Is Saints Row IV: Re-Elected for me?
If you are a fan of third-person action games, Grand Theft Auto style, but with a bit more sci-fi storyline and chaos (leap over buildings and kill people with your mind), you’ll love Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. The game has a single player storyline, co-op abilities, and an online multiplayer. It also has a 7.8/10 rating on IGN and a dedicated following of fans throughout its history.
