New Hades is played out well enough that these powers are fun to experiment with, especially the super jump ability. Telekinesis is gone in favor of the ability to summon demons and other creatures to take out your enemies. Like the majority of the game, a good amount of these are recycled. Like in Saints Row IV, you’ll have an impressive amount of super abilities to conquer hell with. Rampage missions, racing missions, fraud missions, yep they’re all here but unfortunately they don’t carry as much weight when they’re supposed to be the game’s main content. The plan to get the President back is simple, make enough chaos and noise in hell to draw Satan out and into a confrontation and you’ll apparently do that by doing everything that was a side mission in the actual Saints Row games. At the beginning of the game you’ll be tracking down old friends and enemies (Saints Row 2’s big bad Dane Vogel, voiced by Jay Mohr makes a triumphant return) as well as make allies with some of Hell’s most famous residents like Shakespeare, Vlad the Impaler and Blackbeard but their roles are reduced to little more than cameos and rarely heard from again. While the game starts with a interesting premise, it soon throws it all away for some reason in favor of what can only be viewed as busy work. If you’ve played Saints Row IV, you’ll feel instantly at home with Gat out of Hell, for better or worse.
The NPCs that populated the living world are replaced by wandering corpses and demons intent on hurting you in any way possible. The majority of the game is played in New Hades, the capital of hell, which looks awfully familiar to Saints Row IV’s Steel Port, except you know - covered with hellfire and brimstone.
Saints row gat out of hell rating full#
Yes, it’s incredibly silly - even by Saints Row standards, but it’s full of great lowbrow humor and inside jokes that the franchise has made it’s name on. In true Saints Row style, gangster extraordinaire Johnny Gat and master hacker Kinzie resolve to follow their boss into hell, shoot Satan in the face and bring him back home. The main character from Saints Row IV, your created President of the Universe has been sucked down to hell as Satan finds him as the only one rotten enough to marry his daughter Jezebel. Gat out of Hell’s premise is simple if not overly silly.
Saints row gat out of hell rating series#
Fans of the Saints Row series will love Gat out of Hell, it does most of what the series has done well for years and rewards those who understand the series’ mythos with constant in jokes and references but most will be quoting the game’s protagonist and wondering “is that all hells got?” It recycles a lot of content from Saints Row IV, which was starting to feel old on it’s own right. That’s not to say that Gat out of Hell isn’t worth your money - at $20, it’s a fun and carefree violent waste of time, but unfortunately it never really reaches for anything more than that. Unfortunately though, no other part of the game even comes close to recreating the creativity in this five minute scene. It’s a remarkably fun and admittedly cheesy musical number inspired by the likes of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell builds to an impressive peak nearly halfway through it’s five hour campaign.
