I didn't know it came to Steam, I was genuinely a fan of the third game. The blend of parody and satire of celebrity culture and action hero super criminals was a lot of fun. However I'm always kinda felt like it was a game of its time (not in a bad way) and a reboot of Saints Row never really made sense. I would understand a sequel of Agents of Mayhem that reworked its mechanics and built off that more than a Saints Row reboot. Saints Row plainly doesn't work in the modern age, at least not whatever this game is.
Honestly 3 was really good for what it was and when it came out, and both 4 and the weird spinoff where they're all in hell were fun and had some decent gags as well as pretty fun mechanics with the superpowers in 4 and the flying in gat outta hell. The worst thing about both of those is that they felt like half-baked DLCs for 3 more than anything, and gat outta hell in particular just hit a wall where they clearly ran out of time and/or funding.

Agreed!
Saint's Row 4 felt very much like an expansion pack of a game rather than a sequel. It brought absolutely nothing new to the series. I don't mean than in a salty way, it was fun, but it was nothing but more saints row 3. It was basically "saints row 3 - director's cut" or "Saints Row 3+" . Something bigger than a DLC, but something less than an another fully featured entry into the series. I remember my friend saying that "Saints Row 4 plays like a video game pitch", which I think is sadly an accurate way to describe it.
Gat outta Hell let like a bit a rough draft of a love letter and a fun goodbye from the developers. It just felt like they had a good time making it and gave them a chance to have one more romp through the Saints Row world, but not felt like a fully realized farewell. The voice cast seemed to have fun, and the game itself seem sincere (as much as a Saints Row game can) but it totally runs out of steam by the time you meet Jezebel.
Saints Row are meant to be dumb escapism and fun which I believe they succeed at on several levels. Can't beat the rich customization options, and crudely charming world. However, I was felt always like they could have been a bit more if they tried. Like a slacker student, making fart jokes and smoking weed but shows actual high aptitude at times.
a reboot of Saints Row never really made sense
I mean how would you bring a new plot
just as zany as the other Saints Row gamesto the table after what they did in SR4 and it's spinoff?Multiverse hijinks /s
