Gat Out of Hell is a very nice expansion which offers hours of gameplay. The humor we know from previous parts is there and much more. The graphics are a little disappointing, but despite that it's simply a must play.
You might be wondering why I gave this game a perfect 10/10 score when nearly all critic reviews land in the 50-60 range. I'll tell you exactly why. Because it was free.
Not the best entry in the Saints Row series but it definitely has its moments.
Pros:
-New weapons
-New powers
-New Enemies
-The Hell setting looks nice
-Funny story
-Cool characters
-Great voice acting and sound
Cons:
-Slow start
-It's short
-Not that many activities
-Gameplay is pretty similar to Saints Row 4
-Wallrunning is useless since you can fly around
-Vehicles don't have much variety
-Vehicles are too weak to have any use and blow up pretty fast
Overall, I'd recommend you buy it if you are looking for more Saint's Row 4.
Volition knows exactly what the Saints Row series is. It's dumb, enjoyable fun that's not to be taken too seriously. Gat out of Hell certainly fits that criteria and though it's a smaller package this time around, it's still nice to take a short weekend trip to hell. Just don't expect to stay very long.
Gat out of Hell gives you more stuff to do, and is mildly entertaining while it lasts, but it's not a patch on the core game it comes with. If thought of as the side course to the main dish, this is fine. Newcomers will find a lot to enjoy, but there's little reason to return if a dive into Hell is what you were looking forward to.
While its fun to see how absurd those distractions get that only makes it harder and harder to pretend you’re playing a real game, with consequences and genuine danger. Despite all that we’re curious to see what Violation will do for their first next gen-only sequel, but for now this second expansion is probably best left to burn.
I never played any of Saints Row games before. In fact, I am new to console gaming, so for me this game was really enjoyable. Tons of fun flying around, though I am not sure what cars are for in this game, probably for explosions. Anyway, although game looks a bit dated compared to GTA5, it still is tons of fun.
The game itself has that fun factor I've always loved in the Saints Row franchise, but that's about all this game has going for it. The devs put minimal effort into this one and it clearly shows.
