On the internet I've been seeing people try to say that Saints Row 4 is not a bad Saints Row game and for a long time I agreed with that, the super powers are fun and some parts of the story are actually funny and enjoyable but after replaying SR2, SR3, and now SR4 I find my opinion quickly changing each time I hop on this game with a friend to replay it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The side quests do get a bit repetitive after a while, but there are tons of weapons and abilities to mess around with.
Graphics

Adjusting these parameters clears up visual noise from the older console versions, letting the art style shine with clarity.
