You buy or overtake property, which in return gives you a constant stream of income. To establish the grasp of the Saints in Santo Ileso, you go on missions to fight off the rival gangs and take over more and more territory as you progress through the main story. This also goes beyond the familiar framework of the story. Instead of reinventing the wheel, Volition clearly approached this game with the mindset of evolution, not revolution.

This is a Saints Row game through and through. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, since those games are now around 15 years old and since doing an actual reboot and starting fresh is actually a pretty good idea that ends up working well for the game.

Sounds familiar? Yeah, Saints Row doesn't stray too far from the path of the first games in the series. To do that, you and your ragtag group of friends establish your gang in a (genuinely very cool) base and steadily grow the size of the organization. Throughout the game, you establish the gang in the city of Santo Ileso, against three rivaling factions: Los Panteros, The Idols and Marshall Defense Industries. Saints Row Review: This is still a Saints Row game through and through. In the Saints Row reboot, you take on the role of "The Boss", a self-created character who is the leader of the Saints (btw, the character creator is really great again, and I made a hilariously hideous dude, who you unfortunately won't see here since I couldn't take screenshots while playing).
