VGC’sSaints Row reviewlabeled the game a “buggy, dull mess”, and it currently has scores of 61-65 on the review aggregation siteMetacritic.
EmbracerCEO Lars Wingefors previouslysaid he was personally disappointedby the reception toSaints Row, when he spoke during Embracer’s AGM in September.
“Personally, I had hoped for a greater reception to the game,” he said at the time. “It’s been very polarising. There are a lot of things that could be said in detail around it, but I’m with one hand happy to see lots of gamers and fans happy, and at the same time I’m a bit sad to also see fans not happy, so it’s difficult.
“I think we need to wait for the quarterly report in November to have more details around this. We’re still fairly early in our release window and still collecting data, and there is also bug fixing and more content coming.

“On the financial side, I know, or I’m confident we will make money on the investment. Would it have as great a return on investment as we have seen in many other games? Not very likely, but we will make money, and that’s a very good starting point at least.”
