Any game that features an automatic Shotgun which can be dual wielded is good in my book

I really love croteam since i was a little kid because i started my pc gaming career with Serious Sam. Serious Sam 1 is still one the best arena shooters of all time but i dont know why Croteam is not focusing on making it better just like the first one. everyone knows that SS2 wasnt good as SS1 and neither SS3. and now after finishing 4th one again i can say it was a mid game while Talos Principle 1 and even 2 are fantastic! its not just about weakness of Serious Engine.. its about lack of Creativity. First of all i dont know why game has turned into a joke? i mean Sam has been always funny but i think this is a little bit too much and there is no balance between being Serious and Funny! Second problem: why there is no sense of mystery in this series anymore? cause i remember Serious Sam 1 beginning was scary as hell Third problem: why characters are so sublime and ridiculous? their behavior and how they have been animated is not good at all Please Croteam... give more attention to Serious Sam series when you care about Talos that much. and last words..... Actually i liked Siberian Mayhem and i think Timelock studio has done a better job with this series after Serious Sam 3 Thank you Croteam ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀:¨ ·.· ¨: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ `· . ꔫ

So, Serious Sam 1&2 were perfect. 3 was five steps in the wrong direction, and then this game is 3 back in the right direction. Pros: - The combat is good as usual - New enemy types (some better than others) - New secondary fire abilities on classic weapons - "Gadgets" such as a black hole, time slow, mini-nuke, etc. - Arrows telling you which way to go, because this isn't a puzzle or open world game. Great choice - Copied L4Ds homework, which makes a lot of sense for this kind of game Cons: - Too many cutscenes (I would prefer if there were none.. at least I can skip these) - Characters existing at all - Characters yapping at your over the radio Once again Croteam has made a delicious meal. In S3 they shat all over the plate afterward. However in this one they have placed the shit nicely in the corner. You can eat around it, but man I really wish it wasn't there. 7.5/10 ?

Aug. 2024

This game is 60% walking/running and 40% action. Stunning graphics and visual effects. Plethora of weapons and enemies. Vast and open landscapes with stunning scenery. Although you have these massive arenas to fight in it feels that you are running around more which can get very tedious. Not an game that I could play for hours on end as turning monsters into red mist becomes bland. The game only really picks up the action around chapter 10. The one liners and jokes falls flat and was not amusing at all. Sam is old and tired and it is time to let him rest. 7/10

July 2024

Barely recommended. It's the weakest of all main Serious Sam games without a doubt (below Next encounter and 2), some maps are insanely huge but there are baarely any encounters, and the ones there are, are usually lackluster and even boring. (and i played on Serious difficulty throught all of it and all secondary objectives) There are only a few good/brilliant fights, the standout being the one in a Quarry... However, having slogged through the rest of the game to get there, and afterwards having mediocre to some good fights sprinkled throught... doesn't fully redeem it in my eyes. I am sure most of the space could've been used better (as exemplified with the quarry fight) This is before even going into it's other problems like: 1) Having bad performance while looking just a tiny bit better than Sam 3, i had to tweak the game quite a bit to feel stable. 2) A badly paced and not so good or entertaining story (with, again, only really one/very few standout moments) 3) The latter chapters fight's with the exception of the final chapter feeling emptier/more rushed than usual 4) Some gadgets felt completely useless despite the efforts required to get some of them. 5) Some upgrades feel mandatory like the reload speed or reloading while sprinting when they could've been there by default and tuning a few fights with them in mind, and other upgrades being extremely niche/useless. With all they got, they could've crafted many more kickass fights and a better story, but i guess being in development hell for so long made things very messy. Here's hoping the next main game comes brilliantly after all lessons learned from dev hell, and some of the experience with the Talos Principle 2.
