It wasn't until Saints Row The Third came along that the series fully embraced its now trademark ludicrous over-the-top action, bawdy humor, and bizarrely in-depth character customization. Saints Row 2 did that with more everything along with introducing co-op to the series for the first time (it's still my personal favorite). The original Saints Row started off as an unapologetic GTA clone, arriving in the era between San Andreas and GTA 4, though it did set itself apart with an emphasis on third-person gunplay and gang dynamics. While we'll have to wait until Februto play the new beginning for the open-world crime series, you can start playing the game that arguably set the Saints Row franchise on its course back in 2011 for free on Epic Games Store now (opens in new tab) - no rush, you have until September 2 to claim your copy. Developer Volition unveiled Saints Row at Gamescom Opening Night Live with a cinematic trailer and a brief snippet of gameplay - along with introducing one of the actors behind the new (and still fully customizable) Boss, your playable protagonist. Saints Row is the third game to be free on the Epic Games Store this week: Void Bastards and Yooka-Laylee are also available, while next week Automachef will get the giveaway treatment.
