Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell

While some things might just appear a reskin of the super power stuff Volition has done already in Saints Row IV, the presentation of it all and how it wraps up together in Hell gives it a pass. Make no mistake this isn’t a full blown adventure but a ‘just go with it’ adrenaline rollercoaster ride; it has its ups and downs, with plenty of big drops for the rush, but it’ll be over soon enough. Gat out of Hell is a great round off to the Saints Row adventure as it gets wackier and wacki...

Outside of retconning Saints Row’s lore, or sending the 3rd Street Saints on a time-traveling adventure, Gat Out of Hell would appear to be the final outing for the purple fleur-de-lis. Over the course of four games, the Saints paved a trail of glory unlike anything we’ve seen. Their ambitions started small: liberate Stilwater’s streets from the violence inflicted by rival gangs. That endeavor led to great fame and power: fast cars, skyscrapers, armies, and even control of the White House. With the Saints’ leader standing tall as the President of the United States of America, this small gang b...

Overall your stay in Hell will only last about 3-4 hours unless you want to do all of the side content. It's a short stay but definitely a decent one. I think this game is worth a pick up if you are a Saints Row or Johnny Gat fan.

Volition knows exactly what the Saints Row series is. It's dumb, enjoyable fun that's not to be taken too seriously. Gat out of Hell certainly fits that criteria and though it's a smaller package this time around, it's still nice to take a short weekend trip to hell. Just don't expect to stay very long.

Gat out of Hell is not bad, but it's not great either. To put it simply, it's more Saints Row IV. If you go into it thinking its going to have all new gameplay with an all new story, you are going to be disappointed. It's fun but the overwhelming feel of deja vu may sour you a bit on it.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is the Saints Row you know and love, minus the good stuff. A lack of humor, repetitive missions and structure for this short expansion leave a lot to be desired.

Even so, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is a tremendous value when viewed as a DLC add-on for Saints Row 4 and it looks and plays better than ever on current-gen. This is not Saints Row 4.5, even if there is a new open world and story. Rather, this is a re-purposing of the main game's mechanics and mission concepts in support of a new frame work, and there's really nothing wrong with that. As a fan, it would have been nice to see more of a story and mission variety - something to inject a little more personality into the world - but what is there makes for a fun mini adventure. Gamers looking for...

“The Saints go straight to hell, both literally and metaphorically, in Saints Row IV standalone expansion, Gat Out of Hell.”

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is the easiest game I’ve played in ages. Coming in at around four hours (if you’re relatively direct), this standalone expansion is a breeze. The combat is undemanding, the supernatural abilities are hilariously overpowered, and even the final boss is a pussycat. You’d get more of a challenge playing Barbie’s Dreamhouse Party.

Don’t get me wrong, this game can be fun when you’re engaged in big battles against the demons, but outside of that it is lacking character. Gat Out Of Hell does come included with Saints Row IV: Re-Elected on new generation consoles, but you can also download the expansion on its own on both Xbox One and PS4. On last gen the boxed version currently costs £25 but I don’t think there’s enough there to warrant that price unless you’re genuinely a huge Saints Row fan.
