If you like side missions, this is for you. If you like the storyline, this isn't for you. It has a really REALLY short story with a bunch of side missions for you to complete once you are done with the story line.

The Saints Row franchise was doing just fine after IV so why did we exactly need this? Not sure about it, but it seems the Devs weren’t sure either. I gotta say, I even liked the broken PC port of SR2 more than this, and that’s f#cking bad. As usual, I will start with what the game does terrible, and go up from there:

First and foremost, the story. It had tons of potential, and then they took that potential, glued it to a ton of bricks, threw it to the ocean right next to Megatron and Bin Laden and then NUKED IT JUST TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS DEAD FOREVER. The story is a God-forsaken f#cking joke. There’s LITERALLY JUST 4 STORY MISSIONS, ONE OF THEM BEING A FORCED TUTORIAL AND ANOTHER ONE JUST A LONG-#SS CUTSCENE. WHY. I’m not f#cking around, that’s seriously horrible! And the worst part is that, instead of adding more story to the game, they force you to play activities to progress through, which are always the same and feel completely hollow, so it won't just take you an hour to complete it. Something that also pisses me off is explaining most of the story by images with narration instead of using the game engine for it, like it has been done for the last four f#cking games, which is lame as hell and poor writing. It looked like the game could pull it off at the end with the good amount of different endings, but THEY F#CKED UP THAT AS WELL! Of 6 endings, only ONE is even worth your attention, and that one is just images and more narration. I’m not kidding, one of those “endings” is just the camera rotating around Gat for 15 seconds around a pitch-black area and him just saying ONE WORD. WHAT THE SH#T.

So the story sucks atomic balls, is the gameplay any better? Well… At times. It’s uninspired as hell, as guns and powers are quite blatant reskins from the previous game, and the game lacks any challenge. I went from start to finish on Hard-Core difficulty and I'm still waiting for the challenge to come at some point.

Something that also pisses me off as a Saints Row fan is Dex. What kind of lame-#ss conclusion is this!? After what he does in SR1, after running away and the main character declaring he would get revenge soon in SR2 and NOT EVEN BEING MENTIONED ONCE IN SR3, and then just getting a barely noticeable mention at the beginning of IV, Dex comes back… To just get killed over and over. You can’t talk to him, you can’t do sh#t with him, just kill him or ignore him, that’s it. It doesn’t even make sense, Kinzie doesn’t know him most likely and she still murders the poor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in cold blood. This is just… Lazy and lame as all hell.

Lastly, the collectables. Listen, it’s cool to add them. The sound clips you can find on the map? They’re great, add more of those! However, having a story mode that barely even lasts an hour and then FILLING THE MAP WITH OVER A THOUSAND CLUSTERS is just a cruel, sadistic f#cking joke. There wasn’t even that big of a need for them, the game could’ve just had half of them and still be fine! THEY’RE ALL OVER THE ♥♥♥♥ING PLACE, IT’S A PAIN TO COLLECT THEM ALL! It just feels like another cheap way to make the game artificially longer.

Does the game have something good though? Well…

The gameplay is somewhat neat. The flying controls are a bit weird at first, with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ inverted controls bullsh#t by default, but once you change that crap and get used to it, it actually feels better than the gliding powers from the previous SRIV game.

Some of the activities were also fun. Not many, specially the ones that go around flying really f#cking fast as you’ll leave them to the end of the game, but they could’ve been much worse.

Characters are also okay. There’s barely many of them, and there’s a ton of wasted potential as many villains from previous games could have come back as boss and would’ve extended the story, such as Killbane or that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ronin bald f#ck, but instead you’ll see A FEW OF THEM in a cutscene or two and that’s it. The ones that are here are well voice-acted and playing as both Gat and Kinzie feels great. The game could’ve also used some customization with both, but meh…

And that’s kind of it. This “Stand-alone DLC” seriously feels wrong. A ton of wasted potential, void of what made previous games fun. I would only recommend it to big SR fans and even then, at a really low price.

TL;DR Edition: A DLC that barely has content. The story is as lack-luster as it can possibly get, and a lot of stuff has been copied and pasted from SRIV. I don’t recommend it, you’re not missing anything too great here. Instead just replay SRIV, or buy the Xmas DLC, at least that’s fun as hell.

FUN BUT SHORT
^All you need to know

It's like a reskinned Saints Row IV, instead of Aliens you get Demons. Instead of simulated powers you get Lucifer's Halo. The main story itself is short but there are a lot of side quests, distractions and activities you can do as well as collectibles like audio logs and some other weapons. I'm not into those things really so I don't think I will be finishing anything else aside from the main quest.
It's pretty cheap and if you buy the game of the century bundle it's in there so I don't see any reason not to get this game.

Saints row the third is a good game but it was unfinished and rushed out for money to save Thq. But it did well enough for deep silver to want to buy it and ♥♥♥♥ up the formula which proved to be less successful. But now we get saints row WITHOUT MUSIC and Without cribs.

Dear Volition
Remaster saints row 2 and don't let those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s at deep silver push you around

-Sincerely your biggest fan

More of Saints Row 4, now in hellish city and artstyle. City is filled with demons and lost souls, not aliens and humans, but gameplay is more of the same as in 4. So if you liked 4 and want more, you will enjoy Gat out of Hell as much as I did, but if you didnt like Saints Row 4 at all, you will hate Gat out of Hell.

Great fun game. Contains best concentrated features from Saints Row 4, like superpowers and other gameplay mechanics. Could be considered as SR4 DLC, but actually has enturely redesigned map, and needs at least 20 hours to complete it for 100%, Pretty casual though, even the hardocre mode is quite easy.

I have only recently had this game, however it is definitely a good game if you want something to play fairly quickly or want some more time with the Saints.

Gat Out of Hell is an expansion of Saints Row IV, following after the events of said game, where at a birthday party for Kinzie, the team uses an JuJu board and asks if the boss will ever have a partner. It is then suddenly the boss is sucked into hell.

Your mission, whether you play as Gat himself or Kinzie, is to retrieve the boss' soul from Hell.

The gameplay is nearly identical to Saints Row IV, with the same design as well as a few challenges which are similar. Although on my part, the keyboard/mouse controls for actions such as 'Flight' are very tricky and unfortunately irritating.

The extension is mainly focused on the story rather than being able to run around killing demons, and it could be pretty much finished around 5-6 hours if you don't collect audio tomes and every cluster. Activites in this game are also more challenging than in SRIV, so if you felt a bit empty of a challenge in SRIV, give a go or two at Salvation maybe.

There's not much to say about the game on my part for now, however I recommend you use a gamepad if you have one, because the game seems to be much easier with that rather than kb/mouse.

The game does not fail to deliver entertainment as you complete musical numbers, rally with club DJ/prolific bard William Shakespeare and help Vlad the Impaler out of the trance that is The Wheels on the Bus.

Despite control issues, I definitely recommend it if you have the time.

Grate game awsome Story a bit short thow :D

*short*

Volition just broke (bugs) and abandoned the game

*long*

I am, by myself, very big fan of Saints Row series, and i've enjoed that game, when it first released and now i was planning to play it once again with friends but..
