With this game (as well as the first HD) you will definitely be able to make new friends who will add you to complete the Diverse Fragger achievement. This friendship will not last long, but still.

Well... Fine. This is a shooter you can play FPS or TPS. The graphics are decent. The music is good. The story is also decent, even funny. No bugs or crashes. Overall, the game is very entertaining. There are lots of enemies and several weapons to try. It's a fast-paced game with an emphasis on humor, and it offers plenty of content for the price. Plus, it includes cards and achievements. Now, I do recommend this game, but with a note of caution. Some levels have a significant difficulty spike, becoming very challenging. Rage-quitting is a real possibility. If you're up for a challenge, this game will be a good choice. Save often and enjoy the mayhem!

Why not assemble Serious Sam HD First and Second Encounter into one game and call it simply Serious Sam 1? So that we have a series of 1, 2, 3, 4 and maybe others in the future. I know that all chapters of First Encounter HD are included into Second Encounter HD, but they have no order there, they're kinda messy. I'd be nice to have them ordered in a linear way as in original games, but assembled in one. And please name games accordingly so that they get arranged chronologically in Steam Library (or anywhere else).
