Disappointing Saints Row reviews have hit publisher Embracer’s stock price.
Today’s launch of the Saints Row reboot has been seen as the first big test for Embracer’s AAA studio talent, following the company’s enormous and still-ongoing spree of acquisitions over the past couple of years.
But yesterday’s Saints Row embargo lift was met with a lacklustre response from many outlets. Eurogamer’s own review stated the game “won’t set the world alight”, but noted that it still holds some “pleasant surprises”.
