Saints Row IV: Enter the Dominatrix Critic Reviews

Definitely recommended for anyone who cannot get enough gimp chariot racing.

It's consistently hilarious.

The behind-the-scenes retrospective angle is good for a few laughs, and it’s fun to see the new characters, battles, and goofy ending that could have been.

Enter the Dominatrix, as a new batch of downloadable gameplay content, is short, disjointed, and not especially challenging. As an entire experience, however, it’s an utterly fascinating look at what was left on the cutting-room floor in the making of Saints Row IV—and a must for any serious fans of the latest adventures of the 3rd Street Saints.

Gamers looking for a sizable chunk of new content to burn through should probably steer clear since it’s over in the blink of an eye, but fans of the Saints experience can look forward to something that’s totally bizarre, yet still completely in line with the smart new slant of the series. Also, there are dinosaurs.

If you expect nothing too much, Enter the Dominatrix will be worth your while. It may be short and easy but the jokes are great and the missions are absurd in a good way.

There's a faint whiff of missed opportunity about Enter The Dominatrix, then, but four or five really good laughs are enough to warrant a cautious thumbs-up. Volition's made a half-decent fist of reheating its own leftovers, and with the injection of fresh ingredients, the next episode - brilliantly titled How The Saints Saved Christmas - promises to be even more of a giggle.

The jokes and plot twists are more bizarre than ever, but even they don’t always hit their mark – and without them this is an even less interesting gameplay experience than its parent game.

Enter The Dominatrix is a simple DLC package that adds five missions and extra content to unlock. The missions are never challenging, and never manages to get as hilarious as you’d expect, though it can still be quite entertaining. Because the other content isn’t enough reason to keep playing, you’ll be done with it in one and a half hours. Except for a few shits and giggles, it doesn’t have much to offer.

Enter the Dominatrix is a DLC for Saints Row IV that we can recommend only to diehard fans of the series: so focused onto silly dialogues and situations to the point of overlook almost completely the quality of the gameplay.
