Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (2015): A Hell of a Good Time
After the over-the-top antics of Saints Row IV, many fans wondered what Volition could possibly do next. The answer? Shoot the Devil in the face, of course. Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is a standalone expansion that takes the series’ signature brand of over-the-top action and humor to new heights, sending players to the depths of Hell to rescue the soul of Saints leader Playa.
Players can choose to play as either Johnny Gat or Kinzie Kensington as they tear apart Hell in a quest to save Playa’s soul. Along the way, they’ll encounter a cast of colorful characters, including historical icons like Vlad the Impaler and William Shakespeare, as well as old friends and enemies from the Saints Row series.
One of the most striking things about Gat Out of Hell is its setting. Hell is a vast and varied world, with everything from fiery wastelands to frozen tundras. The game’s developers have done an excellent job of creating a unique and memorable environment that feels both fresh and familiar.
The gameplay in Gat Out of Hell is similar to that of Saints Row IV, with a focus on over-the-top action and humor. Players can use a variety of weapons and abilities to fight their way through hordes of demons and other enemies. The game also features a number of new gameplay mechanics, such as the ability to summon and ride demons, and a new “Hellblazing” mechanic that allows players to unleash powerful attacks.
One of the highlights of Gat Out of Hell is its cast of characters. Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington are both incredibly charismatic and likable protagonists, and their interactions with the other characters are often hilarious. The game also features a number of memorable supporting characters, including Satan himself, who is voiced by the legendary Keith David.
The story in Gat Out of Hell is surprisingly well-written, with a good balance of action, humor, and heart. The game’s main villain, Satan, is a complex and compelling character, and his motivations are both understandable and relatable. The game’s ending is also satisfying, providing closure to the story of Playa and the Saints.
Overall, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is a hell of a good time. It’s a standalone expansion that offers a unique and memorable experience, with over-the-top action, humor, and a surprisingly well-written story. If you’re a fan of the Saints Row series, or if you’re just looking for a fun and over-the-top action game, then Gat Out of Hell is definitely worth checking out.
