Saints Row: The Third first released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2011 and was a big hit with gamers and reviewers alike, achieving an average score of 84% on Metacritic.
For a long time, Saints Row was seen as the only real competitor to Grand Theft Auto, but the series changed its direction with Saints Row: The Third which saw the game take itself less seriously and move away from realism. The series veered further away from its roots though with Saints Row 4 and Agents of Mayhem, which while not a direct sequel to Saints Row, was at least set in the same universe.
