10 Best No. 4's In Gaming History

10. Saints Row IV

The above photo shows the player character of Saints Row IV, giving the player a cheeky thumbs up after assassinating a terrorist leader and dismantling a nuclear warhead in mid-air. After this, you become president of the USA, and you're done with the tutorial.

Yes, the tutorial. Saints Row IV starts where most would finish, going full Spinal Tap in its desire to fit in absolutely every idea the developers had. Alien invasion? Sure! Superpowers? Go for it! Biz Markie? Damn right!

SR IV is a glorious playground of a game, where the most fun to be had is in simply exploring the world with your superpowers. If you've had a bad day, leaping from skyscraper to skyscraper while Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" plays in the background is sure to lift your mood.

Saints Row IV's playground is further bolstered with some of the best playmates in gaming. SR IV is a culmination of the bonds forged by the Third Street Saints over the course of the series, and features some brilliant character moments: Car-singing with your bestie, watching your friend move on from a toxic ex and, of course, the best romance in video game history. (Warning: NSFW language).

After the debacle of the 2022 reboot, treat yourself to a replay of Saints Row IV and remember why you fell in love with the Third Street Saints in the first place.
