Saints Row: The Third Remastered Reviews
In my early days of playing adventure games on my Xbox 360, one series always had my heart. As campy and ridiculous as it was, the Saints Row series has and always will be one of my favorite series of GTA-like games. I often call Saints Row “Goofy Grand Theft Auto,” a perfect parody of practicing crime while also shooting obscene mascots with a Dubstep gun (yes, that’s a real weapon in this series.) If you’d like to read our past review of Saints Row The Third: Remastered, check it out here!
Saints Row The Third Remastered offers exactly what the original offered almost 10 years ago. With a logical and necessary aesthetic facelift and all the content that was released by DLCs included, it is still a very fun and engaging game, and a great opportunity for those who could not enjoy it in their day, but perhaps who already own the one from 2011, have no reason to approach this new version, and it could have been used to make some small playable improvement.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered is one of the most impressive guilty pleasures - one that also manages to be much more clever than it presents itself. All DLC is included, and the overall experience is polished to a mirror-like sheen. Anyone who initially wrote off Saints Row: The Third as a insipid Grand Theft Auto knock-off, might want to give it another chance. There is more going on than just being a simple third-person sandbox action game.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered does what it promises as a remaster and nothing more.

While yes…there are still some performance problems, Saints Row the Third Remastered is a helluva fun game, especially with friends. The story missions will have you rolling with laughter, and there’s no setback if you find yourself in the middle of a shootout between all three gangs and the Steelport police. It’s just all good fun. And with all the craziness going on in the world, it’s nice to have a game to lose yourself in that makes you not take yourself quite as seriously and reminds you to be thankful for the time you have and tackle life one day at a time.
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.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a great come back for a 10 year old game. beside the strengths of the original game, Remastered version offers truly impressive visual upgrades which sometimes even look like true remake rather than a simple remaster. Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a great remaster of a very fun game that is surely worth a try.

But speaking from my heart, I maintain that this is, in a number of ways, a compromised version of Saints Row: The Third that the new coat of paint doesn’t really make up for. However, if you were fortunate enough to play the game back when it first came out, especially when it was working fully, this is a very pretty way to look back at it.
For those who can look past these faults, there's a good amount of varied missions that can offer a real sense of catharsis. But its good ideas are too often marred by outdated sensibilities, both in terms of game design and in how it caters almost exclusively to the fantasies of the stereotypical straight white male.
Saints Row the Third Remastered is a massive slab of fun and depravity that will remind you why this series became GTA's most successful rival
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.

While it's by no means a bad game, Saints Row: The Third Remastered may be just a bit too dated for newcomers to fully enjoy.
Saints Row: The Third - Remastered is about the minimum you can expect from a remaster. It looks better, contains all of the DLC, and it does what it needs to do. However, you can't escape the fact that Saints Row 4: Re-Elected, which is already available, hits almost all of the same marks while being a more enjoyable game with almost all of the same features and significantly better humor. If you enjoyed the original Saints Row: The Third, then this is a good way to revisit it, but for newcomers, there are better entries in the series to try.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a quirky and addictive action game that's one of the best remasters on Xbox One.
With some huge visual improvements, the remastered version of Saints Row 3 is one of the best remasters in the current generation, period.

A release worthy of wearing the remastered label.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered feels like that old friend who keeps cracking the same jokes over and over, and while some of them still feel funny, most of them don't.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered is an impressive return to this title. The developer went out of their way to bring this title back with plenty of upgrades and overhauls to make it feel like we remember. I do wish the game remained locked at 60fps on the newer consoles, even if it sacrificed some of the resolution though. As it stands this is the best version of the game to date and a perfect excuse for me to overrun Steelport once again.
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.

A remaster that stays stupid, crazy and hilarious, with all the bling of the current generation.
