With its variety of missions and challenges, the controls aren't as intuitive as they should be. Saints Row IV's sandbox world is a bit too open for players who like structure to their gameplay. The balance of the superpowers in the game isn't perfect because even when you are powered up, enemies can still be a challenge to defeat. You gain these on missions and level them up to make you almost invincible.

You can learn telekinesis, super jumps, super sprint, and others. It feels like Volition crammed too much into a single game. There's a lot to unlock with the numerous side quests and collectibles. With the massive amount of missions and challenges, Saints Row IV can feel overwhelming. There are so many new objectives being presented that it never gets boring. 'Anything goes' is a trend as you earn superpowers, play with crazy weapons like the Dubstep gun to make people dance, and illogical missions with game show themes. It's by using the ideas from The Matrix that allows the sandbox game to expand into a world without rules. It's not a big problem because if you know the series, it's part of the hilarious plot. Obviously Saints Row IV liberally 'borrows' from The Matrix. The Zin turn humans into slaves, where their minds 'live' in an unreal universe, controlled through a computer program.

Shortly after the election, aliens attack Earth and the Zin change the rules of the game. This all happens in an over-the-top way, which is something expected of the series. The first mission triggers the a 'choice' to become the President of the United States of America. The game begins a few years after the end of Saints Row: The Third.
