Saints Row came out this week and it had a rough launch, to say the least. Now some are worried the poor reviews, shallow gameplay, and lack of character could spell the end for the entire franchise.
In other news; PS5 getting a big price hike, Dead Island 2 was announced, Death Stranding is on Game Pass now, and Netflix is getting into cloud gaming.
This week’s 5-Second Review bucks the trending stuff to talk about the games that really matter and the Coming Soon section has way too many games but also The Last of Us Part 1 is out next week.
Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
