If you’re here for the overthinky bits, just scroll down a little way. Some of you might just be here to learn what those cheats actually are, so let’s get that out of the way and list them before we come back to a bit of amusing analysis. Player character The Boss is a paragon of audacity, a completely ludicrous human being in a world that encourages, celebrates, and rewards their willingness to just be an extremely silly killing machine, and it’s for that reason that I actually think using cheats enhances the experience of Saints Row: The Third. They’re just balls-out fun, and a lot of that is down less to, like, the perfectly-well-craftedness of them as actual games (‘cos they’re not perfect by any stretch of the imagination) than the completely over-the-top presentation that makes them completely ridiculous experiences.

Or, maybe more accurately, I haven’t actually played the first two but I utterly adore Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV – and both are now available on PS4, which is nice! I picked up IV early this year for a couple of quid when it was on sale, and The Third has now come to current-gen consoles courtesy of a very nice remaster.
