characters are unlikable and the gameplay is boring

So it's Saints Row 4? IMHO that's when the series jumped the shark. The whole "it's all a simulation and you're a superhero" thing killed it for me. The point of Saints Row was that it's wacky and over the top behavior in a realitic-ish world. When everything is fake nothing matters.

a lot more woke then it actually was

The screenshots look 100% woke. The only white people are the victims on the ground. The game's homepage looks like Twitter fanfic or a DIE seminar, complete with rainbow suspenders.
