While technically not a part of the main Saints Row franchise, Agents of Mayhem shares quite a few themes and design choices, with more importantly the fleur-de-lis symbol iconic to the series once again taking the centre stage here as the logo to the superhero (Think S.H.I.E.L.D.

Brilliant Voice Acting; Unique Characters With Personality; Particle Effects; Well Animated Intros; Actually Humorous

Game Breaking Bugs; Repetitive Mission Structure; Lacking Optimisation on PC; Paywalled Skins And GAT Behind DLC

Volition Entertainment put a time-bending end to the Saints Row Franchise the last time we saw a game from them, so expectations were high for the storied studio's first post- Saints adventure. Enter Agents of Mayhem , a homage to campy action hero cartoons of the 80s and 90s.

Agents are the right mix of goofy and fun; Switching between Agents at will; GI Joe aesthetic works big time; Animated cutscenes are beautiful

Repetitive missions drag the game down; Missed potential with Agents themselves; Open world; but no reason to see it; Glitches galore; mostly in the background

In many ways, Agents of Mayhem feels like a child smashing action figures together and making explosion sound effects. On one hand (the one holding the bad guy), the game is a shallow rumination on good versus evil.

Sonic Mania is a brilliant return to form for the series' long-time away from traditional 2D games. Even if a few less remixed stages and more new zones would have been a nice change of pace, Sonic Mania's joyful level of ingenuity even in reimagining familiar sights is a testament to some of the...

Sonic Mania is a wonderful celebration of what's made Sonic so great in the past while also striving to push it forward. This isn't to say it's perfect – it has some of the problems of the previous games as well – but it's such a perfect encapsulation of old Sonic games, it's impressive.

If you like saints row, you have to get this game. The characters and humor are the best parts of the game. Gameplay gets repetitive but it's fun to play regardless. Definitely worth the 20 bucks.

If you like the humour in saints row 4, you will probably like this. Don't pay full price for it though. It is a fun diversion at best as the game has no real depth. Whereas saints row 4 became more fun due to how powerful you became, the attempt to add challenge here just makes it a game that is...

3 star from a shipping and customer service perspective. There are far better games out there, this is not even good enough to kill time. Controls are sluggish and clunky, graphics reminds me of the original star fox, especially the "vehicles", low poly count with low details at best.

Like the Kevin Smith version of A New Hope I imagine almost daily, Sonic Mania is a game made by fans, for fans. And that's not a bad thing. Newcomers may be turned off by the intermittent difficulty spikes, but others may finally understand why many childhoods were spent looking for a kid who had a...

Eggscellent Level Design; Eggsceptional Art Style; Feels like Sonic

Frustratingly Old-School; Tags

Overall, Sonic Mania is the perfect callback to the series that Sonic needed. Fans of the series will remember their old gaming days, while newcomers will see what made Sonic such a great series years ago.
