I’ve spent the last week playing Saints Row on last-gen PS4 and Xbox One systems – and honestly? It’s really not that bad. The fundamental technological issues remain: the glaring shadow pop-in is back – and actually a bit worse here. The buggy NPC animations and physics return too. Of course, the 60fps target of the PS5 and Series X versions gives way to something worse – a sub-40fps frame-rate or even sub-30 in stress-test scenarios. Performance is still unlocked too, when a 30fps cap really would have made a positive difference, but I went into this one with low expectations, which the last-gen versions comfortably exceed.
