Held in common with Saints Row 2: open world exploration, melee combat and single-player focus. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. The distance is in visuals — its own ground is a first-person view.

If Saints Row 2 worked for you because of open world exploration, melee combat and single-player focus, the same is here. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is game mode: puzzle design and strong narrative focus.

Shelved next to Saints Row 2 for good reason: open world exploration, melee combat and multiplayer gameplay. To that it adds exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. They part company on world and progression: this one brings procedural generation.

It comes from the same genre as Saints Row 2 and shares open world exploration, melee combat and single-player focus. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. The distance is in world and progression — its own ground is precision platforming and a casual, approachable feel.
