This remaster finally gives the game the smooth performance it deserves. Last year’s Switch version was even worse it ran so badly at launch that I had to stop playing. When it first released, Saints Row: The Third was ambitious in its size and scope, which caused problems on PS3 and Xbox 360 in terms of framerate, screen-tearing, and other areas. The game seems to be equally insensitive to all groups it lampoons, so no one feels particularly targeted – but that didn’t stop me from cringing.
However, in the nine years since its release, some elements of this humor have grown uncomfortably dated, especially with regards to race and gender. Its obsession with fart and crotch jokes makes it clear that the priority is on stupid fun rather than depicting a gritty crime story. In many ways, I love the unapologetic crassness Saints Row: The Third.
The vehicle models have also gotten significant upgrades, so the action looks great whether you’re driving through the city, watching cutscenes, or just exploring on foot.
Plus, all of the major characters seem to have been rebuilt, with additional facial details that give them even more personality. Comparing the old game and the new one side-by-side reveals a gorgeous new lighting system that brings out the best in the world. From a graphical perspective, Saints Row: The Third Remastered has received more attention than your typical re-release.
