If you're one of those who love apocalyptic environment and or do not consider themselves the usual fan of mighty heroes, then Agents of Mayhem is for you and thats because of its challenging gameplay done in groups that would make you sit and play for hours, but don't forget that the campaign, in terms of storyline, is not as rich as its gameplay and this would definitely make the players unhappy. True that we can't ignore the charmful city of Seoul, being in the middle of a chaotic war, but the frame reductions we encountered in the PS4 version of the game really did hurt our joy, we hope that the current issues will be solved as the developers launch the first day updates so that more and more enthusiasts would play Agents of Mayhem.

It may not consistently live up to the standards of Volition's recent pedigree, but Agents of Mayhem's cackling supervillains, destructive vigilantism and satisfying combat make for a jolly good open-world adventure nonetheless.

Volition has done something great with Agents of Mayhem. It does a good job at being a spin-off that can stand on its own, providing players with a lot of content and a lot of variety to keep them busy for a long time. Fans of open world games and/or the Saints Row series definitely need to play this game.

Agents of Mayhem is by no means a bad game, but it lacks ambition. That's particularly damning since it spawns from a franchise that rarely held back. If you want to blow up robots, collect some items, and hear amusing humor, then Agents of Mayhem fits the bill. If you're looking for something as off-the-wall as the Saint's Row franchise at its best, this is not it. There are enough glimmers of greatness and individually well-executed moments that it can be easy to forgive the bland filler. If you can't get past that, though, then there's not enough meaty content here to make it a satisfying experience.

Agents of Mayhem is a decent game. It is specifically goof for those who doesn't want to take the game serious, and doesn't want to get punished whenever they do anything. But if you want a game that test your skills and makes you think while playing, then it is not for you. The repetitive missions and the boring city really makes you stop enjoying the game after playing only couple missions

You'll definitely want to return to Agents of Mayhem again and again. Games' shortcomings will become irrelevant as soon as you start a new mission, pick your favorite agents from the diverse roster and have a lot of fun.

Agents of Mayhem can be a fun experience if you ignore some of the repetition it carries and embrace its silliness.

Playing through Agents of Mayhem is a mixed bag, with great ideas thrown out the window in favor of explosions, and the creative messages lost in the process. The game ends up feeling unfinished.

Agents of Mayhem is an uninteresting experience that has been offered in far better ways throughout the history of open-world shooters. That's not to say that it's bad - in fact, for a mediocre game, it can certainly be a fun distraction for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, its potential was thrown from a window, and what we got here is a repetitive shoot-fest that's enjoyable only when there isn't something better to play.

Shiny visuals, decent enough audio and sharp controls can't rescue Agents of Mayhem from an average review. While it's not worth buying at full price, once it drops to $20 or under it'll certainly be worth a consideration. Hopefully, by then the developer will have implemented some form of online play.

countless bugs and repetitive levels are solid reasons for giving up on Agents of Mayhem, but if you love Saints Row series, it's worth a try.

All in all, Agents of Mayhem is a solid effort. Fantastic heroes, ridiculous satire, and bombastic action make it a game you should check out even if the final product isn't as polished as it could be.

Agents of Mayhem screams mediocrity at every turn, and while it introduces some fun mechanics, it ultimately boils down to a boring FPS mishmash. It fails to stand out in any remarkable way, the attempts at humor doing it no favors.

Agents of Mayhem proudly barrels out into the world as a robust and absolutely fun single player experience. If you want an escape from the grimdark settings of most modern games, but still want to make things go boom, you should stop reading and pick it up now. Above all else, Agents of Mayhem is a master class in fun.

You would expect the team behind Saints Row to make something with more verve and fewer grey hallways, but here we are with Agents of Mayhem.

Agents of Mayhem is a game that tries and accomplishes a lot of things, but a general lack of ambition and mechanics that are often sluggish weigh down the overall experience.

Agents of Mayhem is an interesting experiment, but with short legs. While on one hand we have twelve agents all different and fun to use in fast-paced and dynamic gameplay mechanics, on the other hand we have a gameplay experience ruined mostly for the repetition of missions background and the copious presence of bugs And glitch ready to let you start over again a great run.

We're living in a post-Saints Row world where Volition wants to bring players something new, but familiar to the table, and for the most part, Agents of Mayhem fills that void. It retains Saints Row's sense of humor and mayhem all while adding in team-oriented gameplay. It's the agents and their individual stories that steal the show thanks to snappy writing, bizarre scenarios, and perfect comedic timing. The story itself is a highlight thanks to the insane villains, although it takes a few chapters before things pick up. It's disappointing that the remaining activities are so repetitive and lack the imagination of what Volition is known for, and with a myriad of technical issues, it feels like Agents of Mayhem was shoved out the door earlier than it should have. Still, despite a few hiccups, there are still hours of fun to be had with Agents of Mayhem. It may not be the best open-world game out there, but like its predecessors, it stands out in a sea of AAA titles that take themselves far too seriously.
