Saints Row: The Third Remastered Reviews
Saints Row the Third Remastered is a great way to revisit a truly classic series that sadly missed out with a new entry this console generation and I hope this is something that might be addressed on the birth of the next generation coming this year. But the bugs take the shine of what is a fun game to play and I fully recommend grabbing a friend and playing this co-op as there is just so much fun to be had at a time when smiles and laughs in the world are few and far between at the moment. I loved returning to Steep Port and the Saints, it has a humour that appealed me all those years ago and this shows that there is still room for Saints Row in current gaming. This is unashamed crazy chaotic fun when everything works, but the frustration of the old issues still being present stick out like a sore thumb.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered we have a remastering that stands out above the rest, knowing how to condense the hooliganism and intelligent humor of the original game with some visual improvements that make it a triple A of this generation of console. We find a game that seeks our entertainment in abundance without more pretension in the more than 20 hours that the campaign lasts, extendable to 35-40 hours with all the secondary and extra missions of the downloadable content included in this edition.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered does what it promises as a remaster and nothing more.

Saints Row the Third has always been one of the most fun games I’ve played and Saints Row the Third: Remastered brings that to a new group of players. Perhaps it could have made more improvement as a Remaster considering the price charged, but the amount of sheer fun you can have makes it well worth playing. There are tons of things to do from structured missions to achievements based on driving on the wrong side of the road. This is not a game that you will be done with by just completing the story.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is the definitive way to play the best game in the Saints Row series. Running through the streets of Steeport has never looked better, but the game still manages to show its age in some areas. Regardless, the enhanced graphics, hilarious story, and timeless gameplay make this remaster worth checking out for long time fans or those who have never touched a Saints Row game in their life.
If you love B-series movies, Saints Row is your game. This remastered edition is the best way to enjoy this crazy and funny game. So much players need to take a look on this game to discover a different way to create a sandbox game.

We played the original Saints Row The Third to death when it released and found the game took us up to the upper echelons of gaming madness but still kept its toes in some warped reality. In this regard, the game is full of character and we love it. The remaster then makes an already cool game even better and for those who love visual elements will especially be pleased at Volition’s efforts here.
I went into Saints Row: The Third Remastered expecting just a clean lick of paint here and there, but I was left blown away by the effort that Sperasoft have made in revamping the game. Seriously, the visuals are vastly improved with all new models and textures put in place, the new lighting system brings the city of Steelport to life, whilst the steady performance ensures everything runs smoothly throughout. Of course, that doesn’t fix some of the dated gameplay mechanics, but who cares? It’s still super enjoyable to partake in its frantic and over-the-top action and I had a lot of fun blasting through the game once more. Whether this is your first time with the Saints or you’re returning for another romp with the third entry in the series, Saints Row: The Third Remastered is an excellent remaster that definitely deserves gamers’ attention.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is ridiculous in so many ways. It’s over-the-top to the point of parody. It’s hilarious, it’s outrageous, and it can be quite offensive to delicate souls. It’s not perfect, but it’s a bloody good game made better with a few coats of new paint and polish.
Deep Silver and Volition have something really special with the Saints Row franchise, and it honestly doesn’t get any better than Saints Row: The Third Remastered.
A remaster that stays stupid, crazy and hilarious, with all the bling of the current generation.

What was once a great title feels a bit dated today, but it's still really fun.

A release worthy of wearing the remastered label.
It's back, bigger, better, and more over-the-top than you can possibly imagine.
This version of Saints Row: The Third is really short on improvements, there is some better lighting and textures here and there but the overall experience doesn't really feel that "remastered" and the gameplay feels very outdated by today's industry standards for the newcomers to the series.

Ultimately, this is still the same Saints Row: The Third in terms of story and game play, though it does include 100% of the content from Saints Row: The Third: The Full Package, meaning all of the original game’s DLC is available to you from the jump. The visual upgrades the game has received are truly amazing, and are well worth making the journey back to Steelport whether you’re a long time fan or a newcomer to the series. While I did really enjoy how absolutely bonkers Saints Row IV was, Saints Row: The Third is truly the essential title in the series, and being able to experience it at this level of quality is a strange, unexpected gift. If Deep Silver is looking to set the standard for what remasters should be, they have absolutely thrown down the gauntlet in terms of what players should expect going forward.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is one of the best remasters in recent years, completely overhauling the visuals and performance. Almost everything has been updated and upgraded bar the engine underneath, a similar concept we saw with Outcast: Second Contact. The game is a mindless mayhem sandbox with a bunch of missions and crazy activities to work your way through at your own pace, offering tonnes of fun either playing on your own or with another player. The game was fun back in 2011, offering crazy non-serious GTA-style gameplay, and it’s just as fun playing it now, in 2020.
I get this isn’t the newest game on the block and the appetite is ravenous for an all-new Saints Row. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to dive into Saints Row The Third, which can still draw a smile and runs like an absolute dream. It’s as close to a remake as the game will surely get, utilising the best modern technology of the day, coupling it with rock solid performance. You honestly couldn’t ask for more. Seriously, let’s just get Sperasoft remastering everything from now on.
Despite a few issues with a lack of upgrades in some areas, Saint’s Row The Third Remastered is a great way to dip your shoes back into the franchise and remember why Saint’s Row 3 helped the series find an identity, allowing it to go on to do bigger and better things in Saint’s Row IV.
