Having such a wide variety of classes not only adds depth to the gameplay, but also keeps it interesting for a long time.
Pro Excellent slow-paced gameplay
Rainbow Six Siege is unlike most modern FPS games. Instead of a super fast, twitch-based gameplay, it focuses on a very slow, methodical, and tactical approach to combat. You'll carefully navigate a building, peeking around every corner, using gadgets to scout out rooms, rappelling on walls, and listening to every sound around you. It's less about just shooting first and more about finding the enemy while staying hidden yourself, which is a refreshing change in the over saturated competitive FPS genre.
Pro Destructible environments make for a lot of fun
Even though you can't raze buildings to the ground, you can make considerable amounts of structural damage to them. You can destroy walls, floors, and various other objects in the environment using gunfire, explosions, or by just slamming something with your weapon. This is a lot of fun, especially when you're new to this game since everything will seem so amazing.
Pro Rival teams have unique objectives and strategies
Rainbow Six Siege makes players' experience truly unique and engaging by giving both teams different perspective, tools, and objectives. Defenders have to hold their ground against enemy who can burst through walls at any moment. They can fortify the base using barricades and barbed wire, reinforcing doors and windows. The Attackers have to strategize, find the weakest spot in opponent's defence.
Pro An open sandbox provides a wide variety of activities
Saints Row 4 offers a very compelling open world experience that excels when openly parodying other games. So not only does it offer what is the norm of open world gameplay of traversing a large city while completing objectives but it does so in a funny way that pokes fun at similar titles and goes over the top providing an extreme representation.
Pro 2 player online co-op
Saint's Row IV features 2 player online co-op, thought there is no local co-op supported.
Pro Great soundtrack selection
With 109 songs, there is going to be music that suits just about anyone. This also makes for a realistic experience of listening to a radio (as that is how the tracks are provided, as songs on different radio stations in game) due to so many songs being available as it mimics how a radio station would play.
Pro Great character customization
Players can change their appearance if they need to, at any time.
Pro There's a dubstep gun (SRIV)
Cons
Con Ranked play can be discouraging
Not only does Rainbow Six Siege have a very steep learning curve, requiring you to learn map layouts, classes, weapons, and various gadgets, it also has a pretty volatile and demanding community. Even though you can play in ranked matches when you reach level 20, you'll probably get your butt kicked and get promptly flamed by your teammates. This is mostly because of the expectation that you should know everything about the game before you play ranked matches, which is only around the level 60 mark. If you happen to make the mistake of trying them before then, it might leave you with a bad memory that prevents you from wanting to try ranked play again.
Con Lacks single-player content
Rainbow Six Siege is mostly about competitive multiplayer, so it doesn't have a single player campaign, any meaningful storylines, or stuff do alone. If you don't enjoy playing versus other players, Rainbow Six Siege is not the game for you.
Con Worst Saints Row game
Saints row one and two were amazing with it being a serious gang game. The third installment was pretty good but not as serious but it did stick to the formula. But IV is NOT a good installment to this franchise. How do you go from a 3rd person gang shooter to a 3rd person alien shooter with superpowers. Some missions were fun as hell and the last one being one of the best missions but half of the game is destroying this thing and another thing. If it wasn't a saints row game then a 8/10 but they ruined the franchise so a 5/10.
Con Generally only one player (in co-op mode) gets to do the scripted parts
While different players have different roles when playing co-op only the main player is going to see the scripted parts of the game.
