Summary

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected has a TrueGG Rating of 79.7%: the positive share among 384 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours. That is 7.9 points below Steam's overall 87.6%, so players who really play the current version are harsher than the headline number suggests (all time: 90.1%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 7% of the total, with 71% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs, updates and the developers, and community and co-op. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, the story, and 前作・シリーズ.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 85.2%, 5.5 points above all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (87.2% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.
