Deep Silver Agents of Mayhem: Day One Edition (PS4)

Honestly, this game is buggy. Framrates are everywhere and unsteady. The shooting and aim feel wacky and way to clunky. Response/feedback from killing enemies feels way to full. Overall wasn't enjoyable experience. Overall the best part was the shipping was easy and fast.

A lot of reviewers and people didn't like this game because it wasn't "as good as saint's row" or was using saint's row as a selling point but if you choose to ignore those fact's this game is actually a good time, a lot of people try to compare it to saint's but it shouldn't be, it's a new game entirely and in fact a "franchise force" to be reckoned with if people give it a shot and it comes back in the future for a second game dood.To sum thing's up as a quick review (I can go on for ages if I try dood) it's got great characters with diverse personalities, some ranging from funny as heck to just charming and maybe one boring character in my opinion but everyone's different, it has a nice set of car's to choose from and some cool skin's too to make getting from point A-B look gooood, the characters all have a set of 5 costumes, some of which are just alternate colours while 2 are different look's so it's nice to see some effort on that front, each character has a unique weapon and set of skills to get used to with their own uses, ranging from tank for those heavy damage and close range fight's, mid-long range and stealth characters (If I were to define their fighting style's) along with classes for shield and armour penetration and hacking skills which add's more tactics to the game especially with the decent variety of enemies and the story is quite fun albeit not seen in that way due to not being quite as whacky as saint's row which like I said it shouldn't be compared dood.Okay to the bad part's then, to me these aren't the worst problems out there, especially for a big world game but it can be a little buggy, sometimes maybe you or an enemy can get stuck in a random wall or during a mission an event can stop you continuing forward in the game but the checkpoint system really fixes that and it's fun enough that doing a section again really isn't a bother at all, the music isn't great, now as much as in gameplay terms I feel it shouldn't be compared to saint's row I feel for a game where you can do a lot of driving at least some actual song's should be present rather than a few repeating techno/dubstep beats every time you get in the car making driving a bit boring which is sad considering you do enough driving that you can get tired of them easily and there are not enough proper side quest's, the one's you have are brilliant, with some decent back story and team conversations but that just leaves me wanting more dood.I will add that the bosses are also really memorable other than that I want to finish by saying this game to me is actually a triumph and that I hope in the future they make another one with more of a saint's row budget to it because you can see in comparison it was on a budget as a test to see what people thought of it (because new games and IP's are scary to companies that want to play it safe and make money) and you can tell it could have been a lot better with some more time and polish from a better budget, I missed out some thing's to keep it quick and not spoil thing's but the game has a nice set of thing's to do between missions and it's such a darn good time dood. :D

Like many others who looked forward to this I’m a huge fan of the Saints Row series. I was keen to play this especially seeing as you can use some Saints Row characters. This is a weirdness game. It does many things really well - great graphics, decent character backgrounds, the idea of using 3 agents and swapping about is great, the map albeit small is nice to free roam, the different weapons and skills allow for a ton of customisation and allow you to select whichever character you need most at any given time. There is also great voice acting, some pretty good humour on show, and lots of different missions to complete.Unfortunately, despite all of the above, this game is a 5/10 at best. It is by far the most weirdly repetitive game I have ever played. Every mission is limited to doing the exact same 4-5 tasks that are actually normally side quests, but the game attempts to incorporate these in as part of the story. The tasks are clearing enemy hideouts which ALWAYS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, there is zero variety, as well as rescuing hostages (takes seconds), hacking (a laughably simple puzzle that takes seconds and is the same every time), destroying particular cars and defeating enemy patrols.This game is mind numbingly repetitive and quite frankly boring. I’m not sure if I’ll even bother finishing it. It’s like they had everything they needed to make a great game - all it would have taken was making each quest, main or side, somewhat unique in its own way. Also some variety in enemies would be nice to see too.Instead, the developers did all the little things well, then suddenly became incredibly lazy when it comes to actual gameplay. This game will inevitably become free on PS Plus, otherwise I’d not pay more than £5 for it. It’s just a mindless shooter game.

I'd ran out of games again so was looking at some cheap games to keep me going. Came across this, it's ok. The story's your typical cliche nonsense, characters are alright but kinda bland, driving is a bit of a pain, game play is overall ok. It's kinda fun, but nothing groundbreaking. If you want some mindless drivel to zone out to then yeah this game is for you. So kinda fun but overall a forgettable game. It's alright for a fiver, but had I paid full price for this I'd be rather displeased.

Agents of Mayhem follows the story of 12 agents who are trying to fight against the evil organisation of legion. However, this isn't your normal good guys vs bad guys scenario. The agents are fighting legion for their own reasons. Some of them are honourable, some of them are not... Each character has their own backstory and side missions that you can dive into. There are also supporting characters such as Friday, Gremlin and many more. All the characters work really well together and keep you laughing through out.In regards to the graphics, they are very similar to saints row. They have the cartoonish over the top graphics that some people love and some people hate. I played the game on a ps4 pro using a 4k tv. Most of the time it ran smoothly but when there is a lot happening on screen, the frames drop. I personally don't care about this but some people might so please be aware.The reason I have rated this 5 stars is because the game contains great characters, good graphics and an intriguing story. If you are buying this game because you think it may be similar to saints row, you will disappointed. If you take the game as a bit of light hearted fun, you will have a great time!Agents of Mayhem May be the best game I have played this year!
