It's the kind of Farmville you can play and not hate yourself for after.

I start the game 180 days from retirement. Try to be a good cop. Get killed by the mafia after 10 days.
Play again. Be a dirty cop, working with mafia family. Get killed by the other mob family.
Play again. Try to play both sides. Die anyway.
Game message: Death is inevitable.
Game be deep.

10/10 would die again.

This is NOT the Stanley Parable. Do not let anyone try to fool you into thinking that it will be a similar experience. It doesn't have the same wit or humor or choices. It tries to pass off a half-finished blocky walking simulator as a 'game' or 'project' as being deep and meaningful, little more than a barely-interactive blog video. But this game is like digital bulemia. You hope that it will somehow change you, but just end up exactly as you started, left feeling depressed and empty inside. If you really need that, watch a "Let's Play", and save your money.

What can I say that hasn't already been said a hundred times over? If you liked the movie Apollo 13, get this game. If you like space or science, get this game. If you like comical explosions and puzzles, get this game. It's challenging, but not punishing. And even when it is frustrating, it never stops being fun. You can be terrible and still have a good time. What other games can say that? A genre-defining modern classic on a par with Minecraft.
11/10.
Get this game.

For starters, 3rd party launchers like UPlay that need to always be online can suck my d!ck.
Now, as for the game,
It's worth the 80's nostalge trip, with the self-aware videogame/movie tropes. And it rides that horse all the way into the sunset. There are four or five main missions that are each ~20 to 30 minutes of game time. The rest is two types of side quests; Rescue a scientist or hunt an animal type, Liberating outposts, And collecting TV's, Tapes, and Files, which DOES unlock weapon stuff so it's worthwhile. The island is fairly small, and you can fast travel. I liked it enough to see it through to 100% completion in less than 8 hours. But after all the novelty had worn off, this game left me wanting to go back and play Far Cry 3 again instead of ever planning on playing this again. As of this writing, the pricetag is $15, but I would definitely wait until it's on sale.

Best described as turn-based "Mark of the Ninja". I've seen reviews saying that the game is too short, but I don't feel that's true. It is a game with layers of difficulty. You can make the game as difficult as you want in order to achieve bonus objectives for skill points. Often that requires playing the same level multiple times until you have that 'perfect run', which really appeals to the OCD completionist in me :). That can pad out the game length significantly (if you choose to). It also ramps up the difficulty. At some points the game gests harder than a blind lesbian's nipples in a fish market. But it never got frustrating to the point of not being FUN! The harder the challenge, the more motivating it was to beat it. I remember thinking that the first boss was IMPOSSIBLE until I had that 'ah ha!' moment and solved the problem. It was VERY satisfying. After that I felt like I was ready to take on anything the game threw at me. And it delivered!
EDIT: Well over 50 hours racked up, this is one of those games I love coming back to and playing again and again.

If you liked the previous Saints Row games, then you'll love this. And you really need have played the previous games if you want to know what the hell is going on, plot-wise. It's familiar, but with a fresh twist. When I first started playing, I thought I knew what to expect. Playing as Johny Gat in Hell. Murder, mayhem, hilarity. Check. Cars, guns and super powers? Check. I was thoroughly enjoying it, and already ready to give it a solid 9/10. But then, out of F#cking nowhere, a musical number. Amidst the violence and explosions, A FULL MUSICAL number! The voice actor for Johny Gat holding a high F note in a duet with Kinzi Kinzington!!! And in that moment this game went straight to the top into my Favorites section.
Yeah, the main story is a bit on the short side, less than half the length of play time of SR4. But then $20 is a little less than half of the normal $50 price tag on longer games. So I'd say it's worth it.

It's cheaper than the physical game!

What if Dance Dance Revolution had only two buttons, and instead of using your feet you used your fingers and instead of a foot pad, you used you mouse, and instead of dancing, you were kicking the $hit out of people? Well then you'd have this game. Yes, it only has the left and right mouse click for controls, but don't be decieved, the simple mechanic has the difficulty raised faster than an adolecent penis! But you can take em!
This game is SO MUCH FUN! And you feel like a total ninja badass too! And the voice over is the BEST! So funny! GO PLAY IT NOW!
