Saints Row IV: Re-Elected & Gat Out of Hell Critic Reviews

It maintains its unique fun and the new DLC is a remarkable add, but the remastering is pretty poor, with no real improvements.

It is, at once, a love letter to where it came from and an ultimate advancement of its best ideas into something considerably bigger, more cohesive, and infinitely more fun.

High Value as a package Deal. The Saints are back and kicking some Demon Tail in the DLC Stand Alone Add on.

Saints Row IV is just as much silly, largely challenge-free fun in Re-Elected as it was originally, even if it doesn't look as impressive as other recent remasters.

The visuals aren't great and Gat out of Hell isn't exactly innovating, but Saints Row remains a highly enjoyable experience, due to its ideal combination of humour, action and open world activities. If you haven't played this before, it is definitely recommended.

If you're expecting (or demand) a makeover similar to that seen in last year's Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, though, this is a long way from being that.

If you played the game on PS3 or Xbox 360, we can hardly advise you to open your wallet for Saints Row 4 : Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell. Even with the large amount of content the game brings, 50 euros is still too much to ask for a GOTY edition without any visual improvements.

Saints Row IV is as fun as ever. The New Gen consoles' power doesn't add much to the game however. And Gat Out Of Hell is clearly missable.

As a budget bundle, Saints Row 4: Re-elected and 'Gat out of Hell' is worth considering if you're looking to waste a few weekends before this year's influx of blockbuster releases.

Despite the outrageous plot and bizarre weapons this is a disappointingly mundane expansion beneath all the silliness, and one that addresses none of the parent game’s failings.
