The Intro<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Title:<\/strong> How the Saints Save Christmas (Saints Row IV DLC)<\/p>\n

Release year:<\/strong> 2013<\/p>\n

Developed by:<\/strong> Volition<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Action-adventure<\/p>\n

Platform replayed on:<\/strong> PC<\/p>\n

Complete chaos.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what comes to mind when trying to describe Saints Row IV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Saints

This is a game where you play as the President of the United States, defending Earth from an alien invasion from inside a computer simulation where you can jump tall buildings in a single bound and run like the Flash.<\/p>\n

\"Saints
Super Jump!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If that\u2019s not enough craziness for you, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a long term Saints Row<\/em> fan, having jumped on board this crazy train with the release of the first game in the series in 2006.<\/p>\n

At first, to me Saints Row<\/em> was a Grand Theft Auto<\/em> clone. And I don\u2019t consider that a negative at all. In 2006, we were two years removed from the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas<\/em>, and two years out from the release of Grand Theft Auto IV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I was happy to have another open-world crime story to explore in between Grand Theft Auto<\/em> releases. Little did I know that the Saints Row<\/em> series would grow into its own unique brand of open-world gaming, to the point where it would become, well, complete chaos.<\/p>\n

And that brings us back to Saints Row IV<\/em>, a game I completed over ten years ago. But I never played through the DLC.<\/p>\n

Given it\u2019s the festive season, what better time to see what silliness Saints Row<\/em> can bring to the Silly Season in How the Saints Save Christmas<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Saints Row IV<\/em> quickly shakes up the open-world formula it had used up until this point in the series. Where guns and vehicles were the main ways to get things done, the superpowers spin removes a lot of the need to do things the old way.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m getting ahead of myself. How did we end up with superpowers??<\/p>\n

\"Saints

In Saints Row IV<\/em>, you play as a customisable but nameless character, known simply as \u201cThe Boss\u201d, where you continue to lead the street gang \u201cThe Saints\u201d. The game begins with the meteoric rise of The Saints all the way to the White House.<\/p>\n

Reality quickly gives way to science fiction fantasy, as you find yourself locked inside a computer simulation after aliens invade Earth.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, The Boss has a super-smart sidekick in Kinzie, who manages to locate him in the simulation.<\/p>\n

\"Saints
Kinzie has all the answers.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As he\u2019s in a simulation, the normal rules of running and gunning don\u2019t apply. The Boss soon learns to Super Sprint and Super Jump.<\/p>\n
