Instead you get the basic overarch, you get little cutscenes, you interested anecdotes as you move through doing various things, but it doesn’t really feel like that was a focus. Yes there is a story, but it is not feed to you in a traditional way. Simple advice, enjoy Hell a little before really diving into the meat of the story.Īctually this is one of my complaints about Gat out of Hell. If you didn’t take a playful traipse through Hell collecting Soul Clusters or doing various other side quests then that mission in itself is going to make you want to pull your hair out. For example, there is a mission you will have to do if you work on the Loyalty Quests first in which you have to save souls that are falling into hell. After all gaining your bonuses early on, just like anything else, will allow you to breeze through various missions without a care.

Just like Saints Row IV, you will need to upgrade your abilities and then yourself in order to truly open the games full potential. The ability to fly is something I assume doesn’t seem like it would fit well inside the Saints, but it does and it makes the game more enjoyable as you progress through the various side missions and choirs Johnny will have to do in order to finish his mission. Oh and Hell just so happens to have an eerie resemblance to Steelport, and cars, demons driving cars and motorcycles. Again not going to win any friends with their religious overtures. The Halo grants you the ability to sprint really fast (like you were able to in Saints Row IV) but the real change to the gameplay this time out are Lucifer’s charred still smoldering with embers angelic wings. Yep, won’t win any friends with the folks over at Westboro any time soon. Continuing this thought process the developers decided the best thing to give you an advantage in hell was to give you the broken Halo of Lucifer. Hmm, let’s see–give them super powers, check, make them the president, check, allow them to hit people with a purple dildo, why the frak not. There always this weird line in which you think to yourself they won’t cross that. This is the beauty of the overarching storyline of the Saints games. Oh, did I mention there’s a musical number too? Gat and Kinzie will team-up with old enemies of the Saints as well as old Saints themselves in order to usurp the Lord of the Underworld and get the President back to the mortal plane. Once Gat hits the nether realm though Jezebel no longer wants to marry the President and instead wants to marry the most ruthless mortal she has ever meet, Johnny Gat. Johnny Gat, long time best friend of the leader of the Saints and Kinzie Kinsington are thrown into the underworld after the President is nabbed by Satan to marry his daughter Jezebel.

Such is the case of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell. You’re not saving the world, you’re not fighting the oncoming or already happened apocalypse, you’re simply taking care of your crew no matter the cost, even if the cost just so happens mean you go to Hell and $%^k everything up. Good solid enjoyable little adventures with nothing too heavy.
#Saints row gat out of hell ps4 review series#
When the first entry came out all those years ago I felt the same as everyone else, but since Saints Row: The Third hit the series has accepted the fact it is not Grand Theft Auto and therefore everything is just tossed to the wind and they are good games. I love what it has become, and I love the continued path it keeps going down.
