Sept. 2026
Serious Sam the First Encounter is already one of the best shooters on the market and the Second Encounter is just... more of it. Instead of being limited to Egypt, the Second Encounter takes the player to the jungles, forests, medieval castles and villages. The loadout also got a few additions, such as the flamethrower and the sniper rifle - both being incredibly useful. Achievements-wise it kinda sucks the majority requires playing the multiplayer game modes. The soundtrack is stilll incredible, give it a listen! Definitely recommend - fantastic, chaotic and over the top shooter.

Another classic and it is the first encounter expanded. More weapons and more enemies. Personally I like the first encounter more, probably because of nostalgia but also since I think that the first encounter was better paced. Playing both gives complete experience.
