That still rings true with Gat out of Hell, Volition using its funny bone like a blunt object. There’s a saying about Saints Row games - that it’s a stupid game made by clever people. While Gat out of Hell is easy to play, geared as it is towards brainless carnage, it’s also very hard to care about it. By this point the so-called ‘awesome button’ - that lets you perform running hurricanranas and dropkick yourself behind the wheels of vehicles - is more of an ‘alright button’, the feeling of dissociation rising in direct relation to the ludicrous spectacle.

After all, Saints Row long ago prioritised being a comedy game above, say, a game which makes a lick of sense (see President getting sucked into Hell through a possessed ouija board). Play as either Johnny Gat or Kinzie Kensington as you tear apart Hell in a quest to save the leader of the Saintsâ€™ soul.Still, the gags deliver, and that’s the main thing.

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected gives players the entire Saints Row IV experience, plus includes the standalone expansion Saints Row IV: Gat Out of Hell.

Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarre Steelport simulation. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is the inaugural entry in this psychotic open-world action series for new-gen consoles.
