From Zinyak’s melodramatic speeches to Keith David’s deadpan commentary, there’s very few moments that won’t elicit a chuckle while you play. Its action-comedy narrative does an excellent job of balancing humor, over the top combat and even bits of character-focused drama very well and you’ll quickly grow to love the interactions between each of the characters. Instead of a crime drama like its predecessors, Saints Row IV‘s story feels in many ways like a love-letter to cheesy action/sci-fi movies mixed with clever parodies of popular games like Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty. Shoved into a digital representation of your home city of Steelport, it’s up to you to break free of the system, rescue your crew, and take out Zinyak. Your presidency is short-lived, as the world is attacked by an alien overlord named Zinyak, who seeks to conquer humanity for some diabolical purpose. One successfully disarmed nuclear missile later (done to the tune of Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”), your character, as leader of the Saints, manages to get elected President of the United States. Saints Row IV starts off with the titular gang seeking to do more than just be a popular group of puckish rogues who rob banks for fun and party all the time.
