Seriously Awesome
So, just to start I want to give a brief example of my opinion on the series up to this point: before this game SS3 was my favorite game (it has a rough start but its higher focus on story combined with the great gameplay after a few levels is really what made me a fan). TFE was fun, TSE was better because of some of the crazy parts (like the upside-down room) and more interesting settings, and SS2 is my most hated game of all time. Aside from some BS design, like the over-reliance on hit-scan enemies, I find the core Serious Sam gameplay to be one of the best twitch-shooters. Now, how is SS4? Well, I haven't quite finished it yet but it is already, by far, my favorite in the series. The gameplay is amazing: many of the hitscan enemies have been re-worked to be less annoying, as have a couple of other enemies including the Witch Brides from SS3. Yes, some of the levels, specifically early on, are somewhat sparsely populated, which is a little disappointing but completely understandable given how absolutely massive the levels are now (plus once they release mod tools I'm sure the community will go absolutely crazy with the enemy numbers). The story is easily the best in the series. Written by the same brilliant writers as The Talos Principle it of course nails the dramatic points but shows that they are also capable of writing humor. This easily has the most comedy out of the entire series and, unlike the atrocity of SS2, the majority of it is extremely funny. The only problem in regards to the story is that, first, the cutscene animations are about as jank as they were in SS3, but they manage to make it work well enough. Second, some (not all) of Sam's lines are really poorly digitized, which is a real shame because again this has some of the best one-liners in the series. Music is beyond great, too. Only real problem is the performance, but knowing Croteam it will likely be fixed eventually.
Hilft dir das weiter?
