I love the Saints Row franchise to which this game was meant to be a spiritual successor, so it's rather saddening that I can't suggest Agents of Mayhem. The fundamentals of the gameplay are fine, with a variety of abilities and respectable movement and shooting mechanics. However, the writing and world that made the Saints Row games so deeply engaging are simply absent here. The jokes fall flat, the character interactions are dry and predictable, and the futuristic Seoul setting is completely devoid of character. There is supposedly a new Saints Row reboot game in the works, and I hope it is able to achieve what Agents of Mayhem could not.
