Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (Video Game Review)

Deep Silver will release the stand-alone version of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell on January 20th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The new expansion allows gamers to take on the roles of Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington who must venture to the pits of Hell to rescue The Boss. Are you ready to fly your way through the fiery holes of damnation?




Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell starts out with a menu to play the campaign either alone or with a friend through three difficulty levels (Casual, Normal, Hardcore). The story begins like a classic fairytale involving Gat and Kinzie that slowly evolves into a waking nightmare for our duo. While celebrating Kinzie birthday with a fabulous party everyone decides to have a little fun with an old Ouija board from the artifact collection of Aleister Crowley. The upbeat party turns deadly when a gate to hell opens and sucks in the President which forces Johnny and Kinzie to follow.

Hell is one gruelish-looking prison packed full of damned souls and never-ending fire. Your first task is to go to Ultor which involves stealing a vehicle and making your way across the dark, ashy environments. The over-the-top humor that Saints Row is known for is found throughout the short campaign combined with the superb voice acting of the characters really sends the story into overdrive in Gat Out of Hell.

After a rundown from Dane, we soon learn that The President has apparently caused a lot of chaos, which attracted the personal attention of Satan. Satan ultimately decides that he wants to drag him to Hell in order to marry his daughter Jezebel. Your duo must engage Satan's Wrath in order to get up-and-close with the ruler of Hell which forces the team to make allies (like deceased enemies and former saints) and upgrade their abilities/weapons to perform outrageous tasks.

After acquiring the Devil's own broken Halo, we discover some fun new gameplay mechanics giving players angelic flight thanks to their very own wings. You can now fly around Hell like a Boss while exploring the massive open-world sandbox adventure! However, despite your superhuman abilities, you still need to equip some powerful weapons from armories located around New Hades. Players will need to venture through the five segments of New Hades (Shantytown, Barrens, Downtown, Forge, and the Den) gathering collectibles, items, and Soul Clusters in order to prepare their selves for the perils that lie ahead.


Every last crevice in Hell is up for exploration and completing various mini-games throughout the world will help you piss off Satan more and more. Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is just one huge mini-game that lasts around 5-8 hours and involves doing nothing but wreaking chaos the whole time! If you are the type of player that is strictly quest-oriented then you may find Gat out of Hell's repetition to be slightly disappointing. Some of the activities found throughout the expansion are just revamped activities from the game with a hellish twist.

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell offers the chance to explore new areas, weapons based off the Seven Deadly Sins and eccentric characters for an action-packed adventure like never before. The expansion performs like most expansions should--to give you just a few more hours of gameplay at a title that you already love to play--but have literally done everything there is to do already! Can Gat Out of Hell feel repetitive and like a bag of bones divergent of meat? Yes. The story lacks the expansive charm of the game so basically you feel like you are left with a bag of bones instead of the usual large helping of meat and potatoes. However, gamers have to remember this is a stand-alone expansion and offers up quite a bit of fun for its $19.99 price tag.

In the end, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell was a wild adventure that we frankly got a kick out of despite its downfalls. It was actually fun just to cause non-stop carnage within the pits of Hell while exploring all of the new environments and fun weapons strewn throughout it. If you enjoy the Saints Row series and the non-stop zaniness that it has to offer then you will appreciate the Gat Out of Hell expansion while trying not to over-think it.

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell releases January 20th from all major retailers for the MSRP of $19.99 and can be purchased for PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is rated M by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Content, Strong Language & Use of Drugs.
