Saints Row 2 did that with more everything along with introducing co-op to the series for the first time (it's still my personal favorite). The original Saints Row started off as an unapologetic GTA clone, arriving in the era between San Andreas and GTA 4, though it did set itself apart with an emphasis on third-person gunplay and gang dynamics. While we'll have to wait until Februto play the new beginning for the open-world crime series, you can start playing the game that arguably set the Saints Row franchise on its course back in 2011 for free on Epic Games Store now - no rush, you have until September 2 to claim your copy. Developer Volition unveiled Saints Row at Gamescom Opening Night Live with a cinematic trailer and a brief snippet of gameplay - along with introducing one of the actors behind the new (and still fully customizable) Boss, your playable protagonist.
