Parent Pro-Tip
Saints Row IV is strictly for mature audiences only - it is absolutely not appropriate for children or teens. If an adult in your household plays this game, ensure young children cannot access it and are not present during gameplay due to extreme violence, sexual content, and language.

Parent Pro-Tip
For adults who enjoy the game, take advantage of the mission structure by completing one mission per session rather than endless free-roaming. The superpowers and diverse arsenal encourage creative experimentation - try different approaches to missions. Use the collectible hunting as a time-limited activity rather than a completionist obsession.

About this game
Saints Row IV is the fourth and the last main entry for the Saints Row franchise. Almost right after stating Steelport as the independent nation in the third game, The Boss (player) is being contacted by MI6 with a mission to eliminate STAG leader Cyrus Temple and prevent him from launching a nuclear attack.
