travel here, youll be driving a lot
   most of your time will be spent doing main missions and running through lairs or dungeons
   These lairs and dungeons are found in story as well as in the global conflict section of the game which is where you send out your unused members to go out and earn xp and scraps for gremlin tech which is basically a consumable attack
   These dungeons are where youll earn mods for your equipped characters
   The mission structure here though is practically identical throughout all 20 hours..
   heres the crazy thing though..
   The game stays fun throughout inspite of this..
   Im surprised how much I ultimately enjoyed agents of mayhem…
   while the open world is shallow, the level design is extremely repetitive, and a low health indication like a harsh vibration or blood/discoloration on the screen doesn’t exist..
   the heroes with their different moves, diolog, and personalities, the different villians that are fun to hate.. the overall writing in this game.. all of it keep this game fresh and fun throughout…
   if youre a fan of hero shooters in any way.. don’t miss out on this one
   I give Agents of Mayhem
   an 8/10… Expand

   While most companies were becoming increasingly realistic and find himself in drama, Volition made a game where you just need to kick ass.While most companies were becoming increasingly realistic and find himself in drama, Volition made a game where you just need to kick ass. This game is from the authors of Saints Row, but now they have reduced the level of insanity and phallic objects. Which, incidentally, was the controversial decision. After all, Saints Row was talking about it, and the plot was not so important. At Agents of Mayhem, the plot is still for show, but the former no fun. The plot is serious with just the evil doers, and for the sake of the plot, just not worth it to buy the game. But for what then? For the sake of gameplay and the agents themselves. All the humor moved into the images of the agents and their conversations. Agents (controlled heroes) every single exaggerated images. Here we have a Hollywood "star", which quoted the militants and busy narcissism, the Yeti is incredibly cool Russian soldiers (Yes, Volition has still not benefiting from the Russian), which became even steeper and became, in fact, Mr. freeze, Braddock – typical girl inflexible martinet. And so on. Images of agents fun, the dialogue is sometimes forced to smile. Heroes pour cool phrases, like from the movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, quoting different movies. But the plot is boring, insanity is no fun for sure. You will need to entertain themselves, inducing chaos is not in Steelport, and Seoul.
   
   Agents of Mayhem in the main gameplay. Each agent is individual with their individual weapon (it even can't be changed) and abilities. You will have a team of three agents, which can simultaneously take. You can play for each of the three agents. The screen will be a hero, scroll wheel, and it was immediately replaced by others. The system is simple and allows you not to slow down and not to sit, if your health is almost at zero. The game, incidentally, not difficult and enemies will take in the main number and armored robots. Hitboxes are good. With such dynamics will not miss you and the bow. This game would make a great multiplayer shooter Overwatch type. So now to make these games popular, well, that Volition has decided not to compete with the same Blizzard, and created a dynamic, colorful game with nice graphics and design. Open-world here acts as a decoration. About any life simulation of speech can not go. The world is here, as in other projects Volition – artificial. And the residents of Seoul for our intervention in their space can do is sit down and clasp his hands to his head. But, nevertheless, the city looks beautiful. Graphics have become, for me, even more multyashnoe compared to Saints Row, but this game began to look even nicer. In the city, as in any other open world scattered with different activities. You can even open the boxes containing the materials that you will need to enhance agents. You can move both on foot and by car. Heroes fast, sharp, high jump, but still a large distance it is better to overcome on the car. They have different weight, and well managed. It is desirable, of course, easy to cause the machine, not to take from the streets (bystanders are managed much worse than their own).
   
   Agents of Mayhem is a pure gameplay game and a great alternative to Crackdown 3. Funny characters, dynamic gameplay make this game good, but not a mandatory. There are no cool set of cutscenes, such as the first mission in Saints Row 4, there is no madness. Volition wanted to do something new, but was more sluggish Saints Row. But the play is surprisingly fun. Pleasant cartoon graphics, cheerful characters and gameplay do their thing.… Expand

   Agents of Mayhem can be pretty fun, but only for a short term due to repetative gameplay that holds it back from being a properly good game.Agents of Mayhem can be pretty fun, but only for a short term due to repetative gameplay that holds it back from being a properly good game. And while set in the same universe as Saints Row, it manages to set itself apart enough to stand on it's own legs.
   
   The main missions offer decent amount of variety, but main story is quite short. The real meat can be found among hero character exclusive missions, and since the game offers a decent roster of them, the character specific missions can be somewhat of a blast. Heros themselves is where AoM shines the most, each of them offer something different, each has a unique fleshed out personality and require a specific playing style. Since you can have 3 heros at once at your disposal, mixing them them up can be fun aswell, in terms of both gameplay possibilities and banter between them. My favorites were Rama and Johnny Gat, having these 2, in my squad of 3, always was fun times guaranteed.
   
   One specific personal gripe i have with AoM is in terms of the game's tone, it feels, how do i say this. dumbed down, less over the top, than what we've had in Saints Row. Screw it, it feels kinda politically correct. It's like choices have been made in order for the game to not hurt the feels of the perpetually offended in modern games journalism and ''gamers'' on Twitter. It can be observed in the neutered humour, dialogue, and in ''safe'' female character design. Dont get me wrong, it's not all doom, the game still has plenty of likeable personality, but that ''I dont give a f*ck'' attitude that i've come to appreciate from past Saints Row games, it cannot be found in Agents of Mayhem, even if the game takes pride in being a Saints Row spin off.
   
   Sadly a huge chunk of content that AoM relies upon is very repetative, case in point, the procedurally generated dungeons, or more precisely, secret underground bases. You're constantly playing through these, both as side missions and as main ones. Blasting enemies, while charging through the same feeling, repetative dungeons, can be fun only for so long.
   
   The open world AoM has is really damn small, not just by modern open world game standards. but even compared to 7th and 6th console generation standards, It rather feels like a dense city block compared to similar modern open world games, that feature big cities. Though it does have enough diversity in terms of locations and offer verticality in terms of gameplay, meaning you can scale the tall buildings and other structures. Truth be told, futuristic Seoul in the game does look pretty nice, even with the game's more cartoony graphics. The game also relies on driving quite a lot, but, sadly, driving feels really sub par and is not satisfying at all.
   
   AoM on PC isnt that well optimized either. For what it is, it should be running better. Also, with the game world not being that large, i dont understand why the game takes up over 50 GB of storage space.
   
   Logically, if you're a fan of Saints Row, there is some joy to be had in Agents of Mayhem, hell, just for the sake of playing as Johnny Gat.… Expand

In the end, it was an unfinished game that had some great looking skins. Bad performance on a 1080. Boring, repetitive and wave type missions. Game play was very glitchy throughout my hours of playing and never improved no matter the setting downgrades. Shiny outer layer with no real content once you get to the core. Disappointing. Giving it a 4 only because of the design team.… Expand
