The entry most fans point to: an open city with genuine variety in activities, co-op through the entire campaign, and a tone that swings between crude comedy and surprisingly dark story beats. The PC port is the problem — it shipped badly and still needs community patches to run properly, which is a real barrier before you start.

A standalone expansion set in Hell, built around flight: you unlock wings early and the whole map is designed for vertical movement rather than driving. That traversal is the best part. It is very short — a few hours — and reuses the systems and much of the structure of Saints Row IV without adding a real campaign.

The template every later Far Cry followed: outposts to liberate, towers to climb, and a genuinely good stealth loop with a bow that makes clearing a camp silently the most satisfying thing in it. The second half loses the plot once the antagonist exits, and the island's activities repeat well before you finish clearing them.

Superpowers replace most of the driving: you sprint faster than cars and glide over buildings, which makes the open world trivial to cross and much more fun to move through. Combat is chaotic rather than precise. It reuses the previous game's city wholesale, and once you have full powers almost nothing offers resistance.
