Last I checked Hitler didn’t have a pet alligator eating his enemies.īut okay, it's just one DLC pack. Giancarlo Esposito even said the game’s villain, Anton Castillo, takes inspiration from infamous figures like Adolf Hitler, so the politics are unashamedly clear. But this is not satire, and it feels like the joke is on us. Politics is ridiculous enough to be fertile ground for comedy see The Thick of It, Thank You For Smoking, and Donald Trump. You can't one minute show the unflinching violence of fascism and then next give me the Explod-o-Matic 3000 and team me up with a friendly alligator mate and expect me to take anything you have to say seriously. The problem is silly little dogs in waistcoats that you recruit for your cause completely blunt the seriousness of your points. They're no cats, but sure - most dogs are cool.

You can't, especially in our current, divisive climate, argue you are making a staunchly political game then promote it with Netflix crossovers about rescuing a stupid dog. It's not like silly things can't have meaning either - The Artful Escape has a lot of profound ideas about identity. I was full of praise for The Artful Escape recently, and even spoke to the game's director about the ridiculousness of controlling a prog-rock prodigy on a journey through outer space.
Games have no rules, they can be as weird or off the wall as they like.
My favourite Saints Row is the fourth one. I have no problem with games being silly.
