Saints Row The Third Remastered adds a shiny coat of paint to the fan-favourite and brings the experience to current-gen consoles. As the third game in the Saints Row series it's the one that fully embraced its comical, juvenile, and silly side wholeheartedly. Although a little aged on the design front, it's an experience that is still a co-op treat.
For the videogame scholars out there, this is the entry that introduced the dildo-bat, a floppy and bright purple melee weapon shaped like a sex toy. In that it is a sex toy you can use to beat up members of rival gangs. Or stand there hitting the bonnet of a supped-up cop car. Which really, tells you all you need to know. The over-the-top and comic tone of the third Saints Row game from developer Volition is fun pure and simple. Crass, sure – but the democratic approach to most of what you see and do is refreshing.
You can (and should) dress up your fellow Saints NPC “Homies” in gimp suits, which makes their encounters against cyberspace goths look nothing short of hilarious. And when you team up with a real-world homie to tackle missions and activities in co-op, it borders on brilliant.
