"Sopranos", which is ridiculed by players as a "funny version of GTA", has brought happiness to many players with its humorous and funny game content. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a decade since the release of "Sopranos 4". After a long wait, we finally ushered in the release of the new series "Sopranos Saints" reboot.
At the time of the re-release of "The Sopranos Saints", the ratings of various media stations have been lifted. According to the statistics of M station, the average score given by 34 media is 62 points, of which 12 give positive reviews, 16 give middle ratings, and 6 give bad reviews. So is this new work in the "Sopranos" series, which was launched many years later, really that unbearable?
Return to the classics, but lose the character
Although taking the funny route is a feature of the "Sopranos Saints" series, the production team obviously played too much in the 4th generation, so that the ending of the "Destruction of the Earth" in the sequel was not very good. Perhaps because of this, what is in front of us today is not "Sopranos 5", but a completely new world after the restart.
The scene of the great war aliens in generation 4
Compared to the superpowers, aliens and other surreal elements in "Sopranos 4", players seem to prefer the classic pure gun battles in "Sopranos 3", and apparently the production team also noticed this. Therefore, the new work returns to three generations of classic gunfight gameplay, retaining some nonsensical styles, while also abandoning a lot of "surreal" content.
In the new work, although you can still experience the fun of the wild bombardment in the previous game, due to the production team's excessive stability and convergence in the production of the game this time, it has caused the new work to lose some of the features of the series. For example, although there are many weapons and vehicles in the new work, most of them tend to be normalized, and there is a lot less funny taste.
Customizations are rich and still fun
When it comes to the "Sopranos" series, we have to mention its custom content. Whether it's Generation 3 or Generation 4, custom content is a major feature that attracts players. In the reboot, you can still experience the infinite fun of this.
In terms of characters, you are free to adjust the character's various characteristics, including but not limited to the head, face and chest. The game has a presence similar to the "Workshop", and you can also choose to use the pinched faces of other players directly.
At the same time, there are a lot of costumes in the game, you can freely match according to your preferences, of course, if you are troublesome, you can also go out shopping "without hanging" (in the real sense, it is not hanging at all, but it will still play code).
In addition to the rich character customization content, weapons and vehicles still have a fairly rich content setting. Almost all the cars you can drive and weapons you can use in the game, you can customize them at different levels (colors, materials, patterns, etc.). Armed with homemade powerful weapons, driving homemade cool luxury cars, and driving between this "sin city", the scene is full of fun to think about.
The plot is joyful, but lacks depth
Since generation 3, the witty and humorous mission plot has become a major feature of the "Sopranos" series, and it is no exception in the reboot. Take the game's "Live Action Game" series of missions, which revolve around the theme of "role-playing", so that all enemies in battle are fake deaths, and the execution and fake death actions are quite exaggerated due to the poor acting skills of both sides. There are many similar funny mission plot designs in the game, which can undoubtedly bring enough joy to everyone.
However, if you spend a few minutes thinking about the deep meaning of the plot, you will find that you waste these few minutes. The rebooted mission plot is still the signature "" plot of The Sopranos, whose purpose is to bring joy to the player, and its depth (deep meaning) is basically nothing.
Slightly banal "open world"
Long ago, the production team announced that the "Underworld Saints" reboot is an "open world" game, and this has also filled the expectations of players. However, after entering the game, it takes less than 5 minutes to fly the helicopter from the corner of the map to the opposite corner.
Although the "Sopranos" series is not a game that blindly pursues "big maps", since they have long declared that they want to open the world, the map is still so "small", it is somewhat impossible to say. At the same time, in this "small open world", there is relatively little content that players can freely explore. Such an "open world" is indeed slightly mediocre when viewed today.
summary
The Sopranos reboot obviously doesn't feel as bad as 62 points, but here we can still enjoy the thrill of bombing, the rich customization content and the fun of humorous plots. However, the game has not improved much compared to the previous game, and the "open world" presented in the game is indeed a little mediocre in this era.
If you're looking for some in-depth gameplay, story, or open worlds to explore freely, it's clear that this game isn't for you. Of course, if you just want to have fun with your life through in-game customization content and bombing, then this game is still worth a try.
