It is amazing how Croteam still manages to stay the same and yet improve the nearly perfect Serious Sam formula over so many years. Many other arena shooters didn't manage to hold up and progress during so many years, and Serious Sam still is a great example of the top-tier shooters. It is great fun playing it, although brutal difficulty, even on normal, can be crushing. Also great fantasy quest on an oil rig.
I have honestly no clue why Serious Sam 4 gets all this hate. I enjoyed every aspect of this story. This is a prequel to Serious Sam 3 which itself was a prequel to The First Encounter people are mad that the game takes a wholesome tone? Well Duh this is before Sam got sent back in time all alone, I won't mention what happens because that would spoil everything however.. I must add that as someone who started with the First Encounter and has played all the serious sam games except for the spinoffs I thoroughly enjoyed this entry in the series. While I only praised the game so far I also have to highlight the negative aspects too for me its thankfully only one. its not game breaking but it does annoy me a bit sometimes during the cutscenes there are visual glitches otherwise yeah no problems at all. If you enjoy Serious Sam games this is the one you want, in my opinion its a lot better than 3 in some aspects too. Overall Rating 9/10
Incredibly fun I've played Serious Sam games since my childhood and was a big fan of BFE back in the day, and compared to those games, Serious Sam 4 is so much more fun! I've played it 2 times: first on hard difficulty, and then I went on a Serious + all secrets run, which took me 39 hours in total. The gameplay is what you would expect: you just run, grab some ammo, shoot, melee, shoot again, and just keep on shooting most of the time :D But what I liked most, is that the shooting is super addictive and the game has little to no bullsh*t that could distract you from it. Most of the time, I found it difficult to stop playing and exited the game only after the level was completed. Gunplay is really smooth and entertaining, and they added a few bonuses to make it even juicier. You're here to KILL!!! and the game delivers. Moreover, if you care about achievements, you can get them all in just 1 playthrough, so there's literally no grind needed whatsoever. When it comes to difficulty levels , the game feels significantly easier compared to the previous titles. However, if you want a challenge, you can always refuse using gadgets or S.A.M.s and do your thing. The soundtrack is the work of a master. It's dynamic, diverse and, most importantly, it compliments your killing well :D Vatican, Citadel, Cathedral, Oil Rig, Tunguska, and Foreverwar hit hard every single time. The story ... is kinda okay, but it's nothing special, and honestly, both the narrative and the cutscenes could've been more entertaining—in games like Serious Sam, entertaining delivery is all that matters. On my second playthrough, I just skipped through most of the cutscenes to get back to shooting as quickly as possible :) When it comes to cons , I've noticed two significant, in my opinion, issues. The first issue is technical. I've had some frame stutters , while there was no apparent performance load on the system, and had to look for a solution online. I found it pretty quickly and fixed the problem, but I believe this problem should've been nonexistent in the first place. The second issue is a wasted potential of open locations . The gameplay feels great there - you shoot a bunch of aliens that come at you from across a field - but it feels so short-lived. More often than not, I asked out loud, "Is that it?," while in a Serious Sam game, the reaction should've been: "Can they f*cking stop spawning already? I don't have enough ammo for this!" By the way, you never run out of ammo, even on Serious difficulty, unless your aim is way off. Ultimately, those locations felt way too peaceful and way too brief to savor them properly. All things considered, I got everything I expected from Serious Sam 4 and I look forward to Siberian Mayhem, which I've heard is even better <3
Technical and graphical flaws mask what is essentially the best Serious Sam game since 2002 and one of the best shooters in recent years. The game’s rough edges are hard to miss: tons of noticeable pop-in, poor anti-aliasing, the occasional gib clipping through the floor, and the overall lackluster graphics. Performance complaints are also common, but in my own experience the game runs fast and stutter-free. Maxed out on an RTX 4060 @2560x1600, framerates usually stay above 100fps and rarely fall below 60. The technical noise ignored, SS4 delivers. The gunplay is crisp and fun. The enemy roster is nearly up there with The Second Encounter and DOOM Eternal: enemies are well designed and varied, though at times I wish there were more bold and creative fight design choices to truly elevate Serious Sam 4 to GOAT status. The upgrade systems are well implemented and refreshingly simple, without the doomy bloat of other shooters. Fun side missions are a welcome addition, too. And, of course, enemy counts and chaos that are second only to classic DooM slaughter wads. The art direction is colorful and with a hint of character: a clear expressive echo of the classic encounters from the early 2000s. Unfortunately, the environmental design sometimes falls flat - while many levels look aesthetically beautiful, others evoke Serious Sam 3 in their messy grittiness. SS4 sometimes jarringly mixes its uplifting style with bleak urban environments, a tonal clash BFE didn’t have because it fully committed to the apocalyptic tone with all its visuals. Thankfully, these clashes are the exception - most of the game nails the look it’s going for. Finally, the level design in SS4 is more straightforward than in BFE, harkening to the classic Serious Sam formula. I find it less ambitious - I consider SS3 to have excellent level design - but ultimately SS4 strikes a balance between the wide spaces of SS1 and the nuance of BFE without leaning too much into its labyrinthine exploration. By and large, Serious Sam 4 is to Serious Sam 3 what The Second Encounter was to The First Encounter - bigger, better, and more serious.
