Hobby Consolas says this is the same remaster as Crash Bandicoot N. The original content remained unchanged including gameplay, tasks, and even flaws. But the project received an excellent visual update that can be mentioned by gamers due to lighting effects, reflections, and models. This is a good remake of the great adventure, which continues to give pleasure, just like ten years ago.
Wccftech says that Saints Row: The Third Remastered is an explosive, criminal action movie game with an open area where users can wreak havoc. Saints from Third Street are ridiculous, missions are stupid, and the design looks better than ever. It is unlikely that it can become a favorite game, but it is still an unforgettable, stupid, and enjoyable adventure.
DualShockers says that while running around Steelport with his bros, he was glad that Saints Row 5 would eventually be released.
And the Trusted Reviews review says that Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a decent update to the open-world classics, which nevertheless does not mitigate the flaws of the original in order to properly take advantage of modern platforms.
